Details
Our kids ski lessons for first-timers in Grächen are ideal for children between 4 and 15 years who want to try their hand at skiing. Together with our professional ski instructors, kids are gently introduced to skiing and can quickly record learning progress.
After fun warm-up exercises, the children start to get used to the material. As soon as they are confident on the skis, our ski instructors show them their first schussing exercises. They quickly gain confidence on the piste, and it certainly won't be long until they can brake on their own. Playfully, the kids work their way towards their first turns. Small groups of 6 people maximum allow the ski instructors to respond to each individual participant.
The Kinderland directly at the top station of the Hannigalp gondola leaves nothing to be desired: With 4 magic carpets and numerous colourful obstacles, learning is even more fun! Every Friday, the kids ski race takes place together with our mascot Bobi, where the little racers can put their newly learned skills to the test.
Meeting point
We meet 5 minutes before the start of the course at the Kinderland at the top station of the Hannigalp gondola. You will need to take a cable car to reach our meeting point. When you drop off your kid, our ski instructors will let you know where to pick them up after the lesson.
Equipment Rental
If you book including equipment, you can conveniently pick it up at our ski school office. We recommend picking up your equipment the day before the first lesson from 2 pm to 6:30 pm.
Ski pass
All skiers need a ski pass from the first day of the lessons. You can buy your ski pass at the ski lift ticket office before the first lesson. The ski pass is free for children under 6 years old. However, you need to collect it at the lift ticket office before the first lesson. Please be aware that you need a ski pass to take your kid to the meeting point.
Small groups offer high efficiency and the ski instructors are truly excellent. My granddaughter immediately developed a great deal of trust in her ski instructor, which is not always the case with her.
