FAQ

Should I take group or private lessons?

Private lessons are more intensive and meets special individual needs. On the other hand with group you will feel the spirit of winter vacation, have fun, meet new friends and learn how to ski or snowboard at the same time.

For children it works the same. In group they are usually trying harder, having great time with children from all over the world, learnig how to ski and playing at the same time.

Can I have lessons together with my child?

We don't recommend it and we have following reason for it. There is a difference in teaching children and adults. Adults understand what the center of gravity means, how to transfer the weight, what is a snow plow etc. But children don't and there is no need for that. We have many games and metaphors that help children with the learning process and we have different tools for adults.

Am I too young or too old to learn how to ski/snb?

We teach skiing children from 3/4 years old (depends on the maturity).

We teach snowboarding children from 6 years old (depends on the maturity and preferable private lessons)

And you are never too old !!!

Why do we have only 4 days / 5 days skipas in ski / snb beginners package?

Beginners need to learn how to stop and make the basic turns before they take a lift and ski/snb on the regular ski slope. That is why we have beginners areas at the end of the ski slopes. Skiers stay there usually for 2 days snowboarders only 1 day, so then skiers need only 4 days skipass and snowboarders 5 days skipass.

How does the skikindergarten work?

Skikindergarten opens at 9:00, but mostly children are coming at 10:00 when the lessons start. Children are divided in groups regarding their age, skiing level and language. They have lessons from 10:00 to 12:00. Then you can either pick your child up and bring him/her back at 14:00 or he/she can stay with the group during lunch break (for an extra cost). The group goes together to have a lunch and then they stay in our play room where they stay the rest of the break. At 14:00 we start the afternoon lessons and at 16:00 is the skikindergarten closed.

If I rent skies/snowboard for 6 days do I have to bring them back to the rental shop every night?

No you have the skies/snowboard for the whole period.

I don't want to carry my skies or snowboard to the hotel and back everyday...

Use DEPOT !!!!  By the chairlift in Svaty Petr is a huge DEPOT where you can leave your skies, snowboards, boots, shoes and even a backpack !!

Can I park my car by your ski school?

If you are coming with car to Spindleruv Mlyn for the whole week we recommend you to keep it parked by your hotel or pension and use skibuses or just walk.

If you need to drive please park your car by Hromovka lift (next to the bus station) or by Medvedin lift. These parkings are for free during a day, but they fill fast.

You cannot park in Svaty Petr !!!! If you can ski you can park at Hromovka, take the Hromovka chairlift and ski to Svaty Petr.
