FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

No. The sports equipment must be rented or purchased independently of the ski school.

The SKI / SNOWBOARD EQUIPMENT is only included in our ALL in ONE PACKAGES!

Basically yes. Beginners do not need a ski pass for the first one or two days at our AreitXpress and TrassXpress stations. At the CityXpress station, a ski pass is already required on the first day of the course as the practice area is at the top station of the CityXpress gondola!
The instructor will advise you – depending on your learning progress – on the purchase of a ski pass. There are also special beginner tickets for the practice lifts which are much cheaper.

The ski pass is not included in the course price! Info and prices for ski passes can be found at:  www.schmitten.at 

We generally recommend booking through our webshop. The earlier the better! This brings you a lot of advantages! There is usually always space in the group courses. In the holiday periods, however, we cannot guarantee that there will be free places on site without online booking.

In principle, it makes sense to redeem the days consecutively, as the learning program builds on each day. Skipping a day could make it difficult for participants, both children and adults, to keep up with the rest of the group, potentially requiring a change to a different group.

In terms of price, our 5-day course is the most affordable option. If you’re unsure whether your child (from 4 years old) will enjoy skiing, you can initially book fewer days. If everything goes well, you can easily rebook additional days at our office!

Group lessons are generally held in German or English. Other languages, such as Dutch, Danish, etc., are available upon request but cannot be guaranteed.

Our beginner group courses start on Sunday or Monday only. Unfortunately, it is not possible to join a beginner group later in the week, as the group will already have progressed.

Course cards are personal and non-transferable. Redeemed course tickets will be refunded on a pro rata basis. The Zell am See Ski School accepts no liability for any accidents.

No, our snowboard group courses are divided by age. Children/teens and adults are taught in separate groups, allowing our instructors to adapt the lessons, pace and teaching methods to each age group.

OUR COURSE PROGRAMME

Lift passes and Ski or Snowboard equipment are not included in the course price. If a group is reduced to 3 participants, the ski school reserves the right to merge groups or shorten the course time. The Zell am See ski school accepts no liability for accidents that occur during or before the ski lessons. A refund of the course costs will only be made in the event of injury or illness – with a doctor’s certificate – as the difference.
Course cancellations due to bad weather, lift failure (force majeure) will not be reimbursed.
