We meet 1 hour before the course starts at our ski school next to the Ettelsberg cable car (Zur Hoppecke 5, 34508 Willingen).
Our children’s ski course in Willingen is aimed at all youngsters aged 4 to 10 who are skiing for the first time or have very little experience. The children are divided into suitable groups according to their ability.
We usually take the children to the Kinderland. If some participants are already more advanced, we reserve the right to move to the Dorfwiese. You’ll need a ticket (€5) for the Kinderland, which you can buy directly from us at the ski school. Please purchase your ticket for the Dorfwiese at the lift ticket office on site.
During the course, the children learn how to brake safely and make their first turns. Ski poles are not required for this course. With our qualified ski instructors, the little ones make rapid progress and have lots of fun – right in front of the Ettelsberg cable car.
If you already have your equipment and lift pass, please report to the ski school reception 15 minutes before the course starts.
If you haven’t collected your equipment yet, please arrive one hour before the course starts – we strongly recommend this, particularly during the school holidays.
To ensure check-in goes as smoothly as possible, please bring a printed copy of your booking confirmation with you when you arrive.
We meet at our office (Zur Hoppecke 5, D - 34508 Willingen) The ski school reception is on the right-hand side just past the entrance.
If you have booked including equipment, please have your booking confirmation ready and present it at the reception of our ski school (Zur Hoppecke 5, D - 34508 Willingen). There, the ski school manager will give you a collection slip with a barcode. With this slip, you can collect your equipment directly from the hire shop without having to queue at the till again – saving you time and a detour. Please collect your equipment in good time: either the day before or at the latest one hour before your course starts. Our opening hours are Monday to Sunday from 8 am to 5 pm. On days when floodlit skiing is available, the hire shop even stays open until 10 pm.
An entrance fee of €5 needs to be paid on site to access the Kinderland. A ski pass is not necessary.
Please come to the ski school before the course starts for registration and show your checkyeti booking code. At the office you will receive a paper to pick up the equipment.
Based on over 40 detailed reviews, these beginner ski lessons for kids are highly praised, with a vast majority of families rating them five stars. Reviewers consistently highlight the patient, friendly, and “incredibly empathetic” instructors who help children make remarkable learning progress, often skiing independently after just two days. The main drawback mentioned is organizational chaos and large groups during peak times, such as Carnival weekend, which can reduce instruction time. Despite this, the focus on fun and safety makes children feel comfortable, and the overall experience is described as fantastic, leaving kids thrilled and proud of their new skills.
