Little ones: first experiences without pressure
We take particular care and time for the youngest skiers. At 2.5 – 3.5 years your kids start with 45-minute Toddler one-to-one lessons and can get used to skis and snow in peace. For children aged 3.5 to 4 years there is the two-hour Mini-Bambini course.
What matters to us is that children themselves show an interest in skiing and enjoy the snow. Is your little darling still a bit cautious or unsure? Then we give them the time they need to build confidence. Pressure has no place in learning to ski, as far as we are concerned.
Kids & Teens: skiing better together
From 6 years, our Juniors and Teens are all about becoming more confident together with others of the same age, developing their technique and discovering new challenges on the slopes.
For very good young skiers we also offer our Freeskiing Kids & Teens Action Days. The programme includes an area safari, park and freeride in Snow Space Salzburg, among other things.
Learning through play and gaining confidence
Children do not all learn at the same speed. Some jump in bravely straight away, others need a little longer to gain confidence. Both are perfectly fine.
At the children’s ski school in Flachau we work with an educational curriculum and playful exercises. Partner and group exercises let us accommodate different rates of progress well. Anyone who needs a little more time gets it.
Our international team includes experienced and qualified ski instructors, among them Landesskilehrer 1 and 2 as well as state-certified ski instructors. The instructors are also prepared for their work with training in sports psychology and teaching methods.
More than skiing: our weekly programme
A children’s ski course should do more than teach technique. Shared experiences are part of it too. The weekly programme includes, among other things:
- Dino treasure hunt on Tuesday
- Big final race on Wednesday
- big prize-giving at the Musistadl
- Action Day on Thursday
Depending on the course and experience, your little sports star can look forward to different highlights.
Two locations for our children’s ski school in Flachau
If you are looking for a children’s ski school in Flachau, you can choose between two locations with us: right at the valley stations of the Starjet 1 and Spacejet 1 lifts. The ski school office and practice areas are each close by.
- Starjet 1 in the town centre: right in the centre of Flachau and within walking distance of many places to stay. The practice area is right next to the lift.
- Spacejet 1 with car park and ski bus connection: easy to reach by car and ski bus, with a large car park right at the valley station. Our children’s area in Flachau and the practice lift are right next to the Spacejet.
Which location suits you best mainly depends on how easily you can reach it from your accommodation.

Even more winter fun for kids and teens?
Besides our ski courses, children and teenagers have even more ways to experience winter in Flachau. Anyone who fancies something new can, for example, try out snowboarding, or discover new sides of winter with special offers such as deep snow adventures or ski touring.
And if your child or teenager would rather learn in a completely individual way or work specifically on technique, private lessons are also possible.
Frequently asked questions about our children’s ski school in Flachau
From what age can my child take a ski course?
First experiences on skis are possible with us from as young as 2.5 years. In 45-minute Toddler one-to-one lessons the youngest can get used to skis and snow in complete peace. For children aged 3.5 to 4 years there is the two-hour Mini-Bambini group course.
From 4 years further children’s courses follow, which we allocate by age and ability. Juniors on Skis is generally for children aged 6 to 12, Teens on Ski unlimited for teenagers aged 13 to 16.
What matters to us is not only age: the desire to ski should come from the kids themselves. Then they can keep learning with joy and without pressure.
How do I find the right level for my child?
When booking online you choose the ability level. Short videos show you what the kids can already do at each level. That way you can easily judge where your little ski fan currently stands. If you are still unsure, just get in touch. Together we will find a group where your little one feels comfortable and can keep learning with joy.
Simply call us on +43 6457 21 80 or write to us at info@skischuleflachau.at.
Does my child need a lift pass?
That depends on age and ability. For children up to the age of 6 the lift pass is free and has to be collected daily. Beginners usually only need one from the second course day, often from the afternoon. If you are not sure which lift pass your child needs, we are happy to help.
How many course days make sense for my child?
Three course days are generally perfectly possible. Our experience shows, however, that children make another clear leap in progress especially on the fourth and fifth day. If it works for you time-wise, five course days therefore make particular sense.
Can my child manage four hours of ski lessons?
From around five years, a four-hour ski course is, in our experience, quite manageable if your child likes being active and enjoys movement. Of course every child is different. If you are unsure, we will gladly advise you which option suits best.
How big are the children’s groups?
Even in the busiest weeks a maximum of 12 children ski in one group with us. Smaller group sizes apply to the younger children. The exact size depends on the course.
Is there lunchtime supervision for children?
Yes. Lunchtime supervision for children up to 12 years can be booked separately from the ski course. It costs €20 per child per day. Food and drink are included.
Can I book ski equipment as well?
Yes. When you book the course, you can book the matching rental equipment straight away. At our rental partners Sport 2000 Perner, Sport Stangl and Sportzeit Flachau you also get 10% off ski and snowboard sets as a course participant.
Ski equipment is included in Toddler one-to-one lessons. For the Mini-Bambini course, book rental equipment in the online shop.
How much does a children’s ski course cost in Flachau?
Prices depend on the course and its length. The two-hour Mini-Bambini course starts from €77. Bambini on Skis, Juniors on Skis and Teens on Ski unlimited each start from €120. (Prices for the 2026/2027 season) You can find the current prices for your preferred date directly in the online booking.
Can language requests be taken into account?
In our international team German, English, Dutch, Polish, Slovak and French are spoken. Let us know your language preference. We will try to take it into account when assigning groups. However, we cannot always guarantee a particular teaching language in group courses.
Can I extend my child’s ski course?
Yes. You can extend the ski course. You only pay the difference to the next course day.
