When skiing first arrived in the Sauerland more than 110 years ago, forward-thinking people quickly recognised the opportunities it offered the region. Enthusiasm soon spread. Schools played an important role in this development: children learned to ski. In ski clubs, they further developed their skills, experienced a sense of community and found new motivation. The idea grew, became part of Sauerland's winter culture – and eventually a tradition.

The same is true today: enthusiasm begins with that very first turn, a ski day with the class, time spent together with family, a course or training with a ski club. Once you experience how those first attempts turn into real confidence on the slopes, you want to keep going.

That is why we create and support opportunities for young people – from ski days with school classes to training with ski clubs. So that a first experience can become something that lasts a lifetime.

Are you planning a ski day with your class or ski club?

Several ski areas in the Wintersport-Arena Sauerland offer special rates for school classes, clubs and other groups. Get in touch with your chosen ski area well in advance. They will provide you with all the information you need about booking, availability and the arrangements for your ski or winter sports day.
