Ski & Snowboard Lessons: Frequently Asked Questions
Planning your time on the slopes in Davos or Klosters? Here are answers to common questions about our private lessons and three-day beginner group courses.
What is the difference between a private lesson and a beginner group course?
Private lessons are tailored to your goals and current ability. Our three-day small-group courses
are designed exclusively for complete beginners.
Choose a private lesson if you prefer an individual programme or already have some skiing or snowboarding experience.
Can family members or friends share one private instructor?
Yes. Family members or friends can share one private instructor, with no additional lesson charge
for extra participants. You can also divide your instructor’s time between participants to give each
person more individual attention.
If abilities or expectations differ, we recommend discussing this with us before booking.
Where do lessons start in Davos and Klosters?
Our beginner group ski and snowboard courses start at Bolgen in Davos or at Madrisa in Klosters,
depending on the course booked.
For private lessons, we discuss which ski area and slopes best suit your goals and agree on an individual
meeting point and starting time.
Which ski areas in Davos and Klosters do you teach in?
We teach in the ski areas of Jakobshorn, Rinerhorn and Parsenn/Gotschna, as well as Madrisa.
For private lessons, we help choose the ski area and slopes that best suit your ability,
interests and the conditions on the day. We can also take into account where the rest of your
family or group will be skiing or snowboarding, so that you can meet up for lunch, for example.
Are lift passes and ski or snowboard equipment included?
No. Lift passes and ski or snowboard equipment are not included in our lesson prices.
If you need rental equipment, we can recommend selected local sports shops in
Davos and Klosters where our guests benefit from discounted rental rates.
Can we request a particular instructor?
You are welcome to tell us which instructor you would prefer.
We will check availability and confirm whether your requested instructor can
teach on your chosen dates.
A morning lesson is ideal if you enjoy freshly groomed runs. An afternoon lesson
offers a more relaxed start to the day. Either option leaves the other half of the day
free for independent practice or other activities.
An all-day lesson gives you the most flexibility to explore and develop your skills. The individual
lesson pages explain the available durations and prices.
What happens if the weather or snow conditions are poor?
Safety comes first. Our instructors take weather, snow conditions and participants’ abilities
into account when planning each lesson. If you have concerns about the forecast, please contact
us on the day before your lesson.
Any cancellations, changes or refunds are subject to our booking terms and conditions.
How far in advance should we book?
Booking early is advisable, especially during the Christmas/New Year and February peak periods.
Availability depends on the requested date, lesson type and instructor.
