Medals and levels

Celebrate every milestone!

The ESi medals ceremony is the highlight of the week. Students receive a complimentary medal. The ESi medals are an internationally recognized symbol of their progress after a week of hard work, fun, and camaraderie.  This tradition is an integral part of the learning experience and celebrates every milestone achieved. From discovering the first sensations of gliding to mastering the most challenging techniques in skiing, snowboarding, Nordic skiing, or freestyle, the joy of reaching new levels is always there.

Note: Our “free medal” offer is valid exclusively for weekly group lessons (format: 5–6 days—children & teens)
