School Tours at Ski Centre Dublin

comment

No matter the weather, we combine fun with learning on Ireland’s only indoor ski slopes. Our slopes use a unique revolving technology that simulates real ski runs, allowing skiers to get in realistic length ski runs.

Whether experienced skier or budding enthusiast, we welcome everyone to join in the fun and develop their slope skills with us. For those who have never skied before, our slopes are by far the easiest and safest way to learn. Once you get on the slope and hold onto the bar, you’ll be on your way! Our expert instructors are beside skiers every step of the way and with a remote control they can control the speed and height of the slope. Like all good sports instructors, they can pre-empt any falls and quickly bring the slopes to a stop at a touch of a button.

Highlighting the positive benefits that come from physical activity and movement is central to what we do, and our aim is to for lifelong associations to be formed. The social element is not to be underestimated either – through adventurous team challenges with their friends, the children will learn to ski through play.
All equipment is included to get suited and booted, but we recommend wearing comfy sports gear and that thick sports/ski socks are brought along to wear underneath the boots.

• Suitable for ALL abilities
• Increased motor and social skills
• Team challenges and adventures
• Safe environment with strict procedures in place
• All instructors Garda vetted and hold multiple ski teaching qualifications

School Trips

We welcome groups of every ability to the centre, providing a safe environment on Ireland’s only indoor ski slope no matter the weather. The exact duration will depend on the size of your group. Each slope accommodates 3-4 skiers at a time, rotating groups every 10 minutes to give leg muscles a well-deserved break. 

Transport to and from the centre is not provided and we recommend that children bring their own snacks and/or packed lunch.

All school prices are €10 per child, with a minimum of 9 children required per slope. For further details please email events@skicentre.ie or phone 01 293 0588 Visit Web Site
