NLChildren’s ski course in Gastein from 4 to 11 years old
Much more than just skiing!
Children from the age of 4 experience a fun and varied program in the different performance and age categories and learn to ski along the way. With a lot of empathy and special teaching aids, the kids are introduced to skiing by our pedagogically trained children’s ski instructors and, depending on their ability, are professionally and individually coached in style and technique. Small groups guarantee maximum safety and optimal learning conditions. In the Gasti snow park, which is both a learning area and a playground, the piste fleas make their first turns and are introduced to skiing in a playful way.
Your children are guaranteed to feel at ease in the care of our experienced and highly trained children’s ski instructors and so the time at our children’s ski course in Gastein will fly by! Even advanced ski aces will get their money’s worth and can look forward to fast-paced descents and a great technical program. Adapted learning goals, teaching methods and intensity as well as safety are top priority in our children’s ski school in Dorfgastein.

The family discount is only valid for all-day courses and cannot be combined with our early booking discount. For our Family Bonus we recommend booking with invoice or contacting us by mail or phone.
Taster day
You are not sure whether and how long your children would like to attend a ski course? Then book a taster day (= 1 day or 1 half day) and try it out! The price of our taster card will of course be credited when you extend the course.
All-day care: 10.00 am – 3.30 pm
Of course we will also look after your children during the lunch break (12.00 – 1.00) and after the end of the course (3.00 – 3.30) until you arrive at the meeting point. In our dining and playroom at the middle station and our ski kindergarten at the valley station, a delicious children’s menu is ready for the hungry ski stars. And throughout the week, a varied animation program ensures lots of fun and action.
Ski pass
The ski pass is not included in the course price. Lift tickets are available in our online shop or can be purchased directly on site at our ski school office or at the lift ticket counters next door. Beginners and slightly advanced children can use the 3 magic carpets and the ski carousel in our ski school’s own children’s area free of charge to learn the basic technique. Children need a lift pass as soon as they can turn and brake and use a ski lift. Children up to their 6th birthday can use all lift facilities with the free Mini Card. Children from the age of 6 need a regular lift ticket for the Dorfgastein-Großarltal ski area.
Ski rental
The ski equipment is not included in the course price! Make sure you have the right ski length (beginners max chest height) and good boot material. Warm clothing, gloves, ski or sunglasses, balaclava, helmet and sunscreen are also part of an optimal equipment. Children up to the age of 15 are required by law to wear a ski helmet. Ski poles are not required for beginners. The appropriate ski equipment can be rented from our rental partner Sport Knauseder.
Final race
The big ski race will take place on Thursday. The race takes only about 15 minutes per group. Therefore we would recommend you to book the children’s ski course up to and including Thursday. There is a schedule for the race. The ski instructors will inform you about the start time in the morning before the race.
Award ceremony
The award ceremony and prize giving will take place on Thursday after the ski course within the group.
Top equipped!
Nothing is as important to us as the health of your children, so we offer a free rental of ski helmets and safety vests for all course participants in our ski school office.
Gasti snow park for children
In our ski school’s own children’s area at the valley station of the gondola lift your children will learn skiing with a lot of fun and variety. The kids park is located right next to our ski school office, ski kindergarten & meeting point.
With the 3 magic carpets and the ski carousel, children playfully learn the first turns in our practice area. Right next to our Gasti snow park is the public practice area with platter lift & kids fun slope.
