Frequently Asked Questions

Do you offer service for personal skis and boards?

Yes, we have a large workshop with the newest tecnology from the company Reichmann. Our fully trained ski technicians offer every kind of service you require.

Can I change my equipment, for example from skis to snowboard?

No problem, any time.

What happens if my equipment is stolen or lost?

For 10 percent of the rental costs we offer a risk contribution which covers loss and breakages of the equipment. If you do not have this you have to pay for the value of the equipment.

Can I return the rented equipment earlier or can I keep it longer?

Yes, you simply pay the difference when you return the equipment that has been rented longer. If you return earlier we will give you money back.

Can I pick up the equipment one day in advance?

You can pick up the equipment between 15.00 hr and 18.00 hr the day before which will enable you to have a relaxed fast start to your fist ski day.

What do I need to leave as a deposit to rent equipment?

You don`t have to leave anything. In order to rent equipment we need you to show us a valid passport or identity card.

The group lessons and private lessons are generally in German. However all our teachers speak English and can teach in both languages.

On which days do group lessons take place?

Our group lessons take place daily. You can start any day.

At what age can I register my child?

Our experience is that children after 4 years old have the necessary strengh and motorik which will enable them to learn this sport quickly with lots of fun. Regarding snowboarding it is better for children after 8 years old.

If your children are younger and you want to introduce them to the sport  gently, we advice a private teacher.

Do I have to take the lessons on consecutive days?

It makes sense to take the lessons on consecutive days as the program is build up day after day. In case you cannot take the lessons daily  you might have to change to another group depending on the development of the group.

We have a maximum of 8 persons in a group.

Is the skipass included in the price of lessons?

The skipass is not included and can be bought at the various cablecar stations. For more information about prices: http//zugspitze.de/de/winter/preise/garmisch-classic/skifahrer.

For absolute beginners you can buy a pass for the beginners area in our skischool office or at the the cablecar stations.

We will give you the correct advice regarding your pass in the office.

Where is the meeting point? Where do I find my private teacher?

For group lessons we meet at 09.00 ready to start every morning at our meeting point 30 meters underneath the Hausberg cablecar station in the valley. There you will find a blue sign with the name „Sammelplatz Skischule Zugspitze-Grainau“.

The private teacher can also be met at our meeting point or according to the arrangement.

Where do the lessons take place?

Generally the group lessons are in the Garmisch Classic Skiarea. When the Garmisch Classic Area closes and we have enough participants we go with our groups on the Zugspitze.

If you register for private lessons you can decide personally if you want to go to the Garmisch Classic Area or on the Zugspitze.
