It plays a big role that the ski schools and the rental stations are designed to be child -friendly. In Obertilliach, the children's eyes shine when you see the ski jumps and snow cart in the children's country, where you can try your first turns under technical guidance. The Bobo Children's Club in the Sillian Hochpustertal ski center also offers an exciting opportunity for the little ones to discover the fun of skiing.

The prices are also extremely family -friendly.
