What to expect from your family ski lesson in Davos Klosters

Initial advice & area choice
From the very first contact, we advise you personally so you start on the right mountain with the best conditions for your level. Based on goals, snow, and weather we’ll choose Parsenn, Jakobshorn, Rinerhorn, Pischa, or Madrisa.

Equipment & rental
On request, we arrange your ski rental (skis, boots, poles, helmet) and advise on the ideal setup.

Flexible meeting points
Choose where to meet your private instructor: your hotel, the base station (e.g., Parsennbahn Davos Dorf, Jakobshornbahn Davos Platz, Gotschnabahn Klosters, Rinerhornbahn Glaris), or on the mountain.

Kick-off & goal setting
At the start, you and your instructor align on your goals for the day. A short technique check helps tailor terrain and drills precisely. If family members have different levels, the instructor will organize the group accordingly and adjust activities as everyone progresses — since children often learn faster than adults.

Personal coaching with ongoing feedback
Throughout the lesson, you receive clear, actionable feedback after each run or segment: concise corrections, targeted drills, and rhythm & timing cues — optionally with on-slope video feedback. Improvements are applied immediately.

Lunch—already reserved
Your instructor takes care of the lunch reservation at a suitable hut or panoramic restaurant along the route.

Afternoon progress & short wrap-up
You transfer what you’ve learned to new slopes or conditions (steeper terrain, different snow, higher speed) with continuous coaching. A brief wrap-up provides key takeaways and recommendations for your next ski days or a follow-up lesson.
