Kids Ski Lessons (4-6 y.) for All Levels - Arosa

About the Activity

What to Expect

At our kids ski lessons in Arosa your children, whether they are beginners or already have their first experience, can learn to ski in a safe environment. The course is for children aged 4 to 6 years who enjoy spending time in the snow.

In our ski school, we offer group courses in small groups of only 4 to 8 people, as the trained ski instructors can take care of each child individually and ensure a great learning progress. Children who have never stood on skis before will start in our Honeyland. Here they get to know the equipment, take their first steps and learn how to ski and stop properly in the plough. More experienced skiers practice the correct use of sticks and already ski down some more challenging slopes.

Our team cares for your children with a lot of heart, so that they feel comfortable with us and make progress. In addition, they incorporate many playful exercises into the course so that fun is not neglected. This way, your children will quickly learn new skills under the best supervision, which they will want to show you right away.

Official level classification of the Swiss ski schools:

Swiss Snow Kids Village 1: First Timer. I am standing on skis for the very first time. My course goal: I can move around on skis in easy terrain, walk uphill, glide downhill and stop.

Swiss Snow Kids Village 2: I can stop and make my first turns in easy terrain, but I cannot yet use a T-bar lift (anchor lift). My course goal: I learn how to use the T-bar lift, either on my own or with another child.

Blue Prince/Princess: I can stop, make snowplough (pizza) turns, and I can use the T-bar lift by myself or with a partner. My course goal: I improve my gliding, stopping, and snowplough turning skills, and increase my speed.

Blue King/Queen: I can ski confidently on blue slopes and use all ski lifts. My course goal: I learn traversing, side-slipping, skiing over waves and hollows, easy boxes, and continue practicing snowplough turns.

Blue Star: I can already ski confidently on easy red slopes. My course goal: I ski waves and hollows at higher speed, and practice snowplough swings (the step before parallel turns).

Red Prince/Princess: I can perform snowplough turns on more challenging terrain (blue and red slopes). My course goal: I learn to brake in parallel, perform the “waltz” turn, and do classic parallel turns (French fries).

Red King/Queen: I can do parallel turns (classic, skidded style). My course goal: I learn short turns on easy slopes, basic air (small jumps), and the skating step on flat terrain.

Red Star: I ski confidently, in parallel and at good speed on all red slopes, and I have already skied some easy black slopes. My course goal: I practice parallel turns in a slalom course, parallel switch turns (backwards), skiing on one leg, and short turns on intermediate terrain.

Black: I can do parallel turns on all slopes. My course goal: I master short turns with pole planting in challenging terrain, jumps, and parallel turns on ungroomed slopes.
