[learn more](https://www.schladming-dachstein.at/en/activities/cross-country-skiing/all-trails) Which cross-country skiing trails in Ramsau am Dachstein are suitable for children? As with adults, the most suitable cross-country trails for children depend on their ability. For beginners and younger children, the area around the World Championship Stadium is certainly the best place to get their first taste of cross-country skiing. Here you’ll find: - several classic tracks in the centre for practising - a skating loop on the outer track for first attempts at the free technique - a undulating track for initial exercises with a gentle incline and a downhill section For more advanced children and cross-country skiers, Kali’s Crosspark is also located next to the stadium; with its various elements and obstacles, it offers a fun way to improve technique. Once you’ve learnt the technique well enough to tackle your first loop on the trails, the Stadium Trail, the Standard Trail East and the Standard Trail West are ideal for your first extended cross-country skiing experience. At what age can children start cross-country skiing? Children can start cross-country skiing at a fairly early age – roughly from 3 to 4 years old. What matters most is not so much their exact age as their motor skills, balance and, above all, whether the child is keen to give it a go. Younger children should generally start with the classic technique, as it is closer to natural movement patterns such as walking and running and is therefore usually easier to get to grips with. Skating places greater demands on balance, coordination and strength. A breakdown by age group might look something like this: - **Children aged 3 to 4** are best introduced to cross-country skiing through play. Strap on their skis, walk and slide in the snow, play simple games – perhaps for 20–40 minutes. No ‘training’ as yet, and hardly any focus on technique. Children of this age should get used to the skis and be able to move about on them independently. - **Children aged 5 to 6** are at a very good age to start their first cross-country skiing course. By this age, children are usually able to glide, brake or turn in a more controlled manner and learn the basics of the classic technique. A play-based children’s course usually works well at this age. - **Children aged 7 to 9** are at a good age for more systematic learning. Their coordination and body awareness are sufficiently developed to build up the classic technique properly and – depending on the child – also to master the first skating movements. - **Children from around 10 years of age** can increasingly be taught and trained in technique in a similar way to adults, whilst of course still in a manner appropriate to their age.
