Main information
What to expect
Small but nice, located in Upper Bavaria, the Westernberg ski area is the ideal spot for your youngsters who would like to get in touch with skiing. Our kids ski lessons for beginners from 4 to 5 years in Ruhpolding address the youngest amongst future ski stars and will bring out your children's potential. Accompanied by our mascot, the penguin Bobo, nothing will stop them from skiing down the slopes at the end of the lessons.
At the beginning of the course, our well-trained ski instructors will divide the little skiers into small groups in order to ensure safety and big progress. During the lessons, a playful and fun approach is important to us, which is why we include exercises from the "Beweg-dich-schlau" program by Felix Neureuther, a German alpine ski racer. This program includes exercises that train the body and brain simultaneously and that have brought him to the top of German skiing sport. Your kids will do their first steps on the snow, make turns in the plough, and take the ski lift. At the end of the course, the youngsters will easily master simple descents and moguls.
Race and rewards
All children receive a medal at the end of the course.
All participants receive a diploma at the end of the course.
A race takes place on the last day of the lessons, followed by an award ceremony. With real race numbers and electronic time recording, your children will feel like big ski stars.
