Note on program changes:
All courses and guided tours are conscientiously organized and carried out in accordance with the safety standards of the Vivalpin Mountain and Ski School with qualified specialists (e.g. mountain and ski guides, mountain hiking guides, etc.). The provisional tour program may be adjusted for safety-related reasons, such as bad weather, dangerous conditions, unforeseen natural events or inadequate conditions of the participants. The final program will be decided by the guide on site.
Level 1: You should be able to ski medium-difficulty slopes (marked red) safely and without crashing and have mastered the basics of skiing technique. Experience in deep snow is not necessary
Level 2: You already have experience on ski tours or in deep snow and have mastered the basics.
“The courses take place in snow-sure areas with excellent course terrain. Register in good time, as many courses are booked out quickly. If you have any questions, I will be happy to advise you by phone or via Email”
