Founded in 1995, the Hartweger Ski School welcomes all holidaymakers to Kaprun and offers experienced ski and snowboard instructors. The children's course is open to all children from 5 to 15 years of age, and the snowboarding course is open to all children from 8 years of age. In addition to lessons, you can hire ski equipment for the whole family. You'll be taught in small groups of 4-8 to ensure maximum safety and efficiency.
Children first learn to walk and ski on level ground. Balancing on gliding skis can be tricky, but most children get the hang of it after a few tries! The next step is more challenging. Balancing on waves, small hills and mini-tramps to improve stability on skis. This helps to master sliding and breaking (snow plough).
Finally, children learn to navigate the snow. They will learn how to use the lifts, follow the instructor and manage their skis on the slalom slopes. The instructors will help your child achieve these goals with ease!
Depending on age, the school offers the following groups
