1 day group course for beginners
We offer the Snow Kindergarten to beginners under 4 years. This is a combination of childcare in the crèche, learning to ski and playing in the snow. If care in the crèche is not required, we also offer one-hour ski lessons.
For beginners and intermediate children, we offer half- or full-day classes. Lunch and supervision is always included in full day courses. The lessons for all groups, Beginners to Blue 2, start in the Snow Wonderland (practice area at the base). Depending on progress during the week, the children also ski on the mountain. For these children, we recommend booking the full-day lesson including lunch and supervision. The lessons take place on consecutive days!
Half-day group lessons take place in the morning. Exception: from 27.12. - 31.12.2021 / 14.02. - 25.02.2022 we also offer half-day lessons in the afternoon.
In our Snow Wonderland in Falera we offer group courses for children from Monday to Friday, from 20.12.21 - 04.03.22. From 13 - 19.12.21 and from 05.03.22 the courses take place in our Snow Wonderland in Laax.
The Snow Wonderland in Falera is located at the observatory, outside the village, and can be reached by local bus.
As soon as the children can independently travel by lift and safely ski on blue slopes (from Blue 3), lessons will take place on the mountain. We offer full-day classes, from 3 days, including lunch and supervision. The ski race takes place on Thursday on the mountain. The lessons take place on consecutive days!
Group lessons for adults are held in groups of 2 or more people. We offer 3-day courses, from Monday to Wednesday, for the levels E1 to E5 (lessons for level E6 in private lessons). If there is sufficient demand, the lessons can be extended on site.
The lift ticket is not included in the course price. Children in Snow Wonderland (practice area at the base) do not need a lift ticket. As soon as the children (6 years and older) ski on the mountain, they need a lift ticket. For children we offer heavily reduced lift tickets in combination with lessons for beginner until level Blue 2. We also offer reduced lift tickets for adult beginners (only E1). Detailed information is available at the LAAX School office.
All classes, all levels meet at the base station at 09.45.
LAAX School clients can use separate entrances (Blueline) at the main lift stations and do not have to wait.
Naturally, to complete a successful ski course, you also need the right ski equipment: in addition to skis and boots, you also need a helmet, ski goggles, gloves and the right clothing. Skis and ski boots can be hired at LAAX Rental at the base stations.
If the course lasts at least 3 days, the course participants receive an evaluation with the recommendation / classification for the next course. If all course content is rated at least "good", the recommendation for the next higher course is given. Otherwise, the recommendation for the same course will be given again.
