This introductory ski course for children aged 3 to 6 is perfect if your child wants to try skiing without committing to a full ski course. The lessons take place in a specially designed children's area in the Grächen ski resort, a charming place known for its family-friendly atmosphere and excellent facilities. Surrounded by picturesque mountains, the resort offers a safe and fun environment where young skiers can feel at ease.
The introductory course includes two hours of play, fun, sport, and action on slopes specially tailored for beginners or children who have rarely been on skis. Children are introduced to the basics of skiing in a playful and child-friendly way, ensuring they feel comfortable and enjoy every moment. They also get to know their equipment under the guidance of experienced ski instructors and the popular mascot Snowli. The small group sizes of maximum 4-6 participants ensure safe learning and individual attention by our instructors.
On the first day, we meet 15 minutes before the start of the lesson.
A lift ticket is necessary to reach the meeting point. Please be aware that you need a ski pass to take your kid to the meeting point. For people who accompany their children to lessons, the cable cars offer single rides.
You need to bring your own equipment.
The ski pass is free for children under 6 years old but needs to be collected at the ski lift ticket office before the first lesson.
The lessons require a minimum of 4 participants to take place. If this number is not reached, the following alternative will be offered: If there are fewer than 4 children per group/level, the ski school reserves the right to organise lessons at half the lesson time of 1 hour (but at the same price) or to combine groups/levels.
Booking confirmation
The maximum group size is 6 participants per group.
My daughter is very shy, but after some initial difficulties, it worked out. It's also lovely to see how playfully the course is structured.
You should wear warm clothing suitable for winter sports. Other accessories such as gloves, a ski mask and sunglasses are strongly recommended.
You must arrive at the first lesson with your equipment (skis and poles or snowboard, and boots). If you do not have your own equipment, make sure to allow enough time to collect it from the rental shop so as not to delay the start of the lesson. Some shops even offer the option of collecting equipment the day before your first day of hire.
Wearing a helmet is compulsory for children in some countries, but it is strongly recommended for everyone, regardless of age.
Unless otherwise stated, you must have your ski pass with you for the first lesson. You can usually buy one at the ski lift office or online. Discounted rates may be available for children or beginners, so check with your ski school to find out which pass is most suitable.
Generally, it is advisable to book lessons as early as possible. This is especially important during school holidays, such as Christmas and February, when lessons can fill up quickly.
