We work very closely with Zell Ski School, who are happy to teach children from 4 years upwards. Children that are booked into the children's clubs will be dropped off and collected from ski school by our childcare staff and from there bought back to the hotel where we provide lunch and afternoon activities (or return to ski school) all supervised.
For children that are not skiing and are booked into the children's clubs then a mountain of fun and games both indoor and outdoor awaits daily.
Our Mini Club is pure fun! Children will enjoy sledging, snowman building and exciting cable car rides - often with a stop-off for a cup of hot chocolate. The action continues indoors, with a full programme that includes arts and crafts, face painting and games.
If you've a 4 or 5 year old who'd like to combine crèche activities with learning to ski, we can arrange ski lessons* with a Mark Warner recommended ski school* and include our drop-off and collection service provided by our nannies.
Supervised Lunch and High Tea are included.
6 Full days: 9am to 5.30pm - £180 per week

In the Kidz Club it's all about action, with the emphasis on having fun in the snow. And if your children also want to ski, they're still welcome to join. Our nannies can take them to our Mark Warner recommended ski school* and bring them back for lunch with the others from Kidz Club.
For non-skiers there's a packed programme of entertainment from sledging, snow sculptures, face painting, games and treasure hunts. Our energetic nannies also supervise excursions such as bowling and ice skating for which there's a small extra charge.

Skiing can sometimes seem like an elite club! What with the technical jargon, specialist equipment and ski resorts that sound like they should be in the Chronicles of Narnia, it is slightly daunting for those of us who want to learn. We warmly welcome beginner skiers and our aim is to help you on your way to loving the sport as much as we do.
Lessons are not just for beginners though, if you are looking to improve your technique or build up confidence, booking lessons on your ski holiday will be the best way.
Staff at the Mountain Lake Resort will be able to help with your lesson booking.
