894 Euros | 3 half days of 3 hours each

A private 3-day beginners course is suitable for beginners; you will make much more progress than with a group course. Classes take place from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. or in the afternoon from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Before or after, you can practice what you have learned yourself on the practice area – this means you will make great progress in the 3 days.

You can book the ski equipment directly when making your reservation. We will send you an offer.

For advanced beginners who have already completed a group ski course, a private ski instructor is recommended for 3 hours every 2 days:

Our ski instructors are highly qualified and are among the best in the Salzburg region. We select the ski instructor for the groups based on ability, a „Anwärter“ ski instructor is sufficient for beginners. Advanced and good skiers absolutely need a „Landes“ ski instructor, if you ski very well a „Staatlichen“ ski instructor is compulsory – this is the only way you can improve, as the ski instructor has the appropriate training.

FAQ - SKILL® Beginner Ski Course

Yes. The SKILL® beginner course is for adults and teenagers aged 15 and over who are trying skiing for the first time or want to learn the basics. Lessons start at a level suited to you at the Wiesenegg beginner and practice area in Saalbach Hinterglemm. SKILL® is an award-winning ski school, named “Ski School of the Year” at the International Skiareatest 2024.

This beginner programme is a private course. You book the instructor for yourself or your own group, with up to five participants included in the same booking. You are not placed in an open group with other guests. Learning together works best with similar experience, so please tell us who will take part and whether anyone has skied before.

The beginner programme consists of three half-days with three hours of ski tuition each, giving nine hours of lessons in total. Lessons run from 9:30 am to 12:30 pm or from 1 pm to 4 pm. You can practise what you have learned before or after your lesson. Ask your instructor which exercises and terrain are appropriate for your current ability.

Up to five participants are included in the private lessons; additional people may be possible on request. Rental equipment can be arranged separately. Contact us for an offer for your preferred dates.

You start by getting familiar with ski equipment, balance, gliding and controlled braking. First changes of direction and turns build on these skills. Progress depends on your starting point and personal learning pace. Your instructor adapts the exercises and discusses which terrain you can already manage in control.

The Wiesenegg beginner and practice area is beside SKILL® Ski School at Wieshofweg 319 in Saalbach Hinterglemm. It provides a place to get used to skis and snow before progressing further. We agree your exact meeting point and start time when you book.
