Hi, going to la plagne 1800 on 18th Jan, can someone tell me what typre of lift services the beginner green run in 1800 village, looks to be a rope drag?
Also what ages would be Ok on a button, my lad is 5, normal build. He's done magic carpets and chairs but never alone on a button.
Thanks
Mally

loads of kids younger than 5 are fine on buttons - but will he not be in ski lessons? On beginner drags the lift attendants will generally be very helpful in getting them started - and picking them up and helping them start again if necessary. But you'll need to be prepared to jump off after him, if he falls off.

mally, then the instructor will sort him out. At 5 years old they can listen to instructions (e.g. to "stand up") and respond appropriately. He'll be fine. Not long before he is skiing rings around you.

True........especially the bit about skiing rings! I used to ski ten years ago, now I board but I skied last year so I could help him, the help wasn't appreciated or required, he wasn't a fan of being in between my legs...."Daddy let go, I'm fine" were his words....."Evan, turn, turn, slow down, Evan, Evan, pizza, pizza,......." Waste of time.....He'll be fine.

My youngest had got button lifts sorted by the end of her first lesson in the mountains aged 4, prior to that all she had used were the travelators at Tamworth.

FAQ
I think once they got out the snow garden on maybe the second day, they maybe spent a few hours on Praconduit at most before graduating to Plagne Centre and the greens up there, and then after that the blues around the whole resort for the rest of the week. If this is your son's second week he'll probably be shooting down black runs by the end of the week 
I think I'm joking, but I never imagined my four year old cheerfully skiing down a red in her first week either!
