Kids Ski Lessons (5-17 years) - All Levels

Learning to ski or improving existing skiing skills turns into a fun adventure with our kids ski lessons in Cardrona. All children from the age of 5 are welcome to join us for a fun time in the snow together with many new friends.

From the first sliding attempts in our dedicated beginner's area to perfect parallel turns on challenging slopes: our experienced ski instructors will come up with a fun and diverse programme for every experience level.

To ensure the best possible learning outcomes, we hold the kids ski lessons in groups of similar ability and of around 8 to 10 participants. For teenagers between 15 and 17 years, child rates apply but they will take part in the adults' lessons.

Kids' Club (up to 14 years)
If you book our Kids' Club, you can drop off your children from 8:30 am and we will take care of picking out the right equipment for them. We will also serve them a hot lunch during the lunch break.

Meeting Time
We meet at least 10 minutes before the start of the ski lessons on the snow front at Cardrona Alpine Resort base. Please make sure that the children are ready for the lesson and have all their equipment.

Lunch Break
For full-day lessons, the lunch break takes place between the 12:20 and 2:00 pm.

You can pick up booked rental equipment and lift pass at one of our shops in Queenstown (37 Camp Street, Queenstown 9300), Wanaka (20 Helwick Street, Wanaka 9305) or directly at the Cardrona Alpine Resort base on the mountain. Please pick it up in the evening before the lesson or in the morning before the lessons.
