Winter sports for everyone: Tyrol's schools should promote winter sports
In a current discussion about the promotion of winter sports in Tyrol, Governor Anton Mattle announced that he would expand existing programs to support local students. The aim is to implement the successful “Winter Sports at Schools” model across the whole of Tyrol. This initiative not only appeals to the sporting talent in the region, but also promotes the health and well-being of young people.
"Snow belongs to Tyrol. Our children should have the opportunity to actively experience winter sports," emphasized Mattle in a recent interview. The idea behind this expansion is that both schools and communities can benefit from the positive experiences already made in piloted regions. Winter sports should not only be seen as a leisure activity, but also as an important part of school education.
Successful models in Tyrol
Existing programs have shown that children not only improve their motor skills through regular sporting activities, but also develop social skills. Working together in sports promotes team spirit and fairness, which also has a positive influence on the class climate.
The expansion aims to increase access to school sports and to reach all young people, regardless of their social background. Schools that have already implemented winter sports projects report a high level of interest and positive response from students and their parents.
The aim of the funding is to ensure that more children have the opportunity to learn to ski or snowboard. In this way, a new generation of winter sports enthusiasts could be promoted who can be successful not only in leisure activities but also in competitive sports.

The governor noted that the implementation of this plan also depends on cooperation with various sports associations that can provide resources and expertise. “Together we can build a strong network that makes winter sports accessible to everyone,” continued Mattle.
Another central concern in this discussion is the creation of a sustainable system for winter sports in schools. “We want to ensure that not only individual events take place, but that winter sports are integrated into the curricula in the long term,” explained Mattle.
LH Anton Mattle's plans are a significant step towards promoting winter sports in Tyrol. It remains to be seen how quickly these ambitious ideas can be put into practice and what concrete measures will be taken. Parents and schools can eagerly follow developments that could soon bring a breath of fresh air into everyday school life.
