Details
Our kids ski lessons for first timers in Obergurgl allow children to learn the basics of skiing in a safe, educational and fun way. These lessons are perfect for first-time skiers and beginners between the ages of 4 and 16 who are excited to explore the mountains of Tyrol under the guidance of our experienced instructors.
Together with kids of their age and ability, our students will dive into the sport of skiing. These groups settings allow for quick progress in an age-appropriate setting. Our instructors focus on making leaning fun, so children do not only improve their skills, but also have the time of their lives. We have two beginner areas located at Wiesental and Hochfirst.
All children who partake in these courses are welcome to join the highlight of the week: our ski race on Thursday! The race ends with a small ceremony where each child receives a metal as a reminder of their great time in Obergurgl. Parents are encouraged to watch to see how much progress their children have made. Our mascot, BOBO the penguin, loves attending the race too and cheers on the children as they swoosh down the mountain.
Meeting Time
We meet 15 minutes before the start of the lessons at our meeting point Grünerhof. Parents do not need a lift ticket to access the meeting points.
The beginner's areas are located near the meeting points Wiesental and Hochfirst.
Lunch break
You can pick up your children at the start of the lunch break at 12:00 at the meeting point.
Alternatively your children can be cared for by the school during lunch, for a surcharge of 28€. This service is only bookable on site.
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 before the first lesson.
