Details
In our kids ski lessons for beginners on the Patscherkofel, the little ones from the age of 4 playfully learn the basics of alpine skiing in small groups of 4 to 8 kids. Our team of children's ski instructors pays special attention to age-appropriate teaching in order to focus on fun and enjoyment, so that skiing becomes an unforgettable experience.
In our Kids' Land on Innsbruck's local mountain, which is equipped with a magic carpet, funny figures and gate runs, it is immediately much easier for the little ski stars to learn plough turns and to do their first slalom. Our mascot Bärnhard supports the kids and applauds their successes. The playful approach combined with an adapted course programme and ideal practice terrain helps to achieve the greatest possible learning success. The highlight of the week is the moderated final race, where every participant receives a medal and a certificate.
The course price includes a warm drink for the short break - please bring your own snack in your jacket pocket (no backpacks!). This course can also be shortened to two or three days, but participation on the first day is obligatory. If there are less than 4 participants, the daily class time can be reduced.
Meeting time
We meet 10 minutes before the start of the lessons.
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.
Families with young children consistently praise this kids' ski course, with over 80% of reviewers giving it a five-star rating. The instructors are frequently described as "super friendly," patient, and highly experienced, creating a fun and safe environment.

This focus on child-friendly instruction ensures a positive and encouraging experience, making it an excellent choice for a family ski trip.
