Skiing with kids in Innsbruck?

We are planning a skiing trip to Innsbruck in February, and considering
whether we should take our 7 year old with us. He is not a bad skier,
but rather slow (it won't take long before he says the same thing about
me , and I don't mind to ski with him for a day or two, but not the
whole week.

This is our first trip to Alps and I have no idea what services are
available for kids in European ski resorts and particularly in
Innsbruck. Are there full day/half day ski schools, how expensive they
are, do i need to make reservations long before? Any other information
you could share?

Thank you,
simon...

He won't get any faster/better if you leave him at home!

There will of course be a ski school at Innsbruck. There are schools at
every resort & all the Austrian schools are generally good. They usually
operate for 2 hours in the morning & 2 in the afternoon & some will provide
lunch for an extra fee.

http://skisnowboardeurope.com/innsbruck/lessons.html will give you some
guide as to cost.

There will be plenty more to be found via Google.

You might have a different problem. Innsbruck is a normal town at 600m
altitude (2000 feet). There are no ski runs right into town. If you bring
him to the ski school every day it might take quite some time, especially
without a car or in case of snow. Try to find out how to get your son to the
ski runs.

If I were you I would spend my holiday at one of the ski resorts (e.g.
Axams) and visit Innsbruck from there.
