Kids Ski Lessons (4-6 y.) for All Levels

In Arosa’s children’s ski lessons, your children aged 4 to 6 learn to ski in a safe environment. The course is suitable for beginners and advanced skiers alike. Group lessons take place in small groups of no more than 8 children, so the ski instructor can give each child individual attention. Beginners get used to their ski equipment and learn the right posture for skiing. By the end of the course, they’ll be able to make their first turns. More experienced skiers improve their technique and learn more about using their poles correctly and skiing parallel. They’ll also ski together with the other group members on more challenging pistes. The ski instructor includes plenty of fun exercises in the lessons, so there’s no shortage of fun.
