Your kid wants to learn how to ski? Then these kids ski lessons for first timers between 4 and 12 years in the beautiful ski resort Kaltenbach are ideal! Nestled in the heart of the Alps, Kaltenbach offers a perfect blend of scenic beauty and excellent facilities. The resort is renowned for its well-maintained slopes and a dedicated Kid's World, where children can enjoy skiing in a safe and engaging environment. With its three magic carpets and specialised children’s practice area, this resort ensures a fun and educational experience for young skiers.
The ski lesson begins with a warm welcome at the Kid's Park, a specially designed area filled with playful equipment like ropes, fun-noodles, and Big Foot skis. Here, children will be introduced to the basics of skiing, learning how to balance and move on their skis. The use of these playful tools makes the learning process both fun and effective, ensuring that each child gains confidence on the snow.
Throughout the day, the children will enjoy full-day care, with breaks in our child-friendly restaurant for meals and rest. The highlight of the week is undoubtedly the children's ski race on Thursday, where every participant receives a certificate and medal, fostering a sense of achievement. Parents can also relax knowing their children are well-cared for, while they enjoy the freedom to explore the resort's other slopes. With a mix of structured learning and playful activities, these lessons offer a memorable introduction to the world of skiing.
