These guys were great. Good communication and understanding. A completely different experience after a bad experience with another ski school.

The staff were all very friendly. Though I thought the resort we went to at Bad Gastein was a bit tricky for for first timers with some quite steep sections on the blue runs our instructor Olle was excellent. He had good English. By the end of the week with quite a breadth of skill in our family with some advancing quicker than others he was patient and spent time coaching us giving good advice across all skill levels. If someone was slower to pick up the technique other instructors would add additional help and advice. I would use again. Thanks Olle!

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.
