Celebrate every milestone achieved!

The ESi medals presentation is the highlight of the week. Students receive a complimentary medal. The ESi medal is an internationally recognized symbol of their progress after a week of hard work, fun, and shared experiences. This tradition is an integral part of the learning process and celebrates every milestone achieved. From discovering the initial thrill of sliding on snow to mastering the most demanding techniques in skiing, snowboarding, Nordic skiing, or freestyle, the joy of reaching new levels is always part of the experience.

Note: our ‘complimentary ESi medals’ offer applies exclusively to weekly group lessons (format: 5 or 6 days – children & teens).
