Courses last from 10 to 12am. Then there is a lunch breaktogether with the group (Attention: not included in the course rate. Lunch is about 18 Euro). After lunchbreak the course continues till 3.30 pm. Then the children can be picked up.
We mainly from the groups according to the level. If your children or friends are the same level, please tell us that you want them skiing in the same group the very first day. We’ll try our best to fulfill your wishes. If they are not the same level, the better one has to go to a lower level.
Schischule Stuben’s meeting place is on the beginners‘ slope. It is easy to find (At the beginning of Stuben, coming from Bodensee on the left hand side. Coming from St. Anton it is on the right hand side.)
Yes, parents and children courses are set out that both can attend their course. You can bring the children from 9.30 – 9.45 Uhr to the meeting place. We look after your children until your group is back and you can pick them up (you should do so till 3.40 pm).
Normally there are 8 children in a group. In case one of the instructors falls ill, we sometimes have to put groups together.
