Skischule Kitzbühel Rote Teufel — Attraction in Kitzbühel

Myself and my two children (one autistic and one has ADHD) had the most wonderful week skiing with Rote Teufel. All the instructors were warm, approachable and empathetic to the children's needs and never complained once about a few occasions where due to our family's neurodiversity, they definitely needed to go above and beyond the call of duty!

Of the names I recall Victor was incredibly kind, calm and reassuring and nurtured my children's skills wonderfully in the first two days, also Tom and Johnathan were excellent too. Very warm, friendly and great Instructors. The children were able to learn well and were instructed thoughtfully and patiently.

Having a team of highly experienced Managers, coordinators and Instructors to support the team fully like Felix, and Susie was also super reassuring. They clearly know what they are doing here and support all the children at all their stages really well. For example, my daughter had to go back a couple of stages the next day, but she was supported and encouraged so patiently that it was not an issue despite her dented ego!

Both my children were ready on Tuesday to head up the mountain with the other children. As above, Sunday and Monday we're spent in Kinderland learning the basics and ski passes were not needed for this. For this time of year the 3+1 Ski passes were excellent value and meant they could go up the mountain Tuesday to Friday. Being late in the season, preparing for all weather's was a must. Beaming sunshine at the start of the week was followed by lower temperatures and snow at the end. Such a contrast but all made possible by patient and professional Ski Instructors, for whom nothing was a problem.

The race on the Thursday was energetically commentated by the awesome Felix who had supportive and candid words to encourage all in what must have been a first Ski race for many children! My children love their bronze and silver medals and have them hung on their beds at home now!

I extend my sincerest thanks to all who are involved in making this Ski School the wonderful and fun learning environment it is, and highly recommended Rote Teufel to all parents!

The patience and care has supported a massive boost in my children's confidence and self esteem. Go team Rote Teufel!

Communicate well with the team as you would with any school and they are only too happy to accommodate. I truly hope we will be...

Great experience. I signed up for the three day adult beginner course, then added one extra day. On the first day, the group was divided by ability (some people had some previous experience). I was put with instructor Tom. We did two hours on the slope at the bottom then had a break , then continued to learn getting the basics down (snow plough and turning). Day two we headed up into the mountains and it was an amazing introduction to some of the blue slopes. We started to learn skiing parallel and using the chair lifts!

The third day was my most challenging, Tom had quite a big group that day and managed to look after us all but he was also trying to teach us parallel turns so lots of new skills to get down. I was quite tired by the end of the day following some falls and Tom was great at letting me take it at my own pace whilst we explored different slopes

I signed up for a fourth day which cost €75, and asked to go in one of the less experience/ a slower pace group and was put with Casper. This was a brilliant day, Casper helped build my confidence by taking me and the group repeatedly down the same few slopes. Casper also looked after another student who was sick and ensured she was taken care of. I really felt I made great progress with my parallel turning which gave me confidence to explore the slopes with friends on the next two days.

Some tips that might be useful to know ahead of time if you're booking classes that I couldn't find beforehand: Rent your skis from somewhere near the practice field, it's a bit of a walk when you're not used to ski boots (promise it gets easier as the days go by) If you are a beginner, it's unlikely you will need a ski pass on the first day as the slopes at the bottom are free. (Save around €50). You can easily buy them on the day if this changes. You will fall, and that's ok. I would recommend trying to attain a good base fitness level as it makes it easier to pick yourself back up and carry on. To prevent falling, lean towards the valley!

Thanks to Brian who oversees the adult beginner instructors, Tom and Casper for a brilliant introduction to skiing. I'd definitely recommend getting...

Absolutely 5 stars for Rote Teufel ski school and mountain guide in Kitzbühel.

Our friends had recommended this ski school for private 3 hour session and we were so pleased we used them.

Initially we arranged the booking via email and Viktoria in the front office was very patient and prompt replying to my questions and providing options - as our requested instructor was not available, and it was one of the busiest weeks of the season.

We were assigned Andy - who is a highly experienced (18 years of instructing at Kitzbuhl) and he was absolutely perfect for our family of 3 adults - 2 x 55+, and a 23yo.

He asked what we wanted to achieve in the 3 hour session and then planned the session to ensure everything was covered.

Andy took us on 30kms of skiing- over many different runs to show us how the resort fits together, gave us very helpful instruction, and also a bit of history of Kitzbuhl - and was so patient and pleasant throughout. We felt very well looked after and never felt unsafe or pushed beyond our abilities - even on more difficult blacks.

It was our first day in Kitzbuhl and their location near the main gondola base was super convenient. Although we chose to meet at the top of the gondola as wanted to do some warm up runs before the session.

Thank you Andy and Rote Teufel. We highly recommend the service! To us - it...
