FAQ
Frequently asked questions

We have a ski rental service directly at the valley station of the Donnerkogelbahn at our ski school - with a children's ski course booking of at least 3 days we offer a 10% discount on the normal children's rental prices. 

Basically, the group classifications take place on Sunday and Monday. For advanced children, we can check on site whether it is possible to join during the week. Snowboard beginner courses and adult beginner courses always start on Monday. 

Basically, the sooner the better! You can make the reservation in our office, but it is also possible by e-mail or telephone! 

Yes, but we ask you to buy the lunchtime supervision in our office by 10 a.m. on the same day at the latest. 

From three years old.
For three-year-old children, we offer a half-day course (Fuxi's Miniride).
For all other children, we offer a full-day course.
For snowboard courses, however, we recommend a minimum age of 8 years. 

We have Dutch ski instructors and also some Austrian instructors who speak some Dutch, but we can't always promise that you will get a Dutch instructor. 

Basically, we recommend that you book group courses in advance via our online shop. This saves you time and guarantees you a place in the ski school. 

We recommend taking at least three days, but in principle, you can book individually from 1-6 days with us. You also have the advantage that if you want to extend the ski course, you only pay the difference in price. Furthermore, the program in the group course is structured for the whole week. Especially for beginners, we recommend taking at least three to five days so that you have a certain foundation in skiing.

The ski passes must be purchased separately. You can find the conditions for ski passes under the following link - https://www.dachstein.at/de/tickets-preise/skipass

Beginners start at our own practice area, where a ski pass is not yet required - as soon as the group moves to the slopes to the lifts, a ski pass is required. The ski instructor will inform you as soon as a ski pass is needed.

The children are divided into groups in our ski school primarily according to their skiing ability and age. If your children or friends' children are of approximately the same skiing ability, please let the person in charge of the group allocation know your request on the first day and we will do our best!
If the children are not equally good at skiing, the child who skis better would have to take the weaker one into consideration!

Yes, a final race is always planned for Thursday.

Our program for the groups is structured for one week with a ski race on Thursday. Therefore, it makes sense to stay in the course for the entire (5) 6 days. However, it is of course also possible to attend a course for fewer days!

No! It is possible to book the additional days for the difference! So you end up paying the same price in total!

Beginners all start in the Kinderland and their progress is constantly monitored and groups are put together accordingly. Advanced children are allowed to ski ahead and are then assigned to the group according to their skiing ability.
