Our Ramsi ski school for the smallest skiers is a skiing hit in Carinthia. Here your little ones can make their very first turns directly at the Kinderhotel Ramsi.

The group division is age-appropriate (Pistenflöhe I and II) and you can rent the children’s ski equipment directly from us at the hotel.
Your little ones learn to ski with lots of fun, joy and creativity.

At the end of the week, they will be beaming at the parents from the victory podium, knowing that there are only winners in this course.
Even more ski action
