Children's snow playgrounds

A child learns to ski in the children's snow playground of Riederalp, in Valais, Switzerland.

An ideal place to give youngsters their first taste of winter sports, these dedicated areas in Valais let children of all ages get used to the sensation of gliding over snow.

Snowtubing, tyre carousels and other pieces of equipment make learning a fun experience. Gentle slopes, magic carpets and baby-lifts – everything is set up to let the youngsters learn in a safe environment. With the aid of experienced instructors, they can enjoy a gentle introduction to the sport before launching themselves onto the slopes of the many ski resorts in Valais.
