Beginner to professional - something for everyone

Skiing, carving, freeriding or snowboarding - you can learn all this at the Grossglockner/Heiligenblut snow sports school or at the private ski school in Heiligenblut. Learn from the pros, no matter what sports equipment you are using. In the ski kindergarten, the little ones learn the basics of skiing. From the age of 4, they then meet in the children's ski course. The alpine skiing or snowboarding courses are more sporty. Private lessons provide the fastest learning success. All details about the two ski schools can be found here.
