NLGrouping without waiting
Grouping without a demo run
With our proven classification system a “demo” or “trial” run on the first day is no longer necessary and long waiting times on the practice slope are avoided. Determine your level with the help of our classification videos and find out which technique you would like to learn with us. After a quick talk with one of our area managers you can immediately join a suitable group. Bring your child to the meeting point and leave it at the colored flag. Our teachers will place your child in the right group. Participants are placed into the appropriate group according to their skiing experience, age and language. The classification is arranged by the area managers who try to place every participant in the right group.
If necessary, adjustments can be made to ensure everybody gets the most out of the lessons. This quick classification process saves valuable course time, and we can guarantee huge progress and more effective ski lessons.
How do I find the right group for my child?
In order to achieve the fastest possible learning progress, the children are divided into different age groups. Of course, we take the child’s language into account for all ski courses. On request acquaintances, friends or siblings can be placed in a group together if they have the same level and the group limit is not exceeded.
Children who have already been at our ski school the previous year are divided into the group in which they were placed by the ski instructor at the end of the course the previous year. Advanced children who join our ski school for the first time can determine their skiing level and suitable group with our classification videos. A further, more precise group division takes place directly in the ski course. We will be happy to advise you personally which level is best for your child.

Our tip for kids
Book the course from Sunday. Starting Monday, children will be assigned to existing courses.
Especially after a year off, kids may need some time to get back into the swing of things. Therefore, during the first two days there may be a change of group.
Practice skiing with your child a bit more on Saturday afternoon or arrival day to be prepared for the first day of skiing.
