Sweet and patient teachers. Unfortunately, no Dutch-speaking teachers, but thanks to a lot of patience and extra explanation, it went well.
Great ski school! Even if they don't speak Dutch, they communicate well with the children. Our son is 5 years old.
Everyone was nice and friendly, and the organization of ski pick-up and drop-off was very quick and easy. My daughter had three different instructors over three days, but she thought they were all great!

You should wear warm clothing suitable for winter sports. Other accessories such as gloves, a ski mask and sunglasses are strongly recommended.
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.
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.
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.
The lessons are designed for children between 4 and 12 years old.
The meeting point is at the Hausberg in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, directly below the cable car station. Course allocation takes place at 9:00 am, and lessons run from 9:30 am to 12:30 pm. On January 1st, lessons start at 12:00 pm.
The ski area features a dedicated kids' park with figures, a carousel, and a magic carpet. Additionally, a weekly ski race is held with awards and certificates for the children, based on the playful "Move smart" course concept developed by Felix Neureuther.
Lessons are primarily held in German, and some instructors also speak other languages such as Dutch. While a specific language cannot be guaranteed, reviews highlight that the instructors are patient and communicate very well with children regardless of language barriers.
Children are grouped according to their age and ability during the morning allocation. Reviews also mention that the groups are kept relatively small, which allows for individual attention and plenty of practice.
