Courses for adults

You have never skied, but you are keen to try? Under professional guidance, you learn how to make those first turns on the piste in just a few hours. You find the optimum conditions to pick up techniques quickly and easily on Iltios. The beginner starter kit consists of a two-hour lesson and is available at an attractive combined price with the beginner pass and the equipment.

You have not been on skis for several years, but you learned to ski in the past? You have only ever heard other people speak of terms such as “carving” or “edge angle”? In the returnee course you learn modern ski techniques from the ground up. Because you already know the feeling of gliding on the slopes, you will need considerably less time than a beginner. With our competent ski instructors, you do not have to worry about getting back on the slopes. You can really enjoy beautiful mountains and snow sports again, perhaps even spending a day skiing in the mountains with your children or grandchildren. On Iltios you will find the perfect conditions for a confident comeback to snow sports.

You are athletic and do not want to miss out on the opportunity of open-air training in winter? With skate skiing you can glide through the wonderful winter landscape and decide for yourself whether to push on energetically or take it easy. The narrow skis demand balance and optimum coordination of movement. Our competent cross-country instructors on this course show you the fundamentals of the technique, and pretty soon you find yourself gliding independently along the cross-country trails.

You are already an advanced skier and can get down any slope? But you haven't yet mastered the modern carving technique with a cut track in the snow and no audible sliding phase? Then we'll be happy to familiarise you with it on the Völkl Carving Day and show you the differences between the "old" skiing technique and "modern" skiing. We will also explain to you how to move in an energy-saving and economical way so that you can enjoy your day of skiing in the mountains even more. You can also try out a Völkl test ski on this day.

Do you remember the skiing technique from old films showing well-dressed people gliding elegantly over white slopes, radiating a new attitude to life? Unfortunately, much of this elegance is relegated into the background by modern equipment, piste preparation and speed. But you appreciate elegance of movement over the snow and have not only speed as your objective? In our short turn technique course, we take up the topics of style and elegance once more and show you how you can still cut a fine figure whatever the terrain.

Do you dream of climbing snow-covered peaks on touring skis and then skiing across fresh, deep-snow slopes but have no previous experience? Learn the correct technique for ascending and descending. Be trained in how to use the slightly different equipment involved. We show you the skiing technique and the most important rules of behaviour in the terrain, provide LVS training and consolidate what you have learned in a natural way on a short ski tour.
