General information

The right ski course – for every level

Assess your level

The Schweitzer Team Munich would like to challenge and support you individually, according to your personal skiing ability and experience. That is why we describe the division into course levels and the respective teaching content in great detail. In line with the snow sports philosophy of the German Ski Instructors’ Association, the course classes have different colours, corresponding to the respective slope markings. This makes it easier for you to choose the individually suitable course class – but we are also happy to advise you at any time!
