Kids on Ski Montafon
Small turns. Big winter fun.
The free ski-learning program for children ages three to five.
What does snow feel like under your very first pair of skis? How does cautious experimentation gradually turn into a confident turn? With KIDS ON SKI, children between the ages of three and five discover winter sports through play, with professional guidance and at their own pace.
In the winter of 2026/27, the initiative will be offered throughout the Montafon region. Together, local hosts, ski schools, mountain railways, specialty sports shops, and other partner businesses will help young snow enthusiasts get started in skiing with ease.
The KIDS ON SKI package combines lodging, ski lessons, equipment, and a ski pass into a single package. This means less organizational hassle for families and more time for children to focus on what really matters: trying new things, building confidence, and experiencing winter with all their senses.
