01A kid-sized ski area
The Filzmoos ski area has 20 km of slopes. The runs are laid out so clearly that kids quickly know where they are, and you don’t have to spend long looking for them. For an overview of all lifts and slopes, read our article on skiing in Filzmoos.
Often it’s the people at the lifts who make the difference. The Liftler, as the lift staff are called here, help kids get on, take their time and have a smile for every child. Anyone watching a chair come up from behind for the first time needs exactly that more than any piste map.
02Blue first, then off to the zoo
The blue slopes are there for the first turns. The real beginner lifts are the Bögrainlift and the Rettenegglift. After that, the blue slope at the sixpack Mooslehen is waiting, and on the Grossberg there are no fewer than two family runs.
Once the turns are sorted, it’s time for the two adventure runs. In the FiLZOO at the sixpack Mooslehen, figures of a giraffe, parrot, monkey and sloth await along around 1 kilometre, with waves and small obstacles in between. On the Schneemannweg on the Grossberg, snowmen keep you company on the way down. Both runs have the same side effect: at the bottom, nobody wants to stop.

03Three ski schools for those first turns
Three ski schools teach in Filzmoos. Skischule Filzmoos has been around since 1954. At Skischule Bögei, mascot Bobo invites the little ones into his winter world. The family-run Skischule Exklusiv focuses on personal coaching.
Between them they cover everything, from toddler courses to private lessons. The ski schools can tell you directly from what age your child can join which course. You’ll find their contact details on our Ski Schools page.
Under the name Best Learn2Ski amadé, Ski amadé focuses on skiing with certified pros, for every age and every level. The participating ski schools can tell you directly which Best Learn2Ski offers are available in Filzmoos.
04Gear that grows with them
Kids grow out of ski boots faster than you’d like to buy new ones. Filzmoos has four ski rental shops: Intersport Flory, Sport Ledl, allforski and Sport Stefan. There you’ll get the right gear for kids too, along with advice on fitting.
05What a ski day with kids costs
Kids ski for roughly half price. In the peak season from 19 December 2026 to 26 March 2027, a day ticket at the ticket office costs 36,00 € for children, 54,50 € for teens and 70,00 € for adults.
For the first ski day, less is often enough: a ticket until 13:00 or from 12:00 costs 30,50 € for children, a two-hour ticket 26,50 €. Online in the ticket shop there are cheaper early-bird prices.
There are special day tickets for families: two adults with two children pay 193,00 € from Monday to Friday and 175,00 € at the weekend, and the third child skis free. At weekends the Junior Weekend Bonus also applies: the day ticket costs 26,00 € for children and 39,50 € for teens.
Children born in 2021 or later ski free when accompanied. They only need the Minicard, from 8,50 € a day, for the practice lifts without an adult and for ski lessons. For the whole season there’s the Ski amadé ALL-IN Card White at the Mini rate for 81,50 €.

- 22,50 €Child, two hours
- 81,50 €Season pass Mini, born 2021 or later
06Take a break before hunger strikes
The best break starts before the first whining. Right at the valley station of the sixpack Mooslehen is the Holzwurmhütte, with sweet Buchteln buns and vanilla sauce. Up at the top station is the Schwaigalm: bean bags, deckchairs and a snowball wall are waiting there, and right next to it stands the life-size giraffe from the FiLZOO.
The Kleinbergalm, a Canadian-style log cabin, sits at the top station of the Grossbergbahn.
If you want to go higher, the Papagenobahn takes you to the Schörgialm at around 1,600 metres in seven minutes, with views of the Bischofsmütze and the Dachstein. The Papageno runs are red and best for confident skiers. Family members who don’t ski can ride the gondola up to the Schörgialm. How that works is explained in our article on Filzmoos without skis.
07Five tips for skiing with kids
- 1Start small: for the first day, a ticket until 13:00 or from 12:00 is enough.
- 2Start at the sixpack Mooslehen: the blue slope, FiLZOO and Holzwurmhütte are all close together there.
- 3Take a break before anyone asks for one, for example in the deckchairs at the Schwaigalm.
- 4For the last run, pick one your child already knows, such as a family run on the Grossberg.
- 5Stop while it’s still fun. Then tomorrow it’ll be “Just one more!” all over again.
