Details
Whether you are a beginner on the slopes or already an advanced skier looking to perfect your technique, we welcome skiers of all levels to our ski lessons for adults in Balderschwang.
Our certified instructors will support you on your way and help you to take your level to the next level. You will be divided into small groups at the beginning of the course to ensure your safety and fast progress.
Learning to ski is possible at any age and so the beginners among you will start by learning how to handle the equipment, glide and brake. You will also do exercises to control your speed and how to ride the lift. The aim is that by the end of the course you will be able to safely master blue runs and feel comfortable doing so.
More advanced skiers will ski more challenging slopes and improve their technique. Braking safely on ice slabs, keeping your balance on undulating terrain and moguls, as well as reacting correctly in narrow passages are all on the programme here.
Meeting time
We meet 15 minutes before the start at the designated meeting point: Beginners meet at Gschwand 1, and intermediates meet at the ski school office, Gschwend 60, at the mountain station of the GschwendLift I, also accessible from the main road.
These beginner and intermediate ski lessons in Balderschwang are overwhelmingly praised by participants, with about 95% of reviewers giving a five-star rating. Reviewers consistently highlight the exceptional quality of the instructors, describing them as professional, patient, and friendly. Many felt they made rapid learning progress thanks to personalized tips and small group sizes. One happy customer summed up their quick improvement as: "Monday: Driving school, Tuesday: black run". While the organization is generally considered flexible, one review noted that a lesson ended earlier than expected. The courses are particularly well-suited for beginners building confidence and for skiers who want to refine their technique. Overall, it's a highly recommended experience for anyone wanting to learn and have fun on the slopes.

We had a one-day ski course with Rupi right after the Carnival holidays, and it was absolutely perfect!
There weren't many people around, which meant we had private lessons almost the entire time, a huge advantage.
Our ski instructor, Rupi, was incredibly friendly, funny, and very professional. He chose fantastic exercises tailored to our individual progress, which helped us tremendously. We made great progress in a very short time and were even able to venture onto the black run on our own the next day.
Our conclusion: Highly recommended!
"Monday: Driving school, Tuesday: black run" – it couldn't be described better!

Unfortunately, people often stopped during class time or at least left too early.
That's a real shame.

What should I wear for my lessons?
You should wear warm clothing suitable for winter sports. Other accessories such as gloves, a ski mask and sunglasses are strongly recommended.
When should I collect my equipment?
You must arrive at the first lesson with your equipment (skis and poles or snowboard, and boots). If you do not have your own equipment, make sure to allow enough time to collect it from the rental shop so as not to delay the start of the lesson. Some shops even offer the option of collecting equipment the day before your first day of hire.

Wearing a helmet is compulsory for children in some countries, but it is strongly recommended for everyone, regardless of age.
Where can I buy a ski pass?
