Yes. Your child needs a ski pass to get access to the lifts and slopes of the Matterhorn Paradise. Children under 9 can get the Wolli Card for free. Children between 9 and 16 years receive the ski pass at a reduced rate. All tickets can be purchased at all points of sale of the Matterhorn Paradise with proof of official ID (including date of birth).
On the website you will find our Stoked Kids Club Ski Level System with the exact descriptions and criteria of each level. You can familiarise yourself with the level videos and compare the skiing skills of your child.
The levels of the Stoked Kids Club Ski Level System are very comprehensive and challenging. In addition, the higher levels often require more complex physical conditions and coordinative abilities, which may also be age-dependent.
Suitable snow proof, warm ski clothes, gloves, helmet, ski goggles, sun cream, ski pass, lip protection, skis, ski poles (from level Snow Bunny), pocket money for a drink.
Yes! It is very important to us that all children wear a ski helmet. Our instructors are role models and wear a ski helmet as well.
Please have faith in the Stoked instructors and let them get on with their job. If your child is crying in the morning, stay within sight for a while. As soon as they have calmed down you can leave them alone with their instructor. Your child is on holiday. They should learn to ski or snowboard in a fun way and they do not need to become a champion within a week!
Yes. Every Friday, the Stoked Kids Club ski race takes place. All children who have participated in a group lesson will take part. Private guests are also welcome to the Stoked Kids Club ski race. After the race we have the prize giving with great prizes!

In this case please refer to our terms and conditions.
