At what age can a child start learning to ski?
The answer is clear: between 3 and 5 years is the ideal time for the first turns.
Many parents ask themselves this question as soon as the first snow falls: when is the right time for the first turns on the slope? At KIDS ON SKI the answer is clear, because the program was developed precisely for this early phase.
The ideal time
KIDS ON SKI is aimed at children aged 3 to 5. This is the ideal time for the first contact with the snow. If you start at this age, you do not need any prior experience, because the program is made for absolute beginners.
Why the age of 3 to 5 fits
- Children aged 3 to 5, the ideal time for the first contact with the snow
- Absolute beginners without prior experience are exactly right
- Learning through play at their own pace, without pressure
- Small groups, so that every child is looked after individually
At this age it is especially easy for children to pick up movements intuitively. Balance and body awareness develop early, which makes the first turns on skis a natural next step.

“Start early, learn through play”
The earlier children come into contact with skiing, the more natural the movement becomes for them. We deliberately focus on the age of 3 to 5, because this is where curiosity is greatest and fear is smallest.Mike Partel, initiator of KIDS ON SKI
This is exactly what the program builds on: the children learn through play and at their own pace, without pressure. Curiosity is the best driving force here.

What if the child can already ski a bit?
KIDS ON SKI is aimed exclusively at children who want to learn to ski from scratch. Those who already have some experience will find the right challenge in other course formats.
The first contact with the snow often stays in memory for a lifetime, all the nicer when it happens at exactly the right moment. If you plan now, you give your child the chance to experience this moment calmly and with plenty of curiosity.
Good to knowEach child can take part only once. Ski lessons, equipment and ski pass are 100 percent sponsored, and parents only pay for their own accommodation and meals.
