At our assembly point at the top station of the Ehrwalder Almbahn, opposite the Tirolerhaus.
Germany's highest summit, Zugspitze, explored from the Austrian side - our kids' ski lessons for first timers in Ehrwald make it possible. A lot of fun and action awaits children aged 5–13 years. Not only they will learn a winter sport or improve their techniques, but also they will build social competence surrounded by peers of the same age.
Our highly trained ski instructors make sure that all children feel comfortable and enjoy exciting days. Beginners start with basics, such as brake plough and schussing on blue slopes.
The highlight of the course is, of course, the kids' ski race that takes place every Friday. This is the perfect opportunity for the little ones to show what they have learned throughout the week. In the evening, we will host a prize-giving ceremony, where the little skiers will be rewarded for their achievements. Another highlight is the GoPro day on Wednesday, where the ski instructor will film the lesson.
On the first day, we will meet 30 minutes before the course starts at the meeting place of the ski school at the top station of the Ehrwald Almbahn, opposite the Tirolerhaus. It is not reachable by car; you have to take the lift from the bottom station of the Ehrwalder Almbahn.
Your children can be cared for by the instructors during lunchbreak (meals and lunch care). You can book it directly on site.
All skiers need a ski pass from the first day of the lessons. You can buy your ski pass before the first lesson at the ski lift ticket office or online. The ski pass is free for children under 6 years old.

Super fun ski instructors! Going to lessons was a real treat for the children!
Ski instructors engage the children and carefully consider their level and age. The children are divided into small groups based on age, which helps them connect immediately and enjoy skiing. Within just a few hours, the children made significant progress.
Our 5- and 7-year-olds had to arrive a bit early on the first day for a pre-ski session, after which they were grouped based on their skill level. They were placed in a class with excellent young Dutch ski instructors who taught them a lot and made it fun. They are very punctual about their schedules, so be sure to be on time. The two-hour breaks may seem long, but they're a nice way to have a quiet meal, relax, or hit the slopes with your children. There are competitions on Fridays, and the instructors encourage that.
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.
The meeting point is at the top station of the Ehrwalder Almbahn lift, opposite the Tirolerhaus. It is not reachable by car, so you will need to take the lift up the mountain.
Lunch care, including meals, is available for the children and is supervised by the instructors. You can book this service directly on site.
Yes, on Wednesday the instructor films the lesson with a GoPro, and every Friday there is a kids' ski race followed by a prize-giving ceremony in the evening.
The children are placed in small groups according to their age and ability. On the first day, there may be a short introductory ski session to assess their level.
