- Carré Neige "Alpin" insurance : offered as an option when you buy your lessons online.

What happens if I cancel my stay?
Cancellation before/during the course:
- If you have taken out a personal cancellation insurance policy (in particular the one offered by the E.S.F. when you purchased online), please refer to its conditions.
- If you have not taken out a cancellation insurance: The packages are reserved only for fixed dates. In case of cancelation regardless of the reason, the cost of the package cancelled will not be reimbursed by E.S.F nor will it be exchanged for another package.

My child will be 3 years old soon after our stay in La Tania. Can I enrol him/her in Piou Piou?
Depending on the period, you can ask at the esf Courchevel la Tania office if it is possible to discover the Piou-Piou Club.
If the session goes well, you just have to go to the esf office to extend the session to a week and your child can stay in this group.

My child is at the Piou-Piou Club, should I provide a snack?
No, it's not necessary: a small snack will be provided by esf during the morning and afternoon lessons.
In a private course, is the medal included in the price of the course?
No, the medal is not included in the price of the private lesson(s). As the test is not always taken in private lessons, you should ask your instructor for information. At the end of the session(s), he/she will tell you which medal to buy according to your child's test. Medals are available at the esf office.
I can' t access the payment page once I have booked my courses online.
