We will meet at the mountain station, 50 metres to the left in the children's park of the Optimal ski school.
Your child wants to learn to ski but isn’t sure if it’s the right fit? Then this taster day is perfect for children between 4 and 5 years old! In the heart of the Zillertal, young adventurers begin a wonderful skiing journey, learning the art of skiing with ease and joy.
The specially designed children’s park is perfectly equipped to teach skiing in a fun and playful way. It serves as the meeting point for all children’s courses and is easily accessible on foot from Mountain Station II. With its three magic carpets and a safe, dedicated practice area for children, this resort ensures a fun and educational experience for young skiers. Using our magic carpet, children are carried up the practice slope, staying motivated as they learn to balance on skis and make their first turns.
The ski lessons are specially designed for children, with modern aids such as ropes, hoops, and fun noodles, ensuring an enjoyable and engaging experience. In the large play tent with swings and slides, children can take a break and play in between.
The Kids World (300m²) at Mountain Station II is our ski school’s own children’s restaurant. Here, we provide optimal lunchtime care in a child-friendly environment. Children can eat, play, and recharge before heading into the afternoon lessons. With various play areas, a children’s toilet, and a kids’ cinema, your children are perfectly cared for during lunch.
The absolute highlight of the week is the children’s ski race on Thursday, where every participant receives a certificate and medal—a wonderful reminder of their progress. With a mix of structured learning and playful activities, these courses offer an unforgettable introduction to the world of skiing.
We meet 15 minutes before the course starts at the top station, 50 meters to the left in the ski school’s kids’ park.
