QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Children from 3 years can participate at the ski taster lessons in the Snukiland. From 4 years, participation at the group ski course is also possible. For snowboard courses, however, we recommend a minimum age of 9 years. Children can be younger if they book a private lesson.

The taster course is an introduction to snow sports and is dedicated to children under the age of 4. The lesson is shorter than regular group courses (1 hour or max 2 hours).

Normally there is plenty of space in the group courses. However, during Carnival weeks some courses might be fully booked very quickly. We therefore recommend booking the course online in our Online Shop. In this way the registration process in the Ski School office is much faster.

The number of participants varies depending on the group you booked. The exact numbers are available in the Info-Box with the respective course offers. The minimum number of participants for all courses is 5 persons. We want the group courses to have a small number of participants in order to guarantee an intensive learning experience.

The Snow Sports School reserves the right to put groups together or to reduce the number of lessons (in case of a 3-hour course to 2 hours, in case of a 2-hour course to 1 hour).

The first grouping is done based on the information you provided at the point of booking and based on the DSLV snow sports philosophy. In order to understand the process better, you can watch the group assignment on our website. If you don't want to choose the course level yourself and do not know your current level, we will be pleased to assist you.

At the start you need some patience until everyone is in the right group. The instructors always try to make the required changes very quickly, if somebody should be in the wrong course level. If at the end of the first day, you still have the feeling that you or your child are in the wrong group, please talk to the instructor or the main instructor on the slope. They will help you to find the "right" group for yourself.

Grouping of children is mainly based on the skiing skills, the age and the language of children. If your children or your friend's children are at the same skill level, please inform the instructor on the first day, and we will try our best to put them into the same group! If the children are not at the same skill level, the child who skis better would have to join a lower skill group to meet the requirements of the weaker child!

Yes, grouping of course participants occurs near to each other at our meeting points. All courses end at the meeting point and children will be looked after until they are picked up by the parents!

In general, money is only refunded upon presentation of a doctor's certificate (illness, injury). We have however several offers (taster hour in the Snukiland, extension day, ...) in order to reduce the "risk" as much as possible!

No. Once you need a ski pass the snow sports instructor or our sales office will inform you about the best option. The use of the conveyor belt in the beginners area is included in the course rate. The use of the pull lift and of other lifts is not included in the course rate.

You have a price advantage if you book all course days at once before course start!

We recommend booking a multi-day course in order to guarantee optimal success. Especially beginners should book at least 3-5 days in order to get a certain basic level of safety on the equipment. The course days have to be consecutive.

No, if you have booked a course, there is no possibility to postpone or cancel the course in case of bad weather or other events.

The winter sports report will also inform you about the open lift facilities.
