Safety Children
The Swiss Ski School Villars is wholeheartedly dedicated to promoting children’s rights, particularly their right to participate and develop in sports within a safe and inclusive environment, free from all forms of discrimination, abuse, violence, neglect, and exploitation. By endorsing Article 3 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, which has been ratified by Switzerland, we anticipate that all parents/carers, staff, and volunteers share this commitment.
This commitment includes accepting responsibility for the protection of children and ensuring that any concerns about a child’s safety or well-being are shared with the appropriate staff.
To help us with this, we collaborate with SwissSafeSport and highly encourage all our employees to undergo an awareness-raising course on prevention in sports, as a foundational step.

Testimonials
We are dedicated to offering you a safe and enjoyable experience!
Many thanks to Sylvio De Bortoli! The best instructor I've ever met: patient, competent and friendly. We look forward to seeing him again next year!
My 4 and a half year old daughter took a week of ski lessons, and as a bonus she was awarded the blue princess medal.
The instructor (Anne) was very kind, very patient and really great with small children. My daughter made a lot of progress during this week!
What's more, the ski area is truly magnificent!
To learn to ski and gain confidence, I booked a private lesson at the Swiss Ski school Villars. Sylvain M. was my coach during this experience on the Bretaye estate. During those first 2 hours, he accompanied me with a lot of patience and pedagogy. His serenity and technical advice helped me a lot. Now it's time to practice! I highly recommend it to all beginners who want to feel secure in their start. Thanks Sylvain!
Excellent organization with departure from Lausanne! My daughters loved the week's skiing and the instructors Adrien, Antoine and Alexandra were great with the kids! I highly recommend it for parents' peace of mind!
An excellent experience with the Swiss Ski School Villars in December!
Our 11 and 14 year-olds really enjoyed taking part in a Level 2 group class and being congratulated on their performances.
After 2 afternoons, they were ready to move up to the next level.
My daughter has even reconciled herself with skiing, because the instructors at school had put her off it.
I'd recommend this ski school and I'd like to say a big thank you again to Nicolas R., a great instructor!
Thanks to Marie, William, Nicolas and Greg for their expertise and kindness. Our children have been taking lessons for 5 years with exceptional, highly professional teachers. The office team is lovely and always smiling.
Our champions
Our school takes pride in having numerous champions who have successfully represented us at the Olympic Games, World Cups, and other Swiss championships! We are proud to introduce them to you and wish them FULL SUCCESS!!!!
