Ski schools in the region

If you are looking for the cost of a ski course, it varies depending on the ski resort, time of season, course duration (half or full day), group size (private courses are more expensive than group courses) and the age of the participants. Here are some average prices that you can use as a guide:
For children, group courses often start at around 60-100 euros for a half-day beginner course. If you want to book a whole week of lessons for your child, expect to pay around 200 to 300 euros.
As an adult, you can expect similar prices for group courses, although adult courses can sometimes be a little more expensive.
Private lessons are significantly more expensive, here you can expect to pay between 60 and 150 euros per hour. A full-day private course can cost you up to 300-400 euros.
These prices are general guidelines and can change depending on the ski school and season. It is worth asking the ski schools in the Salzburger Sportwelt directly for the current prices or checking online. Also look out for package deals, which often combine course fees and equipment rental and can therefore be cheaper.

Prices for ski rental can vary greatly depending on the type of equipment you want to rent (for example standard, premium or advanced models), the rental period and whether you book in advance or directly on site.

In general, you can expect to pay around 30 to 50 euros per day for a basic adult ski set (usually including skis, boots and poles), although prices may be higher for premium equipment or additional equipment such as helmets. Many stores also offer discounts for multi-day rentals, and sometimes there are special offers for children or groups.

To get the most accurate and up-to-date prices, it is recommended to visit the official websites of the ski rental stores in the Salzburger Sportwelt or contact them directly. They often offer detailed price lists and sometimes have the option to book online, which can sometimes secure cheaper prices than booking on site.

The Pongauer Perchtenlauf does not take place in Bischofshofen as usual in the other three communities on January 6, but on the following Sunday. The reason for this is the annual Epiphany ski jumping as the conclusion of the Four Hills Tournament.
