Details
Our adult ski lessons for first-timers in Grächen welcome everyone who wants to give skiing a try! Together in small groups of 6 participants maximum, you will spend fun hours in the snow.
When you get on skis for the first time, you start by getting used to the equipment. With targeted schussing and braking exercises, it will not take long until you can brake all by yourself. Step by step, you work together with the ski instructors towards your first turns. As soon as you feel confident on your skis, you can conquer the first easy slopes.
With the tips and tricks of the ski instructors and a lot of patience, we will teach you the right technique so that you can soon make your first turns in the snow. The small groups allow our team to respond to each individual and thus incorporate your wishes into the lessons.
