Ski Lessons for Adults - Beginners

I had a great experience at Ski school Kock in Obertauern. As a complete beginner at age 31 who could barely keep my balance on a pair of skis, even the easiest pistes seemed impossible to overcome. While there are plenty of ski schools in the Lungau area, most of them only offer private lessons to adults starting from a €65 per hour. Knowing that I would need many hours of instruction, this would quickly become a very expensive skiing trip. Luckily, ski school Kock had an offer of 8 hours of instruction over the course of 2 days at a reasonable price, which was exactly what I needed. The instructor, Joep, did a great job at taking me through the basics, again and again, until I finally started becoming comfortable with braking and steering. While I am not the fastest learner, he was very patient with me. Especially making turns at a steep angle was frightening for me and caused my legs and feet to cramp up. After practising many times with Joep by my side, however, I was finally able to overcome my fears and commit to the turn. In the end, those 2 days of instruction gave me the basic set of tools to navigate safely down a beginners piste, which for me was a great achievement. So I can definately recommend ski school Kock and the instructor Joep :)

My husband and I were first time skiers. Leo has us down a blue run after a few hours of lessons. He and Adam were incredibly patient, particularly as I wasn’t the most fearless on the mountain - they kept me and others encouraged and feeling safe. Highly recommend for anyone thinking of learning to ski in Obertauern.

Great adaptation to different performance levels
