FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
I’ve never skied before. Can I take lessons?
Of course. Our beginner lessons are for people putting on skis for the very first time: you start on the training slope with walking, straight gliding and the snowplow. On average, 6–8 hours of instruction is enough to get started in skiing.
How long is one lesson hour?
One lesson hour is 50 minutes. Prices are per lesson hour and depend on the number of people.
When do I pay for my lesson?
Lesson fees are collected when you book the lesson, before the lesson takes place.
Can I cancel my lesson?
Lessons can be canceled up to 60 minutes before the start of the lesson. No refunds are given for arbitrary last-minute cancellations.
How many people are in a group lesson?
In our ski school programs and group lessons, students are taught in groups of 6–7 formed according to their age and technical ability.
