From the impressive waterfall of the Gasteiner Ache, things slow down a bit. Shortly before the finish, there are some splashy sections where staying dry will not be an option.

Enjoy a day of skiing with a professional guide in the Austrian Alps. Benefit from the expertise of a local who knows the best slopes and mountain huts. Ski more slopes, more easily, with a wider variety of slopes and skiing styles. Benefit from Hajo's subtle tips for better, more playful skiing. Hajo favors a natural style of skiing that is gentle on the knees and saves you tons of energy. He is capable of addressing issues of various levels of skiers at the same time, so you can all ski as a group and reap the benefits individually. Hajo offers guiding in the true sense: he guides you around the ski area, along the right slopes for your level, so you will naturally start to ski better. Hajo has worked many years as a traditional ski instructor, but especially after taking to yoga and other free movement styles, he stopped teaching in the classic sense of the word. It's your holiday, not school! You are free! You shouldn't be on a slope where you don't feel totally comfortable, and in good terrain with the proper (rental) equipment, you will naturally become a better skier or snowboarder. As your guide Hajo will certainly also assist with getting you the right rental equipment. If you feel a more traditional approach to ski teaching or classic group lessons are the right thing for you, please then address a traditional ski school which there are several in each Austrian skiing valley. If you care to go for offpiste tour skiing or snowboarding with Hajo (who is an excellent freerider), there will be an additional fee for an extra licensed mountain guide who will join us for reasons of safety and insurance (and extra fun).
