To reach new heights on the slopes, you need skiing or snowboarding experience under qualified guidance. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced skier, professional instructors will help you improve your skills and teach you new principles. The ski school in Bad Hofgastein (Gastein ski area) offers excellent tuition for children and boasts a great team and well-prepared training facilities.
And to make sure it is not only fun but also rewarding, the Angertal Ski Centre has created the Gasti Schneepark winter park for children, complete with conveyor belts, carousels, wave runs, a fun park for young snowboarders, animal trails, the Magic Sun Lift for children, a maze, a snow castle and a snow tubing track.
The school has three types of groups:
Minis: groups for 3-4 year old kids who, in addition to building snowmen and playing snowball in the kindergarten on the school grounds, receive their first ski lessons. Gliding, balance training and first runs in the beginners' area are all part of the programme for the youngest skiers. When the weather is bad, children can have fun and relax in the specially equipped playroom.
Kids: Courses for children from four to fourteen years old. Lessons at Gasti Schneepark are always fun and playful, so your child won't get tired. A trial lesson is available if parents are unsure if their child is ready for a group course.
Teens: Advanced course for teenagers who already know how to ski and want to improve their skills with professional tuition. Emphasis is placed on technique, freeride and video analysis.
