One thing is certain: quality, performance and price are right!
We are a non-profit organisation and do not charge you the actual costs, but a lower price. Thanks to our supporters, donors and sponsors, we are able to cross-finance the additional costs for the intensive support, the expensive special equipment and the increased organisational effort.
NEW!
Socially acceptable tariffs are very important to us! Our aim is to ensure that everyone, even those on a low income, can afford a skiing holiday with us. For this reason, we have introduced price variants consisting of 5 different social scales. We ask our guests to choose a price from a scale for the booked services according to their personal budget.
Important! You can choose freely between all prices without giving reasons.

Skiing with learning disabilities
Skiing is possible for everyone, e.g. for people with trisomy 21, autism, ADD and other learning disabilities! Special aids make it possible to automate certain movements, such as braking, and thus build up a muscle memory. This means that the student does not have to be able to follow clear instructions. Fun and safety are always in the foreground, so learning goes by itself!
Bi-Ski
People with various disabilities can ski a Bi-Ski. It is suitable, for example, for people with spastic paralysis, hemiplegia and craniocerebral trauma! Even people with the most severe physical and mental disabilities can practice the popular sport with this ski with the more or less support of a ski instructor. With the highly developed technology of the various Bi-Skis, nothing stands in the way of disabled skiing.
Mono-Ski
Mono skiing is the ideal winter sport for people with paraplegia or other mobility disabilities. People with good upper body coordination (e.g. cross-section up to approx. TH5) can ski the Mono-Ski. Depending on one’s own abilities, all slopes can be explored without limits. Both chair lifts and drag lifts can be used.
Skiing with visual impairment
Persons who are blind or visually impaired can learn to ski or further develop their skills through an individual guided tour method. The best method is worked out together with the student. Skiing for the blind is possible for people with various visual impairments.
Stand-up skiing with outrigger – Three-Track & Four-Track
People with amputations or a weakened body can use outrigger to practice the popular winter sport and learn how to ski through an individual teaching structure. Skiing with outrigger is possible on slopes of all levels of difficulty.
Skiing with traumatic brain injury/MS
Even people with traumatic brain injury, a stroke, multiple sclerosis or similar conditions can continue to enjoy this popular winter sport thanks to special aids.
