Short answer: in most large Austrian ski areas, children born in 2021 or later ski free, so roughly up to the age of 5. Children ski free for longest at the Stubai Glacier and in Ischgl with the VIP ski pass: under 10 with a paying parent. In spring several ski areas also let older children ski free when a parent buys a multi-day pass.

We compared the official 2026/27 price lists of 22 ski areas. In Austria age is counted by year of birth, not by birthday.

Free for longest

Ski area Free Condition
Stubai Glacier under 10 with a paying parent, same pass category, only at the ticket office
Silvretta Arena Ischgl under 10 with the VIP ski pass, otherwise under 8 VIP ski pass only with the Ischgl/Mathon guest card, child with a parent
Mölltal Glacier born 2019 or later with the parents
Pitztal and Kaunertal Glacier born 2019 or later only a €2 fee

Free up to 5 (born 2021 or later)

This applies in SkiWelt, with the Ski ALPIN CARD (Saalbach, Zell am See, Kaprun), in Ski amadé, at KitzSki, in the Zillertal, in Serfaus-Fiss-Ladis, at Nassfeld, in Obertauern, at Kreischberg and on the Turracher Höhe. In Saalbach and at Nassfeld the child must be accompanied by an adult or a parent.

Almost free

Spring and family offers

  • Ski Juwel Alpbachtal Wildschönau: from 13 Mar 2027 all children up to 15 ski free if at least one parent buys a ski pass for 3 days or more.
  • Nauders: during the family weeks 20 Mar – 4 Apr 2027, children up to 15 ski free if a parent buys a Nauders+ ski pass for 5 days or more.
  • Silvretta Montafon: from 20 Mar to 11 Apr 2027 children (born 2008 or later) get a multi-day pass of 5 days or more free if a parent buys a multi-day pass for the same period.
  • Nassfeld: when you buy two adult and two child day passes, the third and any further child skis free.

Where even the youngest do not ski free

In Ski Arlberg the youngest children (born 2019 or later) have their own Snowman rate. We did not find its price in the price list. In Nauders and Ski Juwel the overview gives no price for the youngest, so the calculator counts them as paying children.

What this does to the price

For a family with two children (aged 9 and 5), 6-day ski passes are cheapest at the Stubai Glacier (€710), because both children ski free. The typical price is around €1,040. The full comparison is in the ski pass price index, and the calculator works out the exact price for your family and dates.
