Details
In our kids ski lessons in Bad Hofgastein, we love helping first timers between the ages of 6 and 12 reach their full skiing potential. Although we focus on learning, we know children learn fastest when having fun, which is why we have designed our programme to fit their needs. With a playful approach we encourage "learning by doing."
"Gasti's Schneeland" makes learning even easier, providing the optimal environment for children. The fun park, slalom and wave track are exciting for those who can already ski, whereas ropes and tubes are great learning tools for those just starting. In Gasti's Adventure land, your children can also discover their inner adventurers whilst finding their way through the maze or on top of the snow castle.
From getting to know their equipment, to the famous plough position, all the basics for a bright skiing future are covered in these beginner lessons. After learning how to glide and stop safely, children will try easy mountain slopes for the first time. Along with having fun, safety is one of our main priorities. Aside from the necessary skills, we also teach your children FIS Piste Rules and how to react in case of emergencies. Under the watchful eyes of our instructors especially trained to teach children, your little ones are under the best care possible.
Lunch care
Our ski instructors will be happy to look after your children during the lunch break. A lunch is not included in the price of the lessons and must be booked at our ski school office before the first lesson for € 18 per day. Please note that it is obligatory to book lunch care for all full day kids courses.
Meeting point
We meet 45 minutes before the start at the ski school office in Bad Hofgastein (at the valley station Neue Schlossalm) or 15 minutes before at the "Skizentrum Angertal".
Important information
On the 1st of January, the lessons start at 11 am.
Ski pass
All skiers need a ski pass from the first day of the lessons. You can buy your ski pass at the ski lift ticket office or online before the first lesson.
