Group Allocation & Meeting Point

Classification levels for ski and snowboard courses

In our group ski courses, participants are assigned to groups tailored to their needs. We use a system where the grouping is based on age and skiing experience. This assignment is continuously monitored by our area managers and adjusted if necessary to ensure that every child and adult is in the appropriate group.

This quick but thorough allocation process saves valuable course time, thereby maximising the time spent skiing around the beautiful pistes this region can offer. The tuition will be great fun with our international instructors and by the end of the week you will also be able to see huge progress in your skiing ability. So being part of the Ski School Obergurgl means you will enhance your overall skiing experience.

How do I find my group?

After a quick talk with one of our area managers you can immediately join a group. As our adults and children’s meeting places are right next to one another, dropping the kids off at ski school first is no problem. Just leave your children in the capable hands of their instructor and slip straight back into your own group.

Meeting Points

Children in the beginner course and 3-year-olds meet at either the Wiesental, Hochfirst, or Grünerhof meeting point. The beginner area is located at the Wiesental or Hochfirst meeting points. Choose the meeting point that is more accessible or closer for you.

Children with more than 2 weeks of skiing experience, adults, and all snowboarders always meet at the Grünerhof meeting point.

Notes for Parents

If your children are attending the beginner course, you can also drop them off at the Grünerhof meeting point. Our child supervisors will then take the children to the Wiesental meeting point so that you can be on time for your course.
