What to Expect
On the mountains, ready, set, go! Stubai glacier, the biggest glacier ski resort in Austria, is a fantastic spot for you to start adult ski lessons. Perfect for everyone who is seeking a thrilling new adventure, this area offers 35 slopes to explore and experience the amazing snow in the Tyrolean mountains. Let's kick off this exciting skiing adventure!
Surrounded by like-minded people having the same goal, you will be introduced to the world of skiing. Our well-experienced ski instructors form the group to benefit to a maximum extent. The group spirit is not just fun, it also keeps motivation high. You will learn to get familiar with the slopes and your equipment in no time. Perhaps some will be able to ski down the 10 km-long descent from Wildspitz to the valley station effortlessly.
Meeting Time
We meet 15 minutes before the start of the lesson at the top station Gamsgarten at the meeting place Olympia. Watch out for orange-blue flags and instructors with blue jackets.
Ski Pass
All skiers need a ski pass from the first day of the lessons. You can buy your ski pass at the ski lift ticket office or online before the first lesson.
The vast majority of reviewers rate this beginner ski lesson at Stubai Glacier five stars, praising the patient, professional, and friendly instructors. Beginners highlight making rapid progress and feeling "immediatly more confident on the slope," with many skiing blue runs within days. The individual attention and clear, step-by-step teaching are noted strengths. While a couple of reviews mention issues with an instructor’s attitude, the overwhelming feedback is that this is a fun and highly effective way to learn to ski.

Unfortunately, the ski course I booked was not what I expected. We were a group of three participants and one ski instructor. I had specifically booked a beginner's course because I haven't been skiing for very long and therefore am not very good yet.
Basically, the two-hour group lesson consisted of the ski instructor asking pointless rhetorical questions and reacting irritably if, in his opinion, we didn't answer adequately. He gave no instructions or methods for safe skiing and often skied ahead, so that we sometimes couldn't even see him.
His motto was to follow him as quickly as possible. He was also often impatient at the lift, leaving others behind and frequently going ahead on the lift. He ignored my request to be a little more considerate and just did his own thing. I booked a course at a different school the next day and was much more satisfied.
It's a real shame, but I cannot in good conscience recommend this course to beginners.

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.
Do I need to wear a helmet?
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?
Unless otherwise stated, you must have your ski pass with you for the first lesson. You can usually buy one at the ski lift office or online. Discounted rates may be available for children or beginners, so check with your ski school to find out which pass is most suitable.
Do I need to book my lessons in advance?
Generally, it is advisable to book lessons as early as possible. This is especially important during school holidays, such as Christmas and February, when lessons can fill up quickly.
When should I arrive for the lesson?
Please arrive at the meeting point 15 minutes before the lesson is scheduled to start.
Where is the meeting point for the lessons?
The meeting point is at the Gamsgarten top station at the Olympia meeting place. Look for the orange-blue flags and instructors in blue jackets.
What can I expect to learn as a complete beginner?
The patient instructors will guide you through the basics of skiing. Many participants are able to ski down a blue slope independently after completing the course.
I've never skied and I'm a bit nervous. Is this course right for me?
Yes, absolutely. The instructors are known for being very patient, friendly and encouraging, especially with nervous first-timers. They will explain everything clearly to help build your confidence.
What if the group isn't the right level for me?
The instructors are very flexible. If the group's level isn't a good fit, they can move you to a more suitable group to ensure you get the most out of your lessons.
