Main information
What to expect
Your youngsters are ready now to start a lifelong skiing adventure! Small but nice, located in Upper Bavaria, the Westernberg ski area is the perfect spot for doing so. Our kids ski lessons for beginners from 6 to 15 years in Ruhpolding address every little skier without experience who is ready for the snow fun. Accompanied by our mascot, the penguin Bobo, nothing will stop them from skiing down the slopes at the end of the week.
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 start with the very basics of skiing, such as safely taking the ski lift, skiing in plough and schuss, as well as braking. Throughout the learning process, they will be accompanied by Bobo.
