KIDS ON SKI

KIDS ON SKI

Subsidised skiing tuition programme for children aged 3 to 5. 

The Alpine region is one of the most beautiful mountain landscapes in the world. In winter, it is a paradise for any winter sports adventure. Our campaign “KIDS ON SKI” aims to send the youngest winter sports enthusiasts an invitation to this winter wonderland. What could be better than making your first turns in fresh powder snow? We get the next generation on skis!

 

Information

What is Kids on ski?

The aim of the international “KIDS ON SKI” project is to bring children aged 3 to 5 onto the snow free of charge during the off-season and give them their first taste of skiing as part of an all-round carefree package with 5 days of 2-3 hours ski school, rental equipment, lift ticket and accommodation (with an accompanying person). The prerequisite for participation is that the children have never been on skis before. This offer is valid for accommodation in participating partner accommodations. 

For sports shops and ski schools (Mon-Fri): 

  • CW 51 -> 16–20 December 2024
  • CW 03 -> 13–17 January 2025
  • CW 04 -> 20–24 January 2025
  • CW 12 -> 17–21 March 2025
  • CW 13 -> 24–28 March 2025
  • CW 14 -> 31.3.–4. April 2025

For all dates, the accommodation duration is from Saturday to Saturday. Ski school courses with rental equipment take place from Monday to Friday. The ski lessons are scheduled as follows:

Riederalp:

  • Children under 4 years old: "Toddlers" course from 14.00 to 16.00 
  • Children aged 4 and above: "Kids" course from 10.00 to 13.00  

Fiescheralp:

  • Lessons for everyone from 10.00 to 13.00

Bettmeralp:

  • Beginners (Snowgarden): from 10.15 to 12.15

The cross-destination campaign aims to promote winter sports in the Alpine region and to teach 50'000 children to ski or snowboard for free over the next 3 years. The initiative is based on the understanding that the primary promoters of winter sports are the parents and grandparents. They should be able to pass on their enthusiasm for the sport at an early age and be supported in doing so.
