Adult Ski Lessons for Beginners - St. Johann in Tirol

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.

The lessons are designed for adult beginners and those returning to skiing after a break.

You start in the beginner's area by learning the snowplough and making turns. Once you have mastered these, you move on to easy blue slopes to continue practising and expanding your skills.

The meeting time is 20 minutes before the start of the lesson on the first day and for the rest of the week.

Lunch is not included, but the lunch break is spent together with the ski instructor in a mountain restaurant.

No, beginners do not need a ski pass for the first few days of lessons. Your instructor will let you know when to buy one.
