How long does it take my child to learn to ski?
From about age 3, starting to ski makes sense – as long as your child is keen. As a rough guide, here's how long children take to master a safe snowplough stop:
to a safe stop: 3 to 5 days
First experiences with skis and snow, practising balance, turning the feet – step by step to a safe stop.
to a safe stop: 3 to 4 days
Stopping and turning on very gentle practice slopes. By the end of the week, usually runs on easy blue slopes.
to a safe stop: about 2 days
The ideal age to learn: stopping is often mastered after 1–2 lesson days, and by the end of the week children make safe turns at a controlled speed.
to a safe stop: about 1 day
Many children can stop safely after the very first lesson day.

Parents' FAQ
FAQ about kids' ski lessons
Why does my child start in Green when they can already turn?
Light Blue groups no longer ski in the Kids' Land but on easy blue slopes served by the chairlift. Children who have never ridden a chairlift or have only just learned to turn consolidate this in Green. That way no child has to go back from the slope to the Kids' Land – and we can move them up at any time.
My child is under 6 and already skis well – which group?
Children under 6 first start in Light Blue with us. If your child really skis better, we note it: they gain a day of confidence and then move to Dark Blue.
Should I give my child something to eat or drink?
A snack bar, energy bar or glucose tablets in a jacket pocket are fine. Please don't send large backpacks, though. Water is available everywhere – we always have water for the kids in the Kids' Land too. 2.5 hours of skiing is tiring: in warm weather we take a short drink and toilet break.
When do I need to buy the lift pass?
Before the lesson! Please get the lift pass before you bring your child to the meeting point. Anyone queuing at the ticket office on the first morning often misses the group allocation. No lift pass is needed on the magic carpet in the Kids' Land.
Is Snowstars also suitable for older and advanced children?
Yes. Junior Stars (4–13 years) comes in five levels up to Masterclass, with race carving, slalom, moguls, powder and the fun park; every Thursday, on the final day, there's a race with prize-giving. From age 14 there are the Teen Stars.
From what age can my child take ski lessons?
With Rising Stars from age 2. The little ones learn through play, starting on plastic learner skis on flat ground, later with proper equipment. From age 4 they move on to Junior Stars.
