The services shall be provided for individuals or for groups. For lessons to be properly conducted in a group, the skiers should have the same level. In view of the material impossibility for the instructors of the ESF of Praz sur Arly to verify the level of each pupil prior to registration, the pupil shall be responsible for his choice of technical level according to the scale drawn up by the ESF of Praz sur Arly.

Accordingly, the ESF of Praz sur Arly reserves the right to reintegrate a skier into a group that is better adapted to his level if such level does not correspond to his declaration, and subject to the capacities of the other groups. The skier shall not be able to claim any reimbursement or other compensation as a result thereof due to his (or her) declaration. For a group with less than 4 people, the ESF reserves the right to group 2 lessons, without any possibility for reimbursement or compensation. 

Skiing lessons are organized in a specific environment of an unpredictable nature. For such purpose the pupil shall be personally required to take care of his own safety and that of others.
