Ski lessons in Karpacz
Ski and snowboard school for children and adults — right below Śnieżka.
Karpatka instructors teach skiing and snowboarding from the very first step. Lessons take place on a gentle slope with a beginner conveyor lift, and you can rent equipment on site — arrive, sign up and start the same day.
Ski lessons for children
Children start on the gentle part of the slope with the conveyor lift — away from faster skiers on the T-bar lifts. The instructor works at the child's pace: first getting used to the skis, riding the conveyor and snowplough braking, then the first turns and runs on their own. 55-minute lessons suit the youngest well, and the sledding hill and bar are right next door.
Ski kindergarten in Karpacz
The Karpatka ski kindergarten takes children from the age of 3–4, depending on each child's readiness. Lessons are in groups and run as play, so children learn to ski almost without noticing it is a lesson. They start on the conveyor lift and, once ready, move on to the T-bar lift.
A slope made for beginners
The Karpatka slope has a gentle, even gradient that is ideal for learning. The conveyor lift lets you start safely without a ski lift, and once you feel confident, the T-bar is the next step — all on one slope, with no transfers and no stress.
Ski lessons for adults
First time on skis or back on the slope after years? In a private lesson the instructor focuses on you alone: your stance, safe braking and turning — and once you feel confident, you move from the conveyor to the T-bar lift together. Skiers who already ski on their own can polish their technique and carving.
Snowboard lessons
Karpatka school also teaches snowboarding. We start with balance and side-slipping on gentle terrain, then turns and riding the lift. You can rent a board and snowboard boots on site.
What are the lessons like?
A lesson lasts 55 minutes — private or in a group with family or friends, and each additional person is just +60 PLN. For your first lesson you only need warm, waterproof clothing, gloves and goggles or sunglasses. Skis or a board, boots and poles can be rented by the slope; the full set costs 40 PLN per day.
