ESF Valmeinier, Conviviality and authenticity
Club Piou Piou
With the French Ski School, children from the age of 3 learn to ski while having fun in an environment specially designed for them: the Jardin Piou Piou.
The main objective of Club Piou Piou is to motivate the child to move and play in the snow area by entering his "imaginary" world. This pedagogical concept is based on the notions of pleasure, freedom and games through the implementation of adapted and unconstrained learning.
All the activities are done through animations linked to the discovery of the 5 key characters in the story of the “Adventures of Piou Piou”.
