What to Expect
Our ski lessons for children aged 7 to 16 in Alpendorf combine small groups, certified ski instructors, and plenty of fun to help every participant improve their skiing skills. Nestled in the heart of the stunning Alpendorf ski area in St. Johann im Pongau, the resort offers a picturesque setting with a variety of slopes suitable for all skill levels. Right next to the slope, you will find modern facilities that make your day on the snow all the more enjoyable.
After a warm welcome and group allocation, the lesson begins with a joint warm-up, ensuring that everyone is ready and eager to start. The focus is on introducing the children to the fundamental techniques of skiing. With the guidance of our certified children’s ski instructors, participants will learn the basics such as stopping, turning, and managing their speed on gentle slopes. These skills are essential for building confidence and laying the groundwork for more advanced skiing.
Throughout the 3.5 hour lesson,groups of up to 6 participants ensure a personalised approach, allowing instructors to give individual attention to each child. As the course progresses, children will practice on a variety of slopes, possibly including some lift rides to experience different terrains. The grand finale of the course is an organised speed race on the last day, where every participant receives a medal, providing a memorable end to their skiing adventure. We take time for you, ensuring that from consultation to course completion, we support each participant individually.
