Taking part: Participation in lessons requires a good level of health and fitness (for special cases please contact us), clothing and equipment designed for winter sports, respectful behaviour during lessons towards the instructor and other participants as well as compliance with instructions and advice.
– Minimum number of participants: All group lessons, teen courses, whether for children and adults, require a minimum of 4 participants per level.
– Panda group: This group is only for 3-year-olds, proof of age is required for all children under 4.
– Participant levels: The homogeneity of the participants’ levels contributes to the smooth running of the lessons. Since the level cannot be checked in advance, the participant is responsible for signing up for the right group. Consequently, the Ecole de Ski Arc Aventures by Evolution 2 and its instructors reserve the right to transfer any participant with a level higher or lower than the overall group to another that better suits their level (should such a group be open and have free spaces). The participant will not be able to claim any refund or any compensation for this as it was their responsibility when booking.
Teachers: Our instructors are state-certified professionals in their specialities (or are preparing for their state qualification). The feasibility of any lesson is subject to the judgement of the instructor depending on the weather conditions, snow conditions and the skill levels of the participants.
Third party accidents: In the event of an accident caused by a third party involving one of the participants, the instructor and Ecole de Ski Arc Aventures by Evolution 2 are not obliged to ascertain the identity or contact details of the third party. As such, no responsibility falls to the instructor or the Ecole de Ski Arc Aventures by Evolution 2.

We strongly recommend that each customer take out cancelation insurance as well as specialised winter sport insurance, such as the ‘Carré Neige’ and check whether the following is covered: personal injury, rescue and transportation, non-participation in lessons, equipment hire/ theft and cancellation costs.
