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.

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.
