We meet 1 hour before the course starts at our ski school next to the Ettelsberg cable car (Zur Hoppecke 5, 34508 Willingen).
Our youth ski course in Willingen is just the thing for anyone aged between 11 and 16 who has never been on skis before or has very little experience.
The course takes place on the Dorfwiese. Therefore, every participant must have a valid lift pass before the course begins – this is not included in the course fee and must be purchased independently at the lift ticket office.
On the course, you’ll learn how to brake safely and make your first turns. With our ski instructors, you’ll make rapid progress and have loads of fun.
If you already have your equipment and lift pass, please report to the ski school 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.
Please bring a printed copy of your booking confirmation with you when you arrive.
We’ll meet at our ski school (Zur Hoppecke 5, 34508 Willingen, right next to the Ettelsberg cable car).
Save time with self-check-in! You can check in directly at one of the self-service terminals to the left of the office entrance or via the QR code available on site. Simply enter your name and confirm your booking using the last 5 digits of the phone number used for the booking. You can then view your course and print your equipment pick-up voucher. There’s no need to visit the ski school reception first, so you can save time and get started faster. With this slip, you can collect your equipment directly from the hire shop. 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.
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 or online before the first lesson. Kids with lessons in kinderland have to pay an entrance fee of €5 on site.
The 2-hour and 1-day ski passes can also be purchased at the school to avoid waiting times at the lift
Please come to the ski school before the course starts for registration and show your CheckYeti booking code. At the check-in terminals you will receive a paper to pick up the equipment.

Over 70% of reviewers give these beginner ski lessons five stars, praising the "super friendly" and professional instructors. Families and kids especially appreciate the fun environment and rapid learning progress, with many beginners able to ski independently after just a few hours. While some mention long waits or confusion with group placements during busy times, and a few instructors had limited English, the overall experience is highly positive. The school is commended for its effective teaching that helps new skiers build confidence quickly.

The course was very good; all three of us felt comfortable with the ski instructors and learned something. The wait beforehand was very long. We had all our own equipment, so arriving an hour before the lesson started was completely unnecessary.
Super friendly staff, whether at the rental shop or the ski instructors themselves! We'll definitely be back next year :-)
Best way to give and get first experience.
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.
