Taster lesson
The gentle first contact with snow and skiing – short, playful and together with mum or dad in the Arosa children's area.
Gaining first experiences in the snow
For children aged 2 to 5 who have never stood on skis before or have only done so a little, the taster lesson is the ideal introduction. Accompanied by their parents, the child learns to move on skis in a playful way, without pressure and without a long lesson duration.
The lesson is deliberately shorter than the regular group lesson and takes place at midday – leaving enough time for breaks without overtaxing the youngest children's attention span.
- For children aged 2 to 5
- Accompanied by parents
- Sun–Fri, 12:15–13:45
