FAQ - Frequently asked questions

Do children need to wear a helmet?

The chance of a child being injured in a small fall is minimal. Nevertheless, the head can be in harm's way when riding lifts, when two skiers collide, or when a child is on the ground after a fall. For this reason, we recommend your child wears a helmet. (Helmets can be borrowed for free in the Lanersbach ski school office, conditioned on availability.)

What age do children have to be to enter the ski school?

Children can start to learn the basics of skiing at about 4 years old.

Do children need poles?

Beginner and easy intermediate children don't need to use poles.

Do children need a skipass?

Children 6 years and older need a skipass.

Children born after 1 January 2006 can ride the lifts for free!

Clothing and sun protection:

Children should always have appropriate clothing, sunglasses (ski goggles), and sunblock on at all times.

High-cut trousers with a separate coat are ideal for smaller children. This way, when the weather is warm, and during games, the coat can be removed and/or the layers below can be adjusted.
