## About La Norma

La Norma is car-free and deliberately small: you park below, take the gondola up, and once you are there everything is within a few minutes' walk. For families with young children that layout removes most of the daily friction of a ski holiday.

The skiing is modest and wooded, facing across the Maurienne valley towards the Vanoise.

## Where lessons start

About as low-stress as a family ski week gets in France: no roads, no distances, and the learning slopes are next to the accommodation.

## Getting there
