The Jardin des Neiges “Club de Piou-piou”
At the heart of the Bellevaux-Hirmentaz ski resort, the ‘Jardin des Neiges’ caters for children of 4 and above, with a secure, custom designed centre where they can have fun learning to ski with qualified instructors from the ESF (ski school).
The ‘Jardin des Neiges’ is open during the Christmas and February school holidays.
It’s by having fun and copying others in small groups that children learn best how to ski.
At this age they learn very quickly!
The ESF ski school offers a range of options, including day nursery facilities, so that parents can spend the day or half day skiing.

"Milk to cheese" workshop and farmhouse tea
Mountain agriculture combines tradition and modernity: the Chevrotin and Tomme de chèvre cheeses are made in the traditional way in a copper cauldron, thus retaining all the characteristic flavour of the mountain pastures.
This educational farm is dedicated to introducing people of all ages (3 to 103!) to the world of farming. Rebecca and Jean-Yves will show you the secrets of cheese making and explain why you shouldn’t stop at just one taste but should seek out others and try them in order to develop your palate.
Visitors can help with the milking, make their own fresh Tomme and learn about life on the farm.
Monday to Friday, 4pm
Price: 8.35 € adult ; 6.25 € child (from 4 years old)
