Upon payment for the course, the customer receives a course card, which they hand to the ski instructor before the course begins.

Extending the ski course is possible from the 3rd day onwards after attending a course, at the extension rate according to the price list.
Children and young people under 18 years of age need written consent from their parents or guardians if they are allowed to ski or snowboard independently without supervision after the ski course has ended, at their own risk.

5. Disclaimer

Participation in winter sports involves risks. By registering for courses offered by the Alpin Skischule , participants agree that participation is at their own risk and that, provided reasonable care is exercised, the ski and snowboard instructors and those responsible cannot be held liable.
The Alpin Skischule and the affiliated rental shop are not liable for accidents (before, during and after ski lessons or rentals) or injuries to course participants.
Unless a breach of contract is alleged to be intentional or grossly negligent, liability for damages is limited to foreseeable, typically occurring damages. This also applies if the Skischule culpably breaches a material contractual obligation. A material contractual obligation exists if the breach relates to an obligation on whose fulfillment the customer relied and was entitled to rely. Liability for culpable injury to life, body, or health remains unaffected.
Unless otherwise stipulated in the General Terms and Conditions, liability for damages is excluded – regardless of the legal basis of the claim. This applies in particular to claims for damages arising from culpa in contrahendo (fault in contract formation), other breaches of duty, or tortious claims for compensation for property damage pursuant to Section 823 of the German Civil Code (BGB). Where liability for damages is excluded or limited with respect to the contractual partner, this also applies to the personal liability for damages of employees, workers, staff, representatives, and vicarious agents. The aforementioned provisions do not entail any shift in the burden of proof to the detriment of the customer.
When registering for a course, the customer must truthfully and comprehensively inform the Alpin Skischule about his skills and experience in the relevant snow sport (skiing, snowboarding, cross-country skiing).
Please have your ski equipment checked before the start of your course. A properly functioning and correctly adjusted safety binding with ski brakes is particularly important. The instructors at the Alpin Skischule are not liable for damages resulting from incorrectly adjusted or faulty equipment.
Each participant bears the risks typically associated with sporting activities. Participants are advised to arrange their own personal insurance coverage. In addition, accident, personal liability, daily sickness allowance, and disability insurance are recommended.
Punctuality at the meeting point (ski course, private lessons) is the responsibility of the customer. The Skischule accepts no liability for late arrivals at the agreed meeting point. No refund or credit of the course fee will be issued for cancellations during a course or for no-shows.
All accidents, accident involvements, and incidents of damage (personal injury/property damage) that occur during the rental period (ski rental) or during the ski course (Skischule) must be reported to the ski rental company or the Skischule Alpin writing within 24 hours. Otherwise, the customer irrevocably waives any and all claims against the Skischule or rental company.

6. Cancellation policy / Withdrawal / Cancellation / Force majeure

Cancellation of a booked course by the customer is free of charge up to 2 days before the course begins. For cancellations after 9:00 a.m. on the day before the course, 100% of the course fees will be charged.
A refund of the course ticket in case of illness or injury can only be granted with a doctor's certificate.
No refund will be given for failure to appear at the agreed appointment or for cancellation of an ongoing service.
The Skischule strives to create the best possible external conditions for providing its services, but naturally cannot guarantee them. If exceptional weather or snow conditions make it wholly or partially impossible to provide the booked services, the Skischule accepts no liability for the resulting service cancellation. The Skischule is under no circumstances liable for or obligated to provide compensation for cable car and lift failures or any resulting service cancellations.
We reserve the right to cancel the course if the minimum number of participants is not reached. We will of course inform you of this and try to find an alternative.
