Details
These ski lessons are designed for children from 6 years old and adults. We carefully curate our groups of 8 to 10 participants to create pleasant and optimal learning conditions. Our qualified ski instructors guide participants with patience and attention, creating a positive atmosphere throughout the lesson.
Learning happens step by step: from fundamental preliminary exercises necessary to learn the basics, to a gradual transition into actual skiing. This systematic approach helps participants learn the correct ski technique, develop necessary skills, and feel safe and confident on the skis. During the lesson, we also incorporate playful elements and varied practical exercises to make the learning process interesting, foster motivation, and help everyone learn new skills with joy.
The ski school is located in the 14th district of Vienna, allowing you to learn how to ski or improve your technique directly within the city. We are easily accessible via public transport. The lesson takes place on an innovative synthetic ski surface, designed to match the properties and feel of skiing on real snow as closely as possible. Thanks to this synthetic surface, you can learn to ski, train, and improve your technique independently of snow and snow conditions.
Lunch Break
The lunch break takes place from 12:00 to 13:00. During the lunch break, the children are looked after free of charge by our ski instructors and spend the break with their group. Parents are responsible for providing their children’s meals; please give your child a packed lunch or collect them for the lunch break. Our ski instructors ensure that all children are well looked after and feel comfortable during the break.
Additionally, a 10-minute break is scheduled during the lesson to rest and have a small snack.
Meeting Time
We meet 30 minutes before the start of the lesson at our rental shop Skiverleih Ötscher Hohe Wand Wiese. This time is needed to select the appropriate equipment and fit it correctly.
Equipment Rental
For rental equipment, please add it to your cart during checkout. The cost is €15 per day, covering skis, ski boots, and a helmet. If you do not have your own ski equipment, it must be reserved in advance.
Bring Along
We recommend the "onion principle" (layering). Participants move a lot during the ski course, so they can quickly get warm. Under the ski jacket, we recommend a fleece jacket or a warm sweater.
- Waterproof ski clothing: ski jacket and ski pants
- High ski socks
- Fleece jacket or warm sweater for the layering principle
- Gloves and ski goggles
- Sun protection if needed
- Lunch, small snack and enough drinks
- Ski equipment (skis, ski boots and helmet) – if you don’t have your own, it must be booked in advance
- A cheerful attitude!
Ski pass
The ski pass is included and does not have to be purchased separately.
Good to Know
- Free parking: For all participants arriving by car, a free parking space is available directly on site – a big advantage in Vienna!
This children's ski course in Vienna is a hit with families, with around 89% of reviewers awarding it five stars. Parents consistently praise the "calm and clear teaching style" of the friendly and patient instructors, who are fantastic with kids. Many are amazed at the rapid learning progress, with children skiing independently after just a couple of days. While a few found the groups a bit large at times and one mentioned the food wasn't perfectly kid-friendly, the overall feedback is outstanding. It's an ideal and fun introduction for young beginners to gain confidence on skis.

My son, 5 years old, participated in a two-day ski course with Anton and Oksana. They were fantastic with the children and also provided parents with excellent information about the goals, access, and requirements. My child had a great time and persevered despite the somewhat challenging conditions on the mat – thanks to the motivated and competent instructors!
