Ski and snowboard courses in five winter sports centres
Learning to ski and snowboard becomes child's play – with the right support! In all five winter sports centers in the region, highly trained ski instructors are on hand to guide beginners and children step by step on the slopes. From the first ascent on the magic carpet to the first turns, there are plenty of orientation aids: Various "wild creatures" figures along the route make learning fun and entertaining.
Practical: The ski rental is usually located directly at the ski schools. This means that you don't need your own equipment - and if your ski boots are too tight, they can easily be exchanged for a larger model.
Perfect training ground and tips from the best
Thanks to the gentle topography of the Carinthian Nockberge mountains, the ski slopes in Bad Kleinkirchheim, on the Turracher Höhe, on the Falkert and the Hochrindl offer ideal conditions for practising your first turns. Returning skiers can also easily find their way back onto the slopes here. The children's area on the Goldeck sports mountain is also particularly snow-sure - it is the highest children's area in Carinthia.
"The plow turn becomes a pizza slice, the parallel run becomes fries - learning to ski is child's play in the ski school with professional instructors."

Nox and Nixi
The two mermaids live in the thermal springs in Bad Kleinkirchheim. They spend the winter in the surrounding snow paradise. Their kids' slope at the Sonnenleiten lift is an adventure playground with curves, figures and little tasks.

Heidi, Peter and the Alm-Öhi
They head to Heidi's SchneeALM on the Falkert in the winter months. The little ones practise their first turns, while the older ones try out the wave run, rails, kickers and boxes.
