The Ski School in Disentis is based in Hotel Sax. You find this hotel taking the road to Sedrun from the Cable car. Then take the first road on you right hand side. The office is on ground level on the left if you stand in front of hotel Sax. There are four levels: The green, blue, red and black leagues. In every league you have sub-grouping going from ‘prince’, ‘king’ to ‘star’.
There are a lot of ski teachers speaking German, French, Dutch and a little Italian as well.
For beginners the slope near Hotel Sax, ‘skiwiese Sax’ is used. A nice magic carpet is available for the very beginners and for those having a little more experience a larger slope plus lift is available.
Once ski- turns can be taken and one knows how to slow down and stop the pupils go up with the cable car to the mountain.
On the mountain you have the Ponylift which has really nice benches alongside for the parents to watch their children. The operators are really friendly guys helping every kid in need onto the lift.
Another rather small lift is the ‘Palius’ which is an ‘anchor’lift taking two skiers at once. This slope has some more challenges for those learning to ski.
At the end of the week the kids compete in a downhill race. Every time this is a highlight for the kids. They can win a gold, silver or bronze medal. The times are recorded and the races are commented by a genuine race commentator.
After the race the kids get their evaluation in a booklet. Sometimes they pass, sometimes they need more practice and are advised to take the same level again.
Private lessons and lessons for adults are also available. Information on the ski school in the office in Hotel Sax.
