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 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.
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). The reception is on the right-hand side just past the entrance.
If you have booked including equipment, please have your booking confirmation to hand and present it at the counter 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.
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 office 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.
