Kid's Skis

Kids' skis for starting out and training in cross-country skiing

The right kids' skis make learning to ski easier and help children develop as skiers. When selecting skis, in addition to the child's height, you should consider their weight, skiing ability, and intended use. Skis that are too demanding or inappropriately stiff for a child can make skiing unnecessarily difficult, whereas the right choice of skis helps them enjoy being out on the tracks.

In our selection, you will find kids' cross-country skis for both classic and skate skiing. We offer affordable options for taking up the sport as well as high-performance skis for juniors who train actively.

Kids' skis for every budget

Not every child needs race-level skis. Our range includes easy-to-use kids' skis for recreational skiing as well as higher-performance models for goal-oriented junior skiers. For example, Fischer, Salomon, and Rossignol collections offer options to suit various needs.

The right ski can be selected based on the child's skill level, intended use, and the family's budget. The most important thing is that the ski works with the child's weight and feels manageable on the snow. Read more about choosing skis in our ski buying guide.

Kids' skate skis and classic skis

Kids' skate skis are engineered for skate skiing, where ski stability, handling, and glide are essential. Classic skis, on the other hand, emphasize reliable grip and smooth glide. For classic cross-country skiing, you can choose easy-care waxless grip skis or traditional waxable skis.

Explore our selections of kids' skate skis and kids' classic skis to find the right match for your child's skiing style.

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions

Why are waxless grip-base skis a popular choice for children?

Waxless grip-base skis and skin skis make getting started effortless, as traditional kick waxing is not required. They are well-suited for family ski outings and learning how to ski. Applying glide wax to the glide zones and keeping the base clean will still keep the skis in top condition.

Do children's skis need waxing or maintenance?

Yes. Regular glide waxing improves the ski's glide and helps protect the base. For waxless and skin skis, maintenance is carried out according to the specific base type. Liquid glide products are a convenient option for the basic maintenance of junior skis. Check out our ski waxing guide as well.

How do I ensure that ski boots fit the ski bindings?

Check the compatibility between the binding and the ski boot before purchasing. NNN, Prolink, and Turnamic systems are mutually compatible when dealing with models built to the same standard. Always verify from the product details that the boot sole fits your chosen binding.
