Ski lessons
At the Gosau Ski School for adults and children
We are happy to organize group and private ski lessons for children and adults with the Ski School Gosau. Registrations for ski lessons in advance are very welcome by e-mail to our reception (welcome@dachsteinkoenig.at). A booking in advance for your desired course is recommended, because your desired course model may only be available for alternative course times within a booking during your stay.
Toddler ski course
For children aged 2.5 to 3, our Zwergerl ski course for little ones takes place from Sunday to Friday, 10:00 am to 12:00 noon (in the hotel garden, snow conditions permitting). You can reach the Zwergerl slope directly via the exit next to the fitness room. Complete beginners are welcome to join the Zwergerl ski course on any day. If there is not enough snow in the valley, the course takes place in the ski area opposite the hotel, and the Godei Express takes the children there safely. Please make sure your children arrive at the course with their full equipment. No ski pass is required for this course. Participation is only possible with prior registration.
Group ski courses for teenagers & children, from the age of 5
This 3-hour ski course takes place from Sunday to Friday, 9:30 am to 12:30 pm, in the ski area.
When booking this course, please let us know your child's skiing level. The Godei Express takes your children safely to the meeting point. Beginners can start the group course on Sunday or Monday, while improvers and advanced skiers can join at any time. Please make sure your children arrive at the course with their full equipment.
You can buy your lift pass at the hotel reception, online at www.dachstein.at or at the Hornspitz Express valley station.
Group ski course for adults
The group ski course for adults takes place from Monday to Wednesday, 10:00 am to 12:30 pm. Each day, the group meets at 9:45 am at the Gosau ski school meeting point, on the opposite side of the road. Beginners can start the adult course on Mondays, while more experienced skiers can join at any time. You will need a ski pass for this course. If the group continues beyond Wednesday, the course can be extended to Thursday and Friday. Please note that the Godei Express primarily takes children attending ski school to the meeting point. If there are any seats left on the Godei Express, you are of course welcome to ride along.
Private ski courses for children, teenagers and adults
On your own, with friends or with family – adults, teenagers or children – whether on skis, a snowboard or cross-country skis, the private lessons at the Gosau ski school cater to all your wishes for individual, professional coaching. As beginners, you will learn faster and enjoy snow sports right from the start; as advanced skiers or pros, you can improve your technique quickly and in a targeted way. On the first day of your course, your instructor will be happy to pick you up directly at the hotel if you wish.
Bambini ski course
In the Bambini course at Fredy-Land, your little speedsters aged 3 to around 5 discover the fun world of skiing in a playful, child-friendly way, from Sunday to Friday. Instructors from the Gosau ski school guide your children through their very first turns in small groups. Supported by modern learning aids in the colourful, varied children's areas, your kids learn to ski true to our motto "learning through play". Courses start on Sunday or Monday.
You can buy your lift pass at the hotel reception, online at www.dachstein.at or at the Hornspitz Express valley station.
