Bring your little explorers to Willingen for a snowy adventure they’ll never forget! Our kids ski lessons Kinderland are designed specifically for children aged 4 and 5 to discover the joy of skiing with other kids their age. Your child will love gliding on our "magic carpet" lift and spinning on the ski carousel, making their first time on skis fun, safe and sociable.
Our friendly team makes sure every child feels right at home, by using a kids-friendly approach and exercises to learn the basics of skiing. We keep our groups very small so that every little skier gets plenty of high-fives and encouragement as they find their balance. Our goal is to make sure your little one finishes the day with a giant smile and a newfound love for the snow, building the foundation for their skiing journey.
We meet at our office situated at the ski lift Ritzhagen, 30 minutes before the start of the lesson.
If you book including equipment, you can conveniently pick it up at Am Hoppern 2b, 34508 Willingen, at our ski school office. Please come and pick up your equipment at least 1 hour before the start of the lessons or the day before the lessons between 15:00 and 16:00.
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.
If your children are first timers, please check in advance with the ski school which ticket they need.
