Easter holidays 2016: Since our children want to do a ski course for the first time and we have no equipment at all, we drive to Ofterschwang and meet Toni Karg and his nice team in the ski and snowboard rental directly at the valley station of the chairlift. Choosing and adjusting shoes and skis is no problem, and to get the most out of the snow, start the next morning.

The Bobo Kids Club for the absolute beginners is right next to the valley station of the World Cup Express, and it's there on the first day. The instructors are nice, explain the concept behind the Bobo Kids Club and the kids are quickly warm with them. There are practice lifts next to the kids' club and at the mountain station. From the third day, the children are on the blue slopes and on the last day, they whiz the red trails down to the valley - unbelievable, what the children have learned in just five days and what safety they have on the boards. Finally, they receive a certificate from ski instructor Benedikt, a medal, and are very proud.

We parents have not been on skis for 25 years and have a bit of a sleeve and a lot of respect for it, but we really want to give it a try. Martin from Toni's team also selects the right ski equipment for us and we spontaneously book two ski lessons - the right decision to get back in. Apparently we have not forgotten everything and after some exercises we are ready for the slopes. That's fun and gives us security.

Lunch breaks are spent either in the sledge hut next to the valley station or in the World Cup hut at the top of the mountain. Both are like the whole ski area very nice and family friendly, also in terms of atmosphere, service and prices. We parents also explore a few hiking trails and enjoy the partly still white, partly already green mountain landscape.

We are happy that we have found a new holiday destination and a new recreational sport and will definitely return again. With the ski rental we do not need to purchase any equipment that needs to be stored, maintained and maintained and transported every time. So we always have the latest material, freshly ground and waxed while also saving a lot of money. We prefer to invest in a holiday apartment. We will be back definitely !
