What equipment do you need for the Snow Garden?

Bring warm, waterproof clothing, gloves, sunglasses or a mask, sun cream and, of course, a ski helmet for optimum safety.

Snow Garden in Les Gets The birthplace of future champions

Here, learning to ski is like no other: it’s a sensory adventure, a first contact with the glide that slowly becomes anchored in your children’s memories. At Les Gets, we transform the initial apprehension into an unforgettable moment*, where you simply feel good.

A playful cocoon for enchanting first glides

Le Jardin des Neiges is a real cocoon of fun, where learning is all about imagination. Between the colourful figurines and the specially adapted snow wires, your little explorers will learn to balance without even realising it.

The feel of the snow, the adjustment of the first bindings, the pleasure of sliding a few metres… each stage is celebrated. This caring environment allows your children to master their first spatulas with complete confidence, under the watchful eye of professionals who are passionate about teaching.

Peace of mind for the whole family

In Les Gets, we know that holidays with young children require fluid logistics. That’s why Le Jardin des Neiges is ideally located on the snow front and easily accessible from the village centre.

Choosing our resort for your children’s first runs means you can enjoy the luxury of proximity. After the lesson, it will only take a few minutes to meet up for a steaming hot chocolate in the old village, and share the story of their morning’s exploits. That’s what the “Family Cocoon” spirit of Les Gets is all about: minimising constraints to maximise memories.
