From beginners to those with more experience

Ski course offers for young & old

Ski and snowboard courses are offered for children and adults. Simply register at the hotel reception. There is something for all ages and ability groups. The children’s ability is assessed on the first day and they are divided into different levels. So all skiers will be placed in the right group for their ability level.

We offer ski courses for beginners, courses for those with more experience and private lessons, so parents can also find the best offer for themselves (course times and course prices available on request).

Procedure

Ski course for advanced children

From safe swing to sporty driving

The first day

We ask you to bring your children to the assembly point (next to the climbing frame) in the Forstau/Fageralm ski area punctually at 9.30 a.m. You will be welcomed there by the ski instructors from the Resch ski school. After showing the instructors their skiing ability, the children are then assigned to a suitable group. The children go for lunch with the ski instructor in a chalet in the Fageralm ski region. At 3.00 p.m., parents can collect their children from the agreed meeting point.

From the second day

From the 2nd day and until the end of the course, the children are taken to the Forstau/Fageralm ski area by ski bus at 9.20 a.m. (accompanied by the childcare team, meeting point at the car park/exit to the ski room) and picked up again at 3.00 p.m. in the afternoon after the ski course. Children whose parents aren’t back in the hotel at 3.00 p.m. will be looked after in the kids’ club. Each child will receive a “ski bus ticket” for the transfer from reception when you book the ski course. For organisational reasons, only children with this “ski bus ticket” can make use of the transfer.

Important information

For the ski course, the children need a valid ski pass for the Forstau/Fageralm ski region. This can be purchased from reception. The ski course with the Resch ski school, supervised lunch and ski pass for the Forstau/Fageralm are not included in the price.

Ski shop & ski rental

We will arrange all the equipment you need when you go skiing. To prevent skis and ski boots getting mixed up during the ski course, you can get labels for them from our reception. So there won’t be any confusion, even when your children bring their own equipment with them!
