Adult Ski Lessons for First Timers - Ehrwalder Alm

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.

On the first day, the meeting point is 30 minutes before the start of the course at the ski school's meeting place at the top station of the Ehrwalder Almbahn, opposite the Tirolerhaus.

The meeting point is not reachable by car. You have to take the lift from the bottom station of the Ehrwalder Almbahn.

As a beginner, you will start with the basics, such as learning how to brake in a plough and schussing on blue slopes.

Based on past reviews, participants are assessed on the first day to ensure they are placed in a group that matches their skill level. It is also possible to change groups if the level is not suitable.
