Payment

We accept cash in CHF as well as MasterCard, Visa, Maestro, Postcard, TWINT and V PAY.

Lessons

The lessons take place in all weather conditions. If the minimum number is not reached, classes can be combined or the offer can be adapted. It is necessary to bring avalanche equipment (rucksack with avalanche transceiver, shovel, probe) for off-piste courses.

Tickets for private and group lessons, cancellations, refunds

The lessons must be paid for before the start of the course and are then considered 'booked' and the course place is confirmed. For online payment of the reserved lessons, you will receive a link to your personal customer portal with all information by e-mail from the ski school. Payments in the ski school offices and in the shop are also possible.

Confirmed reservations are binding. Non-appearance/non-observance of the booked times will be charged at the full price.

Class lesson tickets are non-transferable.

Other events such as unfavourable weather, blocked access roads, railway disruptions, etc. do not justify a refund.

In the case of cancellations up to 24 hours before the start of the lesson, the lessons paid for will be refunded, with a deduction of CHF 12.00 per day of lessons.

Cancellations less than 24 hours before the start of the lesson, without a medical certificate from a local doctor, will not be refunded.

In the case of cancellations less than 24 hours before the start of lessons, in the event of illness or accident, a refund of the lessons paid can be requested from the ski school office on presentation of a medical certificate (within 5 days) from a local doctor, less CHF 12.00 per day of lessons.

If a course is cancelled during a lesson (e.g. due to injury), no refund will be made for that day. With a medical certificate from a local doctor, a refund of the remaining paid lessons will be made, with a deduction of CHF 12.00 per day of lessons.

In case of cancellation of rental of cross-country skiing equipment at the Swiss Cross-Country Centre Pontresina, the same conditions apply as for lessons with regard to deadlines, refunds and deductions.

Insurance is the responsibility of the participants. The Swiss Ski School Corvatsch-Pontresina AG does not assume any liability for accidents which occur during lessons, on Ausflügen, during examinations or races.
