Do the ski lessons have to be followed consecutively for days?

The days must be followed one after the other, because the group always continues with the program. If the lessons aren’t followed one after the other, there will be a difference in level. In this case it is always possible to change groups. 

What happens if my child losses the group?

Our ski instructors will of course do everything to ensure that the group stays together. Every teacher has learned in his education how to do this. The children have also learned in class what to do if they lose the group. 

Should a child lose the group, the skischool leader will be contacted immediately and all other teachers will be informed. There are also agreements and collaborations with other ski schools to ensure that the child returns to his group as quickly as possible.
