At the ski school office (Postfeldstraße 36, 6272 Kaltenbach)
We will meet at the mountain station, 50 metres to the left in the children's park of the Optimal ski school.
If your children would like to improve their skiing skills, then this ski course for children aged 4 to 12 with prior skiing experience in the beautiful Hochzillertal-Kaltenbach ski resort is ideal! Nestled in the stunning Zillertal, this resort offers a perfect combination of breathtaking views and a wide variety of slopes for all levels. With its modern facilities and welcoming atmosphere, it is an excellent choice for young skiers who want to develop their skills further.
The course is designed to make skiing easy and fun, with a strong focus on adventure and learning. The lessons are specially tailored for children, using modern teaching tools and ideal terrain conditions. Children will first get to know their equipment, an essential step in building confidence and control on the slopes. Throughout the course, young skiers will learn parallel skiing, refine their technique, and improve their ability to navigate more challenging terrain and steeper slopes. These skills are crucial for developing agility and precision, enabling children to safely tackle more demanding runs. By the end of the course, participants will have built a solid foundation in skiing and will be ready for new adventures with increased confidence and ability.
The Kids World (300 m²) at mountain station II is our ski school’s own children’s restaurant. Here, we offer excellent lunchtime supervision in a child-friendly environment. Children can eat, play, and recharge before continuing with their afternoon lessons. With various play areas, children’s toilets, and a kids’ cinema, your children are well taken care of during the lunch break.
The highlight of the week is the children’s ski race on Thursday, where every participant receives a certificate and a medal – a wonderful reminder of the progress they have made.
