Our ski school operates 3 meeting points where Your teacher will wait for You.
Meeting point 1 is meant to be for all group courses ski (Rudi Club, children, adults) as well as for private lessons for beginner and lower advanced level (skiing in snowplough).
You can easily find meeting point 1 close to the valley station of the Plose cable car. Please walk along the wooden bridge next to the entrance/exit of the station. Be sure to stay on the left side of the trail in order to avoid incidents with descending skiers.
Meeting point 2 is located at the mountain station (top station) of the cable car and serves private lessons with advanced skiers. Furthermore all snowboarders (beginners, advanced, childern as well as adults, group courses and private lessons) will meet here.
When You exit the cable car station You will see the meeting point right ahead of You next to the restaurant "La Finestra" at the end of the wooden "Plose" writing (big letters).
This meeting point was created for our guests from the "Skihütte" area. Due to logistic reasons we can only start lessons with advanced skiers here.
You will find this meeting point directly at the mountain station of the Pfannspitz cable car.
The first lessons on the snowboard (private lessons as well as group courses) will always start at this slope which is located next to meeting point 2, in between the restaurant "Geisler" and the entrance of the chairlift "Schönboden" (above the little church). Please consider that the teacher will accompany all learners to this slope so do not bring them there on Your own. We meet at meeting point 2 and walk there crossing the Schönboden slope. For all relatives/friends or other persons, crossing this slope is FORBIDDEN. If You wish to watch our lesson or take photos feel free to follow the path that indicates the walking trail towards "Rossalm". After a 5 minute walk You reach our training slope. We underline once again that crossing the "Schönboden" slope on Your own holds a high incident risk both for You and skiers or snowboarders riding this slope!
All group classes can be booked trough our webshop. webshop

Generally we suggest starting at an age of 3. If the instructor notices that You child is not ready yet, we will inform You.
Beginners don't use sticks. Advanced skiers can bring their sticks to the lesson if they have already used them the year before. If the children should bring their sticks the following day, our instructors will inform You in time.
At an age of 5 Your child can try snowboarding. If our instructor notices that You child is not ready yet, we will inform You.
If they are at the same technical level it is no problem to put them in the same group. Otherwise it is not possible.
On the first day all participants will be divided into the different groups according to their skills. If a participant doesn't fit into his/her group after some days, we will hand him/her on to the best fitting group.
When booking at our school we will make a first rough division into 2 levels:
beginner - never skied before
(slightly) advanced - (some) experience on skier.
This division is only a first step and the final decision will be made by the instructors on the first course day (monday).
Usually our group takes up to 8 participants. However, during high season it is possible that we will need to open the groups up to 12.
We recommend being at the meeting point at least 5 minutes ahead of the lesson's beginning.
If You are late for Your group course, please call our school. We will inform Your instructor in order to meet You up as soon as possible.
If You are late only some minutes, don't worry - Your instructor will be at the meeting point waiting for You. If the delay is significant please call our school, we will organise the rest. Please note that delay time cannot be added at the end of the lesson.
For children under 18 it is obligatory to wear a helmet in Italy. Over 18 there is no obbligation to wear it, however we highly recommend wearing a helmet at all ages.
