BOOKING & RESERVATIONS

Course bookings and reservations are made right at the ski school, or online. Bookings are confirmed in writing, and only after settlement of the amount due.

 

PAYMENTS

Online bookings must be paid in advance. Private lessons are confirmed only once payment has been made. We accept cash, major credit cards and debit cards.

 

SKI EQUIPMENT & SKI PASS

Our ski school shares the same location as “Peppi” ski rentals, providing you with a one-stop service. We also issue you with a Gitschberg Jochtal ski pass. To save time, you can book your classes and ski equipment online in advance. All guests of the Gitschberg Ski & Snowboard School enjoy a 10% discount on ski and snowboard equipment rental.

 

MEETING POINTS

Meeting Point #1 (beginners): at the children's playground in the centre near the Pobistlift, about 100 m from the parish church.

Meeting Point #3: (advanced skiers/snowboarders) at the exit at the mountain station.

Please note: The meeting point is confirmed at the time of your booking. If accompanying parents do not plan to ski, we offer to bring them from the valley station to the mountain station/Meeting Point #3. After the course ends, the children are brought back to the valley station.

 

LUNCH

During the day-long ski course (10.00 – 14.30), lunch (with a choice) is included in the price, plus a drink.

If you have any allergies or intolerances, please let us know in advance.

 

SPECIALISED CHILDREN'S SKI SCHOOL

The Gitschberg Ski School specialises in children's ski tuition, and we adhere to suitable criteria concerning children instruction:

  • Morning classes.

  • For children aged 3 and up, we recommend booking a private lesson – a gentle and safe introduction to skiing.

  • A trial lesson for very small kids (4 – 5) to see if they are ready to ski.

  • A secure children's practice zone with features such as the "bobsleigh run", "washboard", and even a mini ski jump.

  • Easy aids to help ascend the slope, such as a ‘tapis roulant’ (magic carpet).

  • Learning aids include: poles, balls, arches and cones.

  • Jogi, our friendly mascot is always ready to assist the kids.

  • Before lessons start, all children are issued with their own name tags, and coloured waistcoats.

  • At the end of each course, there’s a race and a prize-giving ceremony.

  • The all-day ski course includes a children’s lunch (menu choice), plus a cool drink.

  • When parents are busy signing up for ski lessons or renting ski equipment, the children can distract themselves in our children's corner.
