Tips for Kids & Parents

• Children know ...
  will remember the name of my instructor!
  I always carry the address of my holiday accommodation with me!
  If I lose my ski class, I will go to the ski school hut at the middle station or to the Kinderland at the bottom station!
  I never forget my gloves, sun cream, sunglasses and bonnet!
  I always want to be safe and therefore always wear a helmet!
  The ski school pass confirms the name and address, capability and group name of the owner.
• Will time problems arise if both parents and children ski in a ski course?
  No problem! Our instructors are already at the arranged meeting point 10 minutes before the course is due to start! Furthermore, the children’s ski course starts 5 minutes earlier than the ski courses for adults! Parents thus have 15 minutes between bringing their children to their meeting point and getting to their own meeting point! There is even enough time to find the correct skis for you too!
• Is a helmet obligatory for children?
  The risk that children will get hurt is rather minimal. However, when using the lifts or other equipment, in collisions or even if your child is lying on the ground, the head is very vulnerable. This is the reason why we recommend children to wear helmets.
• When can my child start in the ski school?
  Children can start learning to ski at 3.
• Do children need ski poles?
  Beginners need no ski poles. They will be needed for Group 2 (K2 Snowplough curve - Taking lifts) onwards.
• Do children need a ski pass?
  Discounts for children (ID necessary)
  A discount is only available upon the presentation of a family pass or of a separate ID of the children and of the parents. The complete price for children has to be paid if the document(s) is (are) not presented.
  * Children born in and after the year 2000 travel for free.
  * Children born between 1999 and 1997 inclusive receive the "Bambini Free Pass" which allows them to travel for free when a parent purchases a lift pass. ID will be required upon purchase of the ski pass.
  * discount prices for children born between 1996 and 1990 inclusive (or for children born in or before 1999 when no parent purchases a lift pass)
• Clothing and protection
  Children should always wear the appropriate clothing with regard to the weather conditions, and they should always wear sunglasses (ski glasses) and sun cream. Two-piece ski suits with highly-cut trousers are ideal for small children. This means that when it is warmer, the children can take off their jacket or a jumper etc. to play.
• Start and finish meeting points
  We ask both parents and children to be informed about the start and finish meeting points. If it happens that a child should lose itself, the meeting point will be at the ski school hut in the Kinderberg Park, situated at the middle station.
• Having fun is our motto
  Our goal is to teach children how to ski and have fun whilst learning.
• Events
  * A children's party with a music and an entertainment programme will take place every Thursday at the children's playground.
  * Weekly end of ski course race with prizes
