Kids
Beginners

Advanced beginners
After around a week of ski lessons, children can master independent braking (snowplough) and practice turning on 'green slopes'.
Intermediate
Kids with experience on blue slopes. Here they’ll learn how to safely ride lifts and execute controlled turns on blue slopes.
