Ski school in Oberstdorf: book your ski lessons

Looking for a ski school in Oberstdorf? Request your ski lessons here for the Nebelhorn, Fellhorn/Kanzelwand or Söllereck and we find you a place at a local ski school. According to the official OK Bergbahnen website, there are ski schools at every valley station in Oberstdorf and the Kleinwalsertal.

Lesson types and indicative prices

• Group lesson (2 h) – you learn with other students of a similar level. It is the usual way to start and to keep improving over several days in a row. Indicative price: €42 per day.
• Private lesson (2 h) – the instructor works with you alone, at your pace. A good choice if you want to progress quickly, fix something specific or would rather not start in a group. Indicative price: €89 per day.
• Lessons for children – group (€42 per day) or private (€89 per day), indicative prices. The minimum age and the lesson format are confirmed by the ski school.

When you book you choose your level: Beginner (never skied or only a little), Intermediate (you ski blue and red runs linking turns) or Advanced (you want to polish your technique on red and black runs). The indicative price is the same for all three levels.

Indicative prices for ski lessons in Oberstdorf (2026/27)

Each day is a 2-hour lesson. The indicative total is the daily price multiplied by the number of days: there is no multi-day discount. We confirm the final price before the lesson.

How the request works, in 4 steps

1. Choose your level (Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced or Children), the lesson type (group or private, 2 hours) and the days.
2. Send the request without paying anything: it is 0% online.
3. We find a place at a local ski school in Oberstdorf and email you the school, the meeting point, the time and the final price, always before the lesson.
4. Pay for the lesson at the ski school, directly. If we can't find a place, we tell you and you pay nothing.

Cancelling the request costs nothing as long as we haven't confirmed it. Once it is confirmed, we include the ski school's cancellation terms in the confirmation.

What the lesson does not include

• Lift pass: not included, you buy it separately. In the 2026/27 season, a one-day pass for the whole ski area costs €72.90 for adults and €31.30 for children (born 2011–2020), plus a €3 deposit for the card, according to the official OK Bergbahnen website.
• Equipment: skis, boots, poles and helmet are not included either. You can book ski hire in Oberstdorf and ski clothing hire.

Tip: at Christmas, at Easter and at weekends ski schools fill up sooner. Send your request early to get more choice of times.
