FAQ

We recommend you make a reservation through our website or by e-mail. In the high season it can happen that the group courses are fully booked. Online booking is possible until 2 days before the course starts

We offer group ski courses for children from the age of four. 

All group lessons are three hours in the morning, during vacations also in the afternoon.

Private lessons are also available for younger children on request.

Parents should inform the ski instructor on the first day if there is anything special, e.g. if a child has an illness. After this conversation the parents have to keep their distance. Experience shows that it works better when the parents are not around. It is also important to prepare the children well for the ski school and to explain to them how everything works.

Basically yes. You can tell us which teacher you wish to have. However, in the case of group courses we cannot guarantee that we can fulfill your wish!

Yes, the collection is for everyone at 9:15 . The children and adults usually meet at the same meeting point. The children are picked up at the same place and are always looked after until their parents pick them up again!

In our ski school children are divided into groups according to their age and skiing ability. If your children can ski at the same level you may inform our staff by registration. We will do our best to put them in one group!

Should the children not ski equally well  the child who skis better would have to take the weaker child into consideration!

Many of our guests visited us before. The children receive a certificate or a skiing booklet. Depending on those recognitions we do our first categorization. If you visit our ski school for the first time the grouping takes place after a questioning in assessment of driving skills, age and language. At the first skiing day there is also a test drive where the instructors see if the assigned group is suitable for your child. If not it is still possible to change groups.

All courses we have a restriction of 4-7 persons per teacher. In absolute exceptional cases there can also be 8 attendees.

It is possible to visit the group courses for one day. But to learn as much as possible we recommend you to visit the course for at least three days. Our program for group courses is build up for the whole week.

We already had this in our offer earlier, but our experience has shown that there is not enough demand in Oberstaufen.

Basically you can only get the money back if you have a medical certificate (illness, injury). However we will refund the course fee for the following days after the first day of the course if the children do not like it ( test day for Bambini).
