The meeting point for our group lessons is always in the Giggijoch ski area . Please come to the meeting point 15 minutes prior to the lesson start and bear in mind that you might have to wait a little bit longer for the gondula.

    Our course times are from 9.30-11.30 a.m. and from 12.30-2.30 p.m.

    Thanks to these course times we cleverly avoid crowded periods at ski lifts, restaurants and huts, resulting in less stress and waiting time and more room for happier guests.

    Lunch break is from 11.30 a.m. - 12.30 p.m. (it's getting crowded everywhere at noon).

    We are the only ski school starting at 9.30 a.m. and heading for lunch break at 11.30 a.m.

    • 2 hours private course:09.00 a.m. - 11.00 a.m., 11.15 a.m. - 01.15 p.m ., 01.30 p.m. - 03.30 p.m.

    Our groups have no more than 8 participants.

    • No, ski passes are not included in our course and package deals.
    • Ski passes, however, can be directly be purchased in our office.

    Information and prices on: https://www.soelden.com/winter/ski-area/soelden-skipass-price-list.html

    • Yes, you have to, because our training area is situated up on the mountain directly at the Giggijoch.
    • The ski lift company, however, offers a special beginners' ski pass.

    This ski pass alternative only makes sense when you really are a complete beginner, because only few lifts can be used. Please decide from day to day with regard to the advice of your skiing instructor, whether you buy it or change to the normal ski pass for greater pleasure.st

    • We differentiate according to the piste level they are able to ski on .

    Green (piste): Complete beginner without any experience

    Green plus: Snow Plow

    Blue: Snow Plow/Parallel

    Red: Parallel

     

    Basically yes, they do.  It really makes sense to take the lessons on consecutive days, because the learning steps are closely linked to each other and follow a certain order.  If you or your kids skip a day this could lead to the result that you are no longer able to follow the course and that you have to change to another group.

    Our half-day offers are only valid for our smallest ones in the Kinderland (from 3 years or older).

    All of our other group courses are full day courses, lasting for 4 hours ( hours in the morning and 2 hours in the afternoon)

    • No, but almost, because there are no group lessons for kids on Saturdays.

    Ski Group lessons for kids and teens are available from Sunday to Friday in the high season and in the low season from Sunday to Thursday.

    • So to say, there are ski group courses for kids on the following Fridays: Dec 29th 2023, Jan 05th 2024, Feb 09th 2024, Feb 16th 2024, Feb 23th 2024, Mar 29th 2024, Apr 05th 2024
    • Good to know! We provide Snowboard group lessons for kids only in following weeks: 52/2023, 1/2024, 6-8/2024, 13-15/2024. Starting days for children are only Sunday and Monday.

    Ski lessons are available for kids aged 3 years or older.

    Snowboard group lessons are available for children of a minimum age of 8 years.

    • First of all the ski kids are distinguished according to their skiing abilities, language and age. In case your children's or their friends' skills are on about the same level, we can put them together in the same group.
    • However, it is important for us to know that. Please tell us in advance (in the office or before classification on the mountain).
    • If the kids don't have the same level, but still want to be together in a group, the child with the better skiing skills will have to be considerate of his or her sibling or friend and ski with the slower group.

    Our main languages of instruction in group courses are German and English.

    We also have teachers who additionally to German and English speak Dutch, Danish, French, a.s.o.... They will above all support kids' courses.

    There is, however, no absolute guarantee for a certain language in a group course. Be free to tell us your desired language, we will make a note of it.

    When we form the groups of our skiers language indeed is a factor, but our main criteria are skiing skills.

    • It is not possible to receive a refund if the course is not to your liking.
    • Even though we don't expect and hope that this will happen, we can assure you that you or another family member can use other offers available in our Ski School Vacancia, - offers worth the difference of already used and not used formerly booked skiing days.

    Basically yes, it is, so long as we have a skiing instructor free at the desired time. The difference in the price between group and private has to be paid aswell.

     

    No, you can't. A booked course cannot be postponed or cancelled because of bad weather or similar occurrences. Cancellations of ski lessons due to weather condtions (acts of nature) are not refunded.
