Courses

The Ski School Vigo di Fassa und Karerpass has been entrusted with the mark Gold Quality from the Ski Instructors Association of Trentino. This acknowledgement certifies the endless effort and passion in teaching children.

The Ski School offers a rich collective course programme, both for adults and for children. Collective ski lessons are the ideal choice if you want to learn skiing and have fun together with other people. If you prefer learning or improving your ski-technique with your personal ski instructor, individual lessons are available as well. The price of both collective and private lessons includes a specific insurance, covering medical assistance and the not attended ski-course’s refund. The insurance does not cover illness.

Individual Ski Lessons

Every day our ski instructors are at your disposal to individually teach any ski-technique: carving, professional skiing, telemark, freestyle and snowboard. We also have instructors specialized in disabled and children ski-teaching. Lessons are available in following languages: Italian, German, English, French, Spanish and Russian. As concerns individual lessons, you are given the opportunity to choose a favourite ski instructor. Private ski lessons are carried out from 8.30 to 10 am, or after 1.30 pm. Lessons are usually held in the enchanting framework of Catinaccio. On request and by advanced booking individual lessons can be carried out also at Ski Area Carezza.

Collettive Ski Lessons

What about spending pleasant moments by skiing in company with other people? Our ski school offers a wide choice of collective courses, both for adults and for children. The collective courses are especially taught for those who want to learn and improve their ski-technique with an easier and amusing approach, instead of attending a frontal lesson. All collective courses last 5 or 6 days, and every day the meeting point is set at Ski Area Ciampedie, which is easily reachable by taking Catinaccio cable car departing from Vigo di Fassa or by means of Vajolet chairlifts from Pèra di Fassa. The meeting point of both collective courses and individual lessons is at the arrival station of Catinaccio cable car. On the flatland of Ciampedie you will see 4 little flags, placed at a short distance from each other, indicating the starting and arrival point of groups: Squirrels, Bear Cubs, Eaglets and Kestrels. Ski Area Ciampedie enables families to comfortably leave and collect their children at very easy-to-reach points. Last but not least, as many as five Alpine refuges are located within easy walking distance. Here you can pamper yourself and please your palate with the specialties of our local traditional cuisine!! Groups are composed according to following levels:
