FAQs Archive - Schischule Neustift Stubaier Gletscher

Q: What can you ski on your own after the lesson?

We recommend taking a step back after the lesson: instead of skiing the run you have only just mastered with your instructor, choose a slightly easier route that you can already manage well. This helps consolidate what you have learned and build confidence.

Q: What happens if the glacier is closed?

If the glacier should be closed, the following options are available: Private lessons: Depending on skill level, an alternative ski area in the valley can be used. Our office will contact you directly in such cases. Group courses: These cannot be relocated to other ski areas. However, we will make every effort to reschedule missed course days whenever possible.

Q: My child is almost 4 years old – can they participate in the ski course?

Generally, we accept children from 4 years of age into our ski courses. If your child is almost 4, they may – upon prior arrangement – initially participate in the course for two hours to see how they manage. The final decision, however, rests with the respective area manager.

Q: In which ski resorts can I book my course?

All our group courses take place on the Stubai Glacier. In exceptional cases and upon prior request, it is possible to book a 4-hour private lesson in another ski resort in the valley as well.

Q: When does the ski race take place?

The ski race usually takes place on Thursday, the last day of the week’s course. During holiday periods, the ski race may be held on both Wednesday and Thursday.

Q: Where is my meeting point?

All of our meeting points are located in the area of the Gamsgarten mountain station. The meeting point for private lessons is located directly at our office at the mountain station. The meeting points for group courses are marked with colored flags and are clearly visible on-site. For more detailed information, please contact our offices – we will be happy to assist you.

Q: Why can my child under 4 years old not take part in the ski course?

Please understand that our ski courses take place in all weather conditions and are held at an altitude of around 2,600 m. At this altitude, the air is significantly thinner, which can be particularly strenuous for very young children. To ensure safety, well-being and a positive experience for all children, we therefore only offer our courses from the age of 4.
