Questions & Answers

The ski school is located in Bidmi. You can only get to Bidmi by Ski-Häsli taxi (timetable) or by gondola lift from Hasliberg Reuti. If you are traveling by car, you can drive to Hasliberg Twing and take the Ski-Häsli taxi, or you can park in Meiringen and take the large gondola lift to Hasliberg Reuti. There is a limited number of parking spaces in Hasliberg Reuti, which can fill up quickly when there are a lot of visitors.

You can cancel your ski course free of charge up to 24 hours before the start of the course. Any payments already made will be refunded minus a 5% processing fee or in the form of a voucher for the value of the course fee. Cancellations made less than 24 hours before the start of the course will incur 100% of the course fees. To cover short-term illness, we recommend that you take out cancellation insurance:PassProtect forCHF 4/day per person.

Equipment (skis, snowboard, boots, etc.) is not included in the course and should be organized independently. An exception is made for the snowboard taster course.

If you are unable to attend classes in whole or in part due to illness or accident, you are not entitled to a refund or to make up the course if you do not cancel at least 24 hours before the start of the course. We therefore recommend that you take out cancellation insurance: PassProtect forCHF 4/day per person.

If you are unsure which level is right for you, the videos on our website will help you assess this. We would also be happy to advise you personally by email or phone.

Parents don't necessarily have to ski and can take part in the course wearing good winter boots. Of course, it's even more fun with skis. 😊

A break day between course days is generally possible.
Please note that our prices for group courses apply to consecutive course days. The days after the break are not included in the original price; the entry price applies.

If you are unsure whether you or your child will enjoy the ski school, you are welcome to book a trial day. If you decide to extend the course, we will deduct the cost of the trial day from the total course price.

We kindly ask you to register by 2:00 p.m. the day before at the latest at our ski school counter in Bidmi, by phone, or by email.

Lessons will take place even in bad weather.
In the event of restricted operations due to strong winds or storms, the situation will be assessed on a case-by-case basis. If a course cannot take place, we will provide information about any alternative program on our website in good time.

Non-ski school students can use the facilities for a sponsorship fee of CHF 25 per season. Commercial groups and individual guests can use the small lifts at Mägisalp with a valid mountain railway ticket.

From Blue Star level onwards, ski poles are required for the course. At Blue King/Queen level, ski poles may be necessary during the course. The instructor will inform you if this is the case.

Our group courses are generally conducted in Swiss German. We will, of course, provide information in English to non-German-speaking guests wherever possible. If there are enough registrations, groups speaking only English, French, or Dutch can also be formed. However, we cannot guarantee this.

In private lessons, we take individual language needs into account. Whenever possible, we assign a teacher who speaks the desired language.

Participants in the Blue Prince/Princess program do not need a ski pass at the start of the course. The instructor will let you know when you will need a ticket for the slopes. A valid train ticket to Bidmi is therefore sufficient to start the course.

All courses start at Bidmi unless you have agreed on a specific meeting point with us for your private lessons. Here you will find a map showing the respective meeting points. You will also find this document in your booking confirmation.

For private lessons, we will try to schedule your preferred teacher whenever possible.
For group lessons, the allocation is complex and depends on several factors, so unfortunately we cannot take individual requests into account.
