Where can I find the Stoked Ski and Snowboard School?

Our booking centre is centrally located in the village at Bahnhofstrasse 50, right next to the post office and Ochsner Sport.

Can I pay on site or does payment have to be made in advance?

We request binding payment in advance.

What happens in the event of illness or accident?

Please note that in the event of illness, accident or other circumstances preventing the guest from travelling, there is no entitlement to a refund.

As a beginner, do I need a ski pass?

The Sunnegga funicular takes you directly to the sunny beginners' area above Zermatt. Tickets are available at the valley station or online.

The Wolli beginner park at Leisee is the ideal place for your first skiing experiences. 

If you would like to explore more easy slopes with your snow sports instructor, we recommend the beginner ski pass. It covers selected facilities and blue slopes on Sunnegga–Blauherd and enables safe, step-by-step learning.

How many lessons do I need as a beginner?

Good question. One lesson will introduce you to the basics of the equipment, controlling speed and turning. You will need more than one lesson before you can safely head out onto the slopes. We’d suggest a minimum of 3 half days to start. That way you get time to practice and learn.

Can we postpone the course in bad weather?

Skiing and snowboarding is an outdoor sport. Therefore our lessons take place in any weather conditions. In case all lift facilities are closed due to exceptional weather conditions or other force majeure circumstances, it is reserved by Stoked Management to cancel the course. In this case please refer to our terms and conditions.

Will I get a money refund if I do not like ski lessons?

Nein. Im Falle, dass sie den Stoked Ski oder Snowboardkurs nicht mögen, bitten wir Sie uns zu kontaktieren und die Gründe dafür darzulegen. Das Stoked Management ist bemüht eine bestmögliche Lösung oder Alternative zu finden, damit sie mit viel Spass das Ski oder Snowboardfahren erlernen kann.

Do I get a money refund if cannot participate at a course due to illness?

Only with a doctor’s note.

What useful information about my skills should I provide during a booking?

The more information we have, the better we can emphasize on the best possible experience for you.
