Skiing with Kids

50 Years of Practice

First time on a skiing holiday with your kids? Don't worry – we have over 50 years of experience teaching kids how to ski, and we're happy to share our tips.

Equipment

Kids can get cold easily, especially in their hands and feet. It’s a good idea to put on ski boots a little before heading out. All kids must wear a helmet. A beanie is usually not necessary, but on very cold days, a thin cap under the helmet is recommended.

Skis, boots, and other equipment are available to rent.

When can they start?

Three years is a great age to introduce kids to snow and skiing gear – in a fun and playful way!

Some kids pick it up quickly, while others need a bit more time to practice. It can help if they’ve tried ice skating or other activities that develop balance and body control.

How do the children learn?

Number one – be patient and have fun! Our kids’ areas are designed for learning. Practice finding the “brake,” putting the skis together in a plough, or something more fun – like making an ice cream cone! Let the child try to brake and stop on their own.

Our ski school offers a playful way to learn and a quick path to picking up skiing skills.

Ski school

Our ski school is organised by age and skill level. It’s important that kids get a good start by being placed in the right group. Take care to assess your child’s skill level when choosing a group to avoid having to transfer later.

If you’re unsure which group is best, don’t hesitate to email or call us.
