"Skialm" Children's Practice Slope (in winter)
Right next to the hotel, we have set up a great practice slope for all little "ski bunnies" (from 2.5 years old). In cooperation with the ski school "Toni Gruber," all beginners can make their first attempts at skiing there. Please contact the reception directly if you have any questions or wish to book a ski course.
Even outside the ski course, the conveyor belts are open several times a week for you – your children can show you how well they can already carve turns, or would you rather zip down the practice slope with the sled?
You can find out the opening hours at the reception or in the weekly program.
