Questions & Answers

Are the ski pass and the equipment included if we book lessons?

NO. You need to buy the ski pass separately. Children need a ski pass from 6 years on.

Here’s the link to the cost: https://www.wildkogel-arena.at/en/lifts/opening-times-prices-winter/

The equipment you can rent in the shops nearby: https://www.wildkogel-arena.at/en/holiday-information/sport-shops-rentals/

 

Yes. Everybody needs a ski pass to use the lifts. Children up to 6 years are free.

Groups are put together according to the level of skills and the age of the children. If your children and their friends have the same level of skills, you can request that they are put together in the same group and we will do our best to make this possible. If the children have different skill levels, the better skier would need to join the weaker group.

As our schedule for children groups is organised for one week (including competition etc.) we would suggest you to book the whole course of 5 or 6 days. But, of course – it´s also possible to take part for fewer days.

YES! It´s cheaper if you book the whole week at once. The difference between 3 and 5 days is not that much. If you extend after 3 days of lessons there are special rates:
1 day extension = Euro 40,-

Yes, our meeting point for children is nearby the meeting point of adults.
You can bring your children at 10 a.m. - We will take care of them till they get picked up by you again..

The initial classification is done in advance by you. In the online shop, you have 6 different levels available. By clicking on the question mark (?) or in the menu bar "Classification Videos," you can see the videos for it. On the first day of the course, the "fine classification" takes part - the children have to ski down an easy slope. If the classification doesn't fit 100% at any point, there is, of course, the possibility to discuss a group change with the head of the ski school on-site (Info Point Mountain).

You only get money back if you have a medical certificate from a local doctor in case of injury or illness. To reduce your risk we offer a „testing day“.
In case that it doesn’t work against all expectations, we can change your booking to another course (e.g. from group lesson to private lesson; perhaps it requires an additional charge; you will only be charged for the days which were used)

We don't have a ski rental, but there are numerous sport shops next to our office.
Here you can find an overview of all shops: https://www.wildkogel-arena.at/en/holiday-information/sport-shops-rentals/

From 3 years on. The ‘Zwergerl Skikurs’ is a mix of skiing and playing in the snow – it´s perfectly adjusted to their needs! (3 & 4 years)
For a snowboarding lesson we recommend an age of 8 years – for younger children snowboarding lessons are only possible with a private instructor.

We do have Dutch speaking instructors. – They primarily work in our children’s area.

We would suggest you to pre-book the group lessons via our online shop. You save time and get a guaranteed spot in the ski school. Of course you can also book the lessons directly in our office on-site.

You should take part one day after the other because the groups go on with their schedule and learn new things every day. A break in between could lead to a change of the group. Please talk to your ski instructor.

The training schedule of a group lesson is organised for one week. Especially for beginners we would suggest to take part at least for 3 days so that they are able to get to know the basics of skiing.
If you are an advanced skier and you want to refresh your skills we would advise you to take a private lesson for a fast improvement.

Lunchtime supervision is not included and costs € 15,- per child a day. This includes a meal with a drink.

Children up to 15 years have to wear a legally approved winter sports-helmet while skiing.

We also offer baby care on request.
