For movement lovers tall and small: refine your technique, win back your confidence, push into off-piste terrain — or simply cruise the most beautiful runs at the Arlberg, from laid-back to full-on. Kids and teens are very welcome.
Like many sports, good skiing is all about footwork — and that starts right at the bottom: discover the power of biomechanics, from your feet up.
Depending on what you prefer, we focus more or less intensively on your technique in our private session. And everyone learns in their own way: often it helps enormously to simply follow someone who skis a clean line with clean technique.
Whether we spend three hours or several days together, I'll help you take the next steps: towards off piste, deep snow or the park, more confidence in difficult conditions, a more elegant and safer way of skiing — or simply more fun and lightness from top to bottom.
How a movement feels from the inside and how it looks from the outside are two different angles — only together do they give the whole picture. I have lots of tools for that: targeted exercises, following me, pictures in your head — and video analysis if you want it. Video analysis in particular can be merciless and helpful at the same time. That's why, like everything else, I only use it when it adds to the fun of learning together and moves you forward.
Going off piste isn't one big leap — it's a path. We move between on and off piste and collect exactly the skills you need out there: line choice, rhythm, weighting and unweighting in changing snow, handling different snow conditions and gradients.
As soon as we head off piste, safety moves further into the foreground. We move with heightened risk awareness — switching between serious focus and pure fun.
Fancy more tricks and jumps? We look at where your basic technique — and with it your style — can level up, and how to bring your favourite freeski skills into play, from buttering and riding switch to a solid take-off.
Not just in the park at Rendl or in Lech, but anywhere we turn the mountain into our playground — and for me that definitely includes off piste: natural features, small drops, buttering in powder. Freestyle out of the park and into the backcountry.
Before the heel was fixed to the ski, everyone skied with a free heel. The telemark turn comes from the Norwegian region of the same name, where Sondre Norheim and co. carved the first turns into the slopes in the 19th century. Alpine skiing, with its fixed heel, grew out of those roots — and the Arlberg wrote a big part of that chapter.
Try telemark today and you'll learn a lot about your own skiing: balance, feel for the edge, movement from the legs — everything gets more honest. And the gear for it is now available right in Lech.
First we have a quick chat: what can you already do, what do you want to achieve, how much time do you have? Then I suggest an area and a meeting point — depending on where you're staying and on the conditions, that might be Lech, Zürs, St. Anton or the Sonnenkopf — but just as well Stuben, Warth and Schröcken, or somewhere else entirely.
A session lasts either three hours or a full day. Several days in a row usually get you furthest, because then we can really stick with something.
Whether it's three hours of fine-tuning your technique or a whole week at the Arlberg — drop me a line, and we'll work out together what's possible.
