When do group lessons or private lessons take place?
When do group lessons or private lessons take place?
Group lessons usually take place from Monday to Friday in the mornings. The exact times of the single courses can be found in the Offers (Section Children/Adults).
Private lessons can be booked all day on weekends, and between 1 pm and 4 pm from Monday to Friday (in spring until about 4.30 pm).
What teaching method do you use?
We teach based on the "Swiss Snow League" system by the Swiss Snowsport Association. The respective course goals are listed here.
Do the instructors speak my language or the the language of my children?
All our snow sports instructors speak several languages (Swiss, German, French, English, Italian, Spanish, Russian, Polish,...). The most important thing in a group lesson is the skill level of the participant, the language is only secondary. Hence, groups are usually mixed.
If you decide to take a private lesson, you can inform us about the desired language during the point of booking. If an instructor is available, we are pleased to book the course in your desired language.
