Children’s School

If the kids are happy so is usually the rest of your family during your trip.

Young children (4-6 yrs)

Level 1

In this course we start from the beginning. The goal is to understand how the skis and the ski lift work. We practice with and without skis. We take time and do this at a pace that suits the children and most importantly, you are going to have fun on the way

Level 2

You can handle the plow turn, stopping and riding the lift but want to progress. Speed and parallel skis are important.

Level 3

Here we try some steeper slopes. Short and long turns, quicker and speedier with shaper cornering.

Children (7–11 yrs)

Level 1

Beginner’s level. We learn to handle our equipment and take everything from the start. Soon we can stop, plow and manage the ski lift in the beginners slope.

Level 2

You already know how to stop, plow and take the ski lift. Here we train you to be more confident, safe and your speed control in the turns improve.

Level 3

You can manage most of the slopes. From this level it’s easier get in to the carving style of skiing. Surface and steepness is less important.

Level 3

Here you ski with completely parallel skis. We take long slopes and encounter jumps, bumps and even fresh snow when available. We practice position and balance for even cleaner and sharper turns.

Youth (12-15 yrs)

Here we start with about the same levels as in the children’s classes only with an older age group. We take a look at the latest trends and polish up on the right technique at the level that is best suited for you.


Adults

Based on you skill level we create confidence and control. We see to it that you get the best possible skiing experience and that you feel more confident in your skiing abilities than before.

Level 1

For those that have never tried skiing before, this is the basics.

Level 2

For those that have some experience. You will learn how to ski with parallel skis in controlled turns. Basic technique with balance and the right position is the focus.

Level 3

For those that already know how to ski with completely parallel skis. We fine- tune your position and try some different exercises that will encourage you to have the confidence to try more. No slopes are really too hard.

Level 4

You ski with speed and want to be able to control your turns on different surfaces. Acceleration out of the turn and to use the carving technique amongst other things is the focus at this level.
