Your family skiing holiday in the region of Salzburg
Beginner ski practice slope directly in front of the child-friendly Hotel Waldhof
The family Hotel Waldhof is the ideal winter location for a family ski holiday in Austria with the kids. If your children still need to learn how to ski, there is a beginner practice slope conveniently located directly in front of the hotel doors.
The earlier one starts to learn to ski, the easier it is to learn this winter sport. Even at the age of three your kids can start their first playful attempts on skis in the kindergarten ski school - an excellent preparation for the children's ski course. On the beginner ski slope at the Wurzl Ski Alm Resort, half-day and full-day skiing courses are offered for children starting at four years of age. For especially energetic little skiers, there is also a full-day ski course at the Lackner Ski School in Grossarl. The ski courses at Wurzl's Ski Alm Resort in Austria have been designed for beginner skiers who want to learn to ski for the first time.
Family ski holidays in Grossarl, Austria: Off to the practice pistes!
On your family skiing holidays in Grossarl in the Salzburg region, you will find the best conditions to learn how to ski. One ski instructor and myself, Wurzl the Waldhof gnome, will help you during your first attempts at skiing in the snowy winter wonderland. In the Waldhof practice arena, I, Wurzl the Waldhof gnome, have set up everything so that it will be easy for you to learn to ski on your family ski holidays in Salzburg and so that you’ll also have lots of fun!
- Between 10:00 and 12:00 the beginner ski course takes place.
- "Abracadabra sim sala bim": the magic carpet will bring you back to the start as if by magic.
- Funny characters bring colour to the white ski pistes.
- No skis in your suitcase? No problem! At the Lackner Ski School you will find all the right equipment for your first swishes down the slopes at the Wurzl Ski Alm Resort.
- And if you don't feel like skiing any longer, you can sled down the gentle slopes in snow tubes.
Off to the ski course, kids!
Even if mum and dad can ski very well, it doesn't automatically mean that they can teach it to others well. Professional ski instructors have been trained to teach your children the right movements in our ski courses. From the very start, your kids will learn the correct technique and still have tons of fun in the ski lessons for kids in Grossarl. An added bonus: other children who will also be skiing for the first time will be learning with you. The motivation required to not give up so quickly is greater when you can see that others are experiencing some difficulty too. And of course taking part in the ski lessons with other kids means simply double the fun! All in all, you and your kids will be able to enjoy your time skiing, and learning to ski, in Austria on your family ski holidays at the Hotel Waldhof in the Salzburg region!
