Important notice

Between 11:45 and 13:00, kids enjoy a tasty lunch with full supervision of the ski instructor.

Our advanced groups (Maxis, Kids, Juniors, Super Juniors) move around the Zillertal Arena and eat at a different restaurant each day. Make sure to check with the ski instructor in the morning to find out today’s lunch spot!

We group the children based on skiing ability, age, and language.
If your child would like to ski with friends or siblings and their skill levels are similar, just let us know at the meeting point on the first day – we’ll do our best to make it happen!
There’s no need to mention this when booking online.

If the children have different skill levels but still want to stay together, they will be placed according to the ability of the less experienced child – and the stronger skier will need to adjust.

  • Most kids join the full-day course (4 hours).
  • There is no separate group division for half-day and full-day courses.
  • If the skill level no longer matches, children in half-day lessons may need to switch groups.
  • Children in 2-hour courses must be picked up during the lunch break – depending on their skiing ability, this may take place farther away in the Zillertal Arena. Please ask the ski instructor daily where and when lunch is planned.
  • Snowboard Try Out

    FRIDAY = SNOWBOARD DAY!

    After completing a 3-day ski course, children can join a one-day snowboarding session on Friday for just € 60,- (excl. lunch). Perfect for curious beginners – and maybe the start of a love for snowboarding!

10 Tips

10 TIPS FOR SKIING WITH KIDS!

  1. Explain to your little ones how the ski lesson works – you’ll drop them off in the morning, they’ll practise on their own, and at the end of the week, they’ll show you what they’ve learned!
  2. Keep drop-off quick and cheerful – it helps the kids say goodbye with a smile!
  3. Good ski equipment – Get good, modern ski gear to make learning much easier!
  4. Make sure your kids are well rested. If you arrive late, it’s advisable to start ski lessons at midday or the following day.
  5. Helmets are a must – make sure to rent or buy one!
  6. It’s best for kids to stay with their group and eat lunch together – that keeps things relaxed. For advanced groups, lunch supervision takes place in various restaurants in the Zillertal Arena.
  7. Booking online guarantees your spot in the course.
  8. Get all the important details like meeting point, lift pass, group assignments, ski races, and events at the ski school office.
  9. For 2-year-olds, there’s a 50-minute mini carving session (max. 2 kids per instructor, bookable only on site). For 3-year-olds, we recommend a 2-hour ski course. Both can be combined with kindergarten care.
  10. Pay attention to the weather and clothing: use high UV-factor sunscreen and sunglasses when it’s sunny; wear warm, waterproof clothing in cold weather (scarf, helmet, hat, ski suit, gloves, thermal underwear).
