Under the instruction of qualified ski teachers, stand up and take to the slopes for the first time or expand your own ski and snowboard skills. The courses and workshops will be conducted in English to make international communication easier. Afterwards a joint get together in the ski hut ensures everyone is in a good mood when closing out the evening on the slopes.
A 4 hour ski pass is included in the price. Your ski pass timer always stops when you leave the slope within the allotted time. The timer continues on your return to the slope. So you can feel free to leave the slope without the time on your ski pass running out.
