At the top station of the Gernkogelbahn – 6-seater chairlift to Kreistenalm (Ober-Alpendorf 112, 5600 St. Johann im Pongau)
Our children's ski lessons are designed specifically for kids aged 4 to 6, focusing on introducing them to the joys of skiing in a fun and supportive environment. The ski area offers a perfect location, right next to the slope, making it convenient and safe for little ones. With its gentle slopes and beautiful alpine scenery, this resort provides an ideal backdrop for learning.
The lesson begins with a warm welcome and group allocation, ensuring each child is placed with peers of similar ability. Following a joint warm-up, the kids will enjoy 2 hours of engaging and varied lessons. Our highly trained instructors provide personal support throughout, teaching essential skills like balance, snowplow turns, and basic stopping techniques. These skills are crucial for building confidence and ensuring safety on the slopes. With a maximum of 6 children per group, our instructors offer individual attention to each child, fostering a nurturing learning environment.
On the last day, the children participate in an exciting speed race, where every child receives a medal, creating a memorable and proud moment for all. Our multilingual team speaks German, English, Dutch, and Danish, ensuring effective communication with children from various backgrounds. The small group size, in combination with the experienced instructors and beautiful location, makes our lessons a unique and enjoyable experience for young skiers.
