St. Anton for beginners and children

St. Anton am Arlberg has a name for demanding terrain, so many parents ask whether it suits beginners and children. It does. The ski school has its own children's area with practice lifts, and there are courses for first timers of every age.

Hoppl's children's area

The children's area of the ski school, Hoppls Erlebnispark, is reserved for children and their families. According to the Arlberg tourism website it has nine magic carpets, a carousel, practice lifts, a children's stage, a lounge and a house with a kindergarten. For small children that is a calm place to take their first turns.
