At the red flag of the ski school directly at the car park Sonnenberg.
I booked a ski course for adult beginners. The course itself was very good, and the ski instructor was competent and patient. I learned a lot and can now ski on easy slopes independently and safely, which is a great success for me. It was a bit of a shame, however, that children also participated in the course, even though it was advertised as an adult course. This often led to delays, as the children were understandably more shy and needed more individual attention. For adults who want to learn efficiently and quickly, this can be somewhat frustrating, as they probably could have learned more in that time. Overall, though, the ski course was of very high quality, and I would generally recommend the ski school – ideally with a clearer separation between children's and adult courses.
It was fun and we learned a lot... unfortunately, there was a lot of confusion at the beginning before we could finally start.
Everything was satisfactory.
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.
You will learn how to ski and stop safely, as well as how to use the ski lift on your own. More advanced skiers can improve their technique and learn to ski parallel.
The meeting point is at the ski school flag at the Sonnenberg car park, 30 minutes before the start of the course. Please have your booking confirmation ready.
The groups are composed of a maximum of 8 participants with similar abilities.
If the minimum of 4 participants is not reached, the duration of the lesson will be adapted or shortened.
Although the course is advertised for adults, it is possible that children also take part in the lessons.
