What to Expect
Introduce your child to the joy of skiing right in Vienna! Our children's ski course is specifically designed for kids aged 3 to 5 who are on skis for the first time. The instruction takes place step by step: first, the children do simple preliminary exercises, learn to develop a feel for the skis, maintain their balance, and move correctly with the equipment. Once the necessary basics are in place, we gradually move on to gliding, ski control, braking, and the first independent descents. We combine necessary technical exercises with playful elements and age-appropriate tasks.
Learning together with children of the same age makes the introduction easier, promotes togetherness, and ensures even more joy. In small groups of maximum 6 children, our experienced instructors create a safe learning environment.
The lesson lasts 2 hours and takes place on an innovative synthetic ski surface, providing a realistic feel independent of snow conditions. A 10-minute break is scheduled during the lesson for the kids to recover, eat, and drink.
The ski pass is already included. The ski school is located in the 14th district of Vienna and is easily accessible via public transport. For parents arriving by car, there are free parking spaces available directly on site.
