Ski school group for kids aged 7 to 16 in Arosa

In this ski course in Arosa, your children aged 7 to 16 will learn to ski in a safe environment. The course is equally suitable for beginners and advanced skiers. Group lessons are held in small groups so that the trained ski instructors can address each child individually and ensure significant progress in learning.

Children who have never been on skis and beginners start in the "Honeyland" area. Here, they get to know the equipment, take their first steps, and are shown how to properly ski in the wedge position and brake. More experienced skiers practice techniques to learn the correct use of ski poles and already ski down more challenging slopes.

The instructor incorporates many playful exercises into the courses to make sure the fun never falls short.
