Here at Lech Ski School we have a special place in our hearts for our youngest skiers. In our exclusive Kinderland children aged from 4½ are cared for in a safe and entertaining environment where they will develop a desire to ski and enjoy the snow. Special learning aids and children’s programmes help mini-skiers and newbies to learn to ski here.

Advanced children will conquer the pistes of the Arlberg with our carefully chosen children’s instructors. Learning the rules of proper piste etiquette while perfecting their technique along the way. Children’s natural enjoyment of snow, speed and movement makes winter sports the ideal hobby. At Lech Ski School we will do everything in our power to ensure that skiing becomes an experience your child will treasure forever.

GROUP COURSE

Children learn best in groups where they can motivate each other. Under our motto, “Teamwork makes it easier” the kids will join forces and learn together. There is no question that skiing and playing in the snow is far more fun in a group!

This is why our instructors take the best care of our youngest skiers from Sunday through till Friday from 10 a.m. till 3 p.m. We offer our lunch tokens to ensure a stress free and fun lunch together with the whole group.

In our group courses individual attention is payed to each child's abilities. Playful techniques and programmes designed specifically for children ensure rapid progress. The top priority is always having fun together and staying safe, while along the way forming great friendships!

There is something magical in the air at the exclusive Kinderland at Lech Ski School. An enchanted forest, magic carpets that move by themselves and wave tracks and jumps conjured up by fairies. Fun, speed and adventure are on the agenda here for children aged 4 ½ to 13.

You don’t need a magic wand to enjoy the full package of fun in Kinderland at Lech Ski School! Children learning to ski here feel like real racers. Beginners are introduced to the snow and skiing in a playful atmosphere. While “pros” can practice slalom or freestyle skiing with speed and passion in our Funpark. Younger skiers are supervised by our Kids’ Club. The magic words at Kinderland are quite simple: fun, fun and more FUN!

KID FRIENDLY LUNCH BREAK:

Mmmm … that tastes good!

Everyone knows skiing works up an appetite. Even as the day is beginning the kids are already looking forward to picking something tasty from the Kid's Menu. Using their own tokens to pay for lunch is not only fun, but also child appropriate and safe. Tokens can be purchased at the Lech Ski School office along with instructions if needed. A child can pay for one lunch (1 meal & 1 beverage) at the ski school’s partner restaurants to a value of €16.

The instructors simply collect the tokens after the meal so that the lunch break runs smoothly without unnecessary waiting time. Children then 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..
