Competition initiation
Children who have earned their Etoile d'Or and are at least 7 years old can now try their hand at competitions!

Lasting 6 days, the Competition Initiation course is an opportunity for your child to test their skills and reveal their full potential.

Under the expert guidance of their instructor, they'll train in the Giant Slalom (Flèche) to fine-tune their technique, before competing in the Flèche at the end of the week!

The Flèche is a timed event that counts towards the Ski Open ranking.
