My ski course with the Hopl ski school was a complete success. Ernst was the best ski instructor on the Planai 😉. He was always able to focus on individual skiers and give us technical training. He also made it fun. When I was still almost a beginner, he put me in the advanced group and thanks to him I was able to quickly adapt to the skiing skills of the group and can now ski red slopes. I can only recommend the Hopl ski school. I will definitely be back next year.😃
I made very good progress in a very short space of time; my problems were noticed and resolved immediately. I felt safe at all times with the wonderfully experienced ski instructor
I really learned a lot these past few days from teacher Franz. He took his time to explain certein techniques. We first practised them on the blue pistes, then tried them on the red ones. He was a fun and patient teacher.
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.
In this course, you will refine your skiing technique, focusing on correct posture, the proper use of poles, and parallel skiing. You will also learn the carving technique on more challenging slopes.
If there are fewer than 4 participants in a group, the ski school reserves the right to shorten the lesson time.
To receive the exact meeting point, you need to go to the selected ski school office the day before your lessons are scheduled to begin.
The instructors are very experienced and adapt to the individual skill levels within the group. One guest reported joining as an "almost beginner" and was able to progress quickly to red slopes thanks to the instructor's guidance.
Yes, a past guest mentioned that their ski instructor was multilingual and was able to explain everything clearly for everyone in the group.
