Lessons start at 9:30 or 10:30 in peak weeks, with meeting points at Komperdell or Murmlipark. Supervised lunch is booked separately.
At Serfaus, children’s ski lessons are not simply another booking to add to the holiday. Their timetable determines when parents can set off, where they need to return and whether the family meets for lunch. For winter 2026/27, the ski school publishes a system of staggered starts during the busiest weeks: choosing the right session is therefore part of planning the stay.
The arrangement provides for a start at 9:30 or 10:30, with the lunch break and finishing time shifted accordingly. The first session ends at 14:30, the second at 15:30. This is not an additional hour of instruction: these are two different ways of scheduling the same day.
The lesson session also changes lunchtime
The timetable page lists the two starting times during the Christmas holidays from 27 December 2026 to 8 January 2027, during the weeks from 31 January to 26 February and over the Easter period from 21 March to 2 April. For the spring weeks from 28 February to 19 March, a 10:00 start is indicated instead.
Regular group lessons run from Sunday to Friday. Saturday should therefore not automatically be treated as another day of group instruction. On the Sunday when children are assigned to their groups, the school asks families to arrive at the designated meeting point half an hour early.
For parents, the practical considerations begin here: those choosing the earlier session can start their own skiing sooner, but must also be ready to meet their child earlier in the afternoon. The later session allows more time in the village during the morning and moves the return later. Neither arrangement is better for every family.
Three-year-olds follow a different schedule
The FAQs distinguish Murmlipark in the village from Kinderschneealm higher up the mountain. Murmlipark offers a half-day session for three-year-old beginners, from 10:00 to 12:00, without lunch. Lessons for the other groups are organised mainly at Komperdell, at 2,000 metres.
This detail makes a considerable difference when two siblings are of different ages or abilities: booking two lessons in the same village does not mean they will have the same meeting point. The locations and time slots need to be compared before imagining a completely free day of skiing for the adults.
Supervised lunch is a separate option that the school allows families to purchase even for individual days. Choosing it can avoid a return journey in the middle of the day, while going without it means arranging a meeting during the lesson break.
The simplest solution is to keep the parents’ skiing route close to the child’s collection point, at least on the first day. Once the actual travel times, access routes and the child’s group are known, the skiing circuit can be extended. The holiday gets off to a better start when the adults’ first descent is not already a race against the clock.
