Safe in the ski school

The ski and snowboard schools are ready to start! In order to ensure that the lessons are carried out safely, the ski schools have worked intensively on the implementation of the official safety measures and have drawn up specific safety concepts.

The ski instructors have been trained in these specific protective measures. The teams of the ski schools will do their utmost to make the individual lessons as safe as possible. The health of all participants is the main focus here.

#wearesnowell #enjoywinter #staysafe #takecare

  • Find out about the situation in the ski area before your ski holidays.
    On this page SNOWELL offers you useful tips & links to the respective ski areas.
  • Pay attention to the tips and information in the holiday resort and ski area from cable cars, tourist information, accommodations, restaurants, shops, etc.
  • Always play it safe and wear your own mouth-and-nose protector. In addition to the usual mouth-nose protection masks, multifunctional scarves, ski masks, bandanas, buffs, tube scarves, etc. are also considered to be mouth-nose protection. Important: mouth and nose must be completely covered!
    Most ski schools also sell mouth and nose protection.
  • If you book your ski lessons online via SNOWELL, you can pick up the detailed information about the lesson at the respective ski school as soon as you arrive.
    Please wear a mouth-and-nose protector here too. The ski school will then inform you about the locally applicable protective measures.
  • If you have symptoms that could indicate a possible COVID-19 infection (e.g. fever, cough, sore throat, loss of sense of taste/smell) stay in your accommodation and contact the ski school, your accommodation and SNOWELL.
  • Please show personal responsibility and protect your own health and that of your fellow human beings.

Comparison of the protection measures of ski schools in Austria, Germany, Switzerland, France and Italy showed a high degree of agreement. The details of the protection concepts per country are shown below.

  • Safety distance
    France + Italy = 1m
    Switzerland + Germany = 1.5m
    Austria = 2m
  • Mandatory wearing of mouth-nose protection masks
    Germany + Italy = from 6 years
    Austria = from 6 years, from 14 years FFP2 mask
    France = 11 years and over
    Switzerland = from 12 years
  • Each participant must confirm his or her current state of health on the first day of the lessons with his or her signature.
  • A mouth and nose protector must be worn in the ski school interiors. The safety distance must be maintained.
  • Hand disinfectants are available in all rooms of the ski schools.
  • Regular corona tests of ski instructors and staff (weekly in Austria and Switzerland).
  • Mouth and nose protection is only to be worn on the slopes if the safety distance cannot be kept. Individual ski schools may also require that masks be worn during the entire lesson.
  • Spatial extension and marking of meeting points and staggered course starts.
  • Group size
    Austria + Switzerland = max. 10 persons including ski instructor
    Germany = max. 9 persons including ski instructor
    Group changes should be avoided as far as possible

  • When entering the restaurants up to the reserved table and also when leaving the table, a mouth and nose protector must be worn. Breaks and lunches are staggered. Do not share your own food/drink.
  • In the queues and the use of cable cars, chair or drag lifts, the rules of the mountain railways apply. Predominantly masks are compulsory.
  • If the ski school offers its own transport, a mouth and nose protector must be worn like in public transport..
  • Ski and final races take place at most ski schools. We recommend that spectators wear a mouth and nose protector.
  • If symptoms occur during a lesson, the person concerned will go to the accommodation immediately or will be picked up by the parents. It is important that they can be reached at all times.
  • If a participant tests positive for Covid-19, the contact persons of the same lesson will be informed immediately.
