We have a special place in our hearts for the youngest of our skiers. In our exclusive Kinderland at Lech Ski School, children aged 4½ and above are cared for in a safe and entertaining practice area. The desire to ski and enjoy snow develops naturally. Special learning aids and children’s programmes help mini-skiers and newbies to learn to ski here.

Lech Ski School’s Kinderland is an exclusive area reserved only for those taking courses with us. With teaching methods that are sensible and at the same time enjoyable, skiing becomes child’s play here. Each child is seen as an individual and receives special attention. Our ski instructors will pull out all the stops and draw on deep reserves of empathy and sensitivity to make sure your child is happy and comfortable at Kinderland.

Mastery of the necessary techniques is a must for those who want to get the full enjoyment out of the sport. Our children’s courses include an appropriate instructional programme for every level of ability – from the first movements on the piste on to faster runs for more experienced kids. As soon as the pistes can be travelled safely, our children’s groups head out to explore the resort while perfecting their skills with training programmes designed for that purpose.

Naturally, our children’s programmes are not limited to ski instruction. Over the lunch break, the children get the best of care during a lunch shared with the ski instructors. The full-day care includes boundless fun and entertainment for your child, and complete independence for you.

GROUP COURSE

Children learn from one another and motivate each other. Under the motto, “Teamwork makes it easier” the group joins forces to learn together. And there is no question but that skiing and romping about in the snow is far more fun in a group!

In our group courses, attention is paid to the individual abilities of each child. Playful techniques and programmes specifically for children ensure rapid progress. The top priorities are always having fun together and staying safe. And along the way, great friendships are formed!

KID-FRIENDLY LUNCH BREAK:

Mmmm … that’s good!

Skiing works up an appetite! Even as the day begins, the kids are already looking forward to their shared lunch from the tasty Kids’ Menu. Using their own tokens to pay for lunch is not only fun, it is also child-appropriate and safe. Tokens for lunches can be purchased in Lech Ski School along with the ticket for instruction if desired. The child can pay for one lunch (1 meal + 1 beverage)* at the ski school’s partner restaurants with a token worth EUR 13.00.

The ski instructors simply collect the tokens after the meal, so that the lunch break runs smoothly without unnecessary wait times. Children return to the pistes relaxed and with their energy replenished.

 

Lost tokens cannot be replaced. No cash refunds are issued for unused tokens.

* The content of the Kids’ Menu is determined by the restaurants in question..

The parent/guardian acknowledges that the children are supervised by trained ski instructors who take utmost care to avoid accidents or injuries while teaching the children how to ski. However, absolute safety cannot be guaranteed. We therefore explicitly point out that participation is at one’s own risk and that the instructors assume liability only for damages or injuries caused intentionally or caused by gross negligence. Lech Ski School reserves the right to exclude from further participation any children whose behaviour repeatedly disrupts the service provided, with no reimbursement of the participation fee.
