Ski holidays with kids on the Turracher Höhe

Why the Turracher Höhe suits families so well

The Turracher Höhe is a high plateau in the Nockberge at 1,763 metres above sea level. Thanks to its altitude it's considered very snow-sure. The ski area is compact, distances are short and most slopes are easy to intermediate. That's exactly what makes it so relaxed for families: parents keep an overview and kids quickly gain confidence.

Where do children learn to ski best?

Beginners start with us in the Kids' Land at the Snowstars area right by the Kornockbahn: a modern kids' area with magic carpet, carousel and figures. Advanced groups explore the whole ski area, often including the fun slope. With our colour system from Green to Black, every child joins the right group – with no more than 8 children.

What a ski week can look like

• Sunday: Junior Stars beginners start; meet at the meeting point 15 minutes before the start.
• Monday to Wednesday: ski lessons in the morning or all day; afternoons free for the family.
• Thursday: final day with a ski race, prize-giving with our mascot Pauly and the Skills Pass – be sure to come and cheer!
• Friday: no lessons for the Junior Stars – ideal for a family day on the slopes or a ride on the Nocky Flitzer.
• Rising Stars: the youngest ski Sunday to Friday in the afternoon from 1:30 to 3:00 pm.

Off the slopes

Even when legs are tired, the Turracher Höhe never gets boring: the Nocky Flitzer alpine coaster, sledging, ice skating on the Turracher See and winter walks are on many families' list. You'll find current times and offers from the Turracher Höhe tourist board.

Getting here and getting around

The Turracher Höhe is on the B95 road. Once you're here, the Snowstars shuttle picks you up free of charge at your accommodation in the morning – register by 6:00 pm the day before. The easiest place to rent skis and boots is Frühsports, right next to our meeting point.
