Kids' ski lessons half-day or full-day – which suits your child?
Two and a half hours in the morning or a whole ski day with lunch in the group? The answer depends on your child's age and stamina and on your own plans. Here's the comparison – with what we've learned.

When is half-day the better choice?
- For younger children: for 4- and 5-year-olds, two and a half focused hours are often just right. After that many are tired – and enjoy the afternoon with the family.
- On a first ski holiday: beginners learn most in the morning. A tired child hardly learns anything more in the afternoon.
- If you want to spend the afternoon together: ski together, go sledging or simply rest.
When is the full-day course worth it?
- If you want to ski yourself: your child is well looked after from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm, including lunch with the group.
- For older children with stamina: kids with lots of energy make big progress again in the afternoon.
- When the group is part of the fun: lunch with their ski friends is a highlight for many children.
And for the youngest?
For children aged 2 to 3 there are the Rising Stars: an hour and a half in the afternoon (1:30–3:00 pm) with only 4 children per instructor. Any longer would be too much at this age.
