Junior Weeks

During our Junior Weeks, it's free to be a child. Food, ski hire, ski school and much more are included for one child up to the age of six per paying adult. In addition, Vargy organises extra fun activities for our families with children during these weeks.

Vargy loves kids and kids love Vargy - that's why he's put together weeks where kids can really maximise their ski holiday with fun and games! The concept is simple - when an adult pays for a specific activity, such as lunch, ski school or ski hire, a child up to the age of six can enjoy the same activity for free. Clever, isn't it?

All-inclusive for all children

Junior Weeks are the weeks when it is completely free to be a child at our ski centre. In addition to lots of fun activities in the Wolf Club as these weeks are free, all this is also at no extra cost for all children with a paying adult;

Three votes on Junior Weeks in Stöten

Elis, 5 years old: ”It's great to see Vargy every day and get lots of high fives! I also went to ski school with a great ski instructor who taught me how to brake with my skis like an ice cream cone. That was fun! Now I can brake, ride the button lift by myself and ride the bumps in the forest without falling.”

Knut, 6 years old: ”I like that you can eat as many pancakes as you want. Every day! It's also fun to go on Grandma's downhill run, it's my favourite run because it's so long. And my little brother can ride it too, even though he's not as good as me because he's only four. I can even ski red slopes because I learnt that in ski school. My ski teacher Mollie was really nice and taught me a lot.

Stella, 4 years old: ”I took part in a skiing competition (the Vargy Trophy) and I got a medal! Then we went to a party for Vargy's birthday and we got to meet Vargy and hug him. He gives the best hugs in the world. We also went on a treasure hunt and looked for a lost treasure that we found! It was great fun!
