How is lunchtime supervision organized?

Lunchtime supervision takes place at "Loisi's Boutique Hotel" (formerly "Zillertalerhof") - directly opposite Bobo's Kids Haus.
The rate of € 28 includes food, drink and supervision from 12 to 1.30 pm.
There is a defined meal plan for the whole week (more information in the office). Specially trained teachers are always assigned to this. Various allergies must be communicated at the time of booking, preferably in writing

Which languages of instruction are offered?

Group courses:

  • We have a large proportion of German-speaking guests (almost 90%) throughout the season, so we mainly teach in German.
  • During the Dutch vacations (Christmas and mainly Crocus) we also have a large proportion of Dutch guests. During this time, separate Dutch groups are usually formed and assigned to a Dutch-speaking teacher (if available).
  • Alternatively, of course, we also teach in English. Nevertheless, we usually have no problems with language barriers in the children's group courses.

Private lessons:

  • We are happy to accommodate your wishes as far as possible. Due to the sometimes large number of students, we are unfortunately not always able to accommodate special language requests.

Can our children be in a group together?

If they are the same age and have the same driving skills, we will certainly be able to fulfill your wishes. Please get in touch with us!

Is it possible to join a course during the week?

  • In principle, the grouping takes place on Sunday and Monday. Beginners can only start on these two days. (Exception Christmas). Depending on your learning progress, it is possible to join an existing group after one or two private lessons.
  • Advanced students can join an existing group at any time until Wednesday.
  • Friday (except Christmas) & Saturday are course-free days. Private lessons and supergroups are possible.

When is the ski school office open?

Here you will find our opening hours.

What events await our children?

Bobo Party:

  • Every Tuesday at 3:45 pm (except mid-season) at Bobo's Kids Haus
