For more than 10 years, Poly-Aktief has, on a non-profit basis, organised ski trips and ski lessons for people with a physical handicap. Hundreds of physically handicapped people have been taught by Poly-Aktief to ski in a method suitable to their abilities and countless volunteers and instructors have been trained by Poly-Aktief.
Poly-Aktief was begun because there was scarcely any possibility for people with a handicap to learn to ski.
In the meantime, Poly-Aktief has become one of the most important organisations in Europe.
Poly-Aktief offers training possibilities with new techniques to learn to ski.
In addition, Poly-Aktief offers a huge assortment of ski materials in almost every size.
These materials are constantly being updated to the most modern requirements.

Poly-Aktief is the only ski organisation for the handicapped affiliated with the Netherlands Association for Accessible Sports (NEBAS/NSG), and participates in the European Slide project

The lessons are given by experienced, specially trained instructors.
You learn to ski independently within a few days, during one of our group trips or arrangements, in the real snow in Austria. Experience has taught us that people under expert leadership in the snow, regardless of their talent, generally learn to ski independently in a mono-sit, sleigh-skiing or Snow-Surfing within 3 days.
Crutch-guided skiing generally takes a little longer, also regardless of talent.
