Gold Level. This week consists of 5 days of alpine skiing at La Dôle, at the gateway to the Lake Geneva region. Located 35 minutes from Geneva and 45 minutes from Lausanne, La Dôle mountain is the focal point above Lake Geneva, facing the Alps with a splendid view of Mont Blanc.
Supervised by a Swiss ski instructor from the region, children discover new slopes and improve their skiing every day while having fun and making new friends.
