Where is the location of Hopsi-Land?

Hochwurzen

Our Hopsi-Land on the Hochwurzen is directly in front of the Hotel Schwaigerhof in Rohrmoos and is also easily accessible by car. Point 8 in the overview board.

Planai

On the Planai, Hopsi-Land is near the top station. This means you have to take the gondola to the very top and from there it's only about 100 metres to the "meeting point". After the classification, the children go with the Hopsi-Express to the "Hopsi-Land".

 

How are the groups divided for children's ski courses?

Group divisions depend on your child's size, ability, language and age. If you feel your child needs to move to a different group, please contact the relevant ski instructor.

To simplify the grouping, 4 flags are placed in this area where the assigned ski instructor is already waiting for the children.

Hochwurzen

The individual groups are assigned in Hopsi-Land, at the Schwaiger lift in Rohrmoos.

Planai

The groups on the Planai are allocated at the Meeting Point near the Planai mountain station (approx. 100m away).

Can our children be in a group together?

In our ski school, children are primarily allocated according to their skiing ability and age. If your children or friends of yours can ski at about the same level, please let our office know when booking or in advance. We will do our best!

If the children do not ski equally well, the child who skis better would have to show consideration for the weaker one!

Do you have to book several days for children?

You can also book individual days. If you want to extend the course, you only have to pay the difference.

Is it possible to book the lunchtime supervision for individual days?

Yes, it is not a problem to book the lunchtime supervision from day to day.

How old do the children have to be to take part in the ski course?

Our children's ski courses are for children from the age of four.

Are there also half-day ski courses for children?

We generally recommend booking a full day. Depending on the ability and age of the child - and the booked children's ski course - the times vary between 2 and 5 ½ hours.

Of course, everything is possible. Please contact us under the telephone number +43 664 88 76 76 90
