About the Activity
What to Expect
These ski lessons in Gerlos are ideal for teens from 13 years and adults. The lessons are ideal for first-timers providing a fun and safe environment where participants can learn the basics of skiing in groups of maximum 10 participants.
Under the guidance of professional instructors using efficient teaching methods, participants will gain confidence on the snow. They will start on gentle slopes where they will become familiar with their equipment and learn the importance of balance and posture. These foundational skills are crucial for their first turns and for building a love for the sport. The instructors focus on helping each participant improve their skills at their own pace, ensuring a supportive learning environment. With the picturesque backdrop of Gerlos, these lessons not only teach essential skiing skills but also provide a memorable and enriching experience for beginning skiers.
Meeting Time
We meet at our meeting point at the practice area close to the Arena Center at the mountain station of Isskogelbahn, 10 minutes before the start of the lesson. Please note that going up to the mountain station from the valley can take up to 15 minutes, or even longer during high-season.
Important! If you are a beginner or do not have much experience (only indoor experience), we ask you NOT to take the Dorfbahn because there is no practice area there. In this case, please take the ISSKOGELBAHN. You will get off the gondola and find yourself directly in the beginner area.
Ski Pass
All participants need a ski pass from the first day of the lessons. You can buy your ski pass at the ski lift ticket office or online before the first lesson.
