Private Lessons – personal coaching
With a private lesson, you get personal teaching matched to your level and needs. The instructor focuses only on you (or your group), and you learn at your own speed. You can be a first-timer or an experienced skier or snowboarder wanting more confidence and technique tips.
A private lesson is ideal if:
- you can’t find a group course time that fits your schedule
- you want to learn faster than in a regular group
- you want to work on a specific skill or try freestyle riding with an instructor
- you have never skied or snowboarded before and want personal guidance
Private lessons are available for both skiing and snowboarding. Duration of a lesson is 100 minutes. Minimum age is 4 years for skiing, 6 years for snowboarding.
Lift use during the lesson is included in the price —no separate lift pass needed. Equipment rental is charged separately according to our standard price list. If you need rentals, please arrive at least 30 minutes before your lesson starts.
Bookings at least 24h in advance (we do not have instructors on standby for same-day walk-ins).

Up to 4 people can join the same private lesson. All participants must use the same equipment (all on skis or all on snowboards) and share a similar skill level. We do not recommend combining adults and very young children in the same lesson. Even when everyone is a beginner, children and adults learn at different paces and have different levels of motor skills.
Want to keep practicing on the slopes after your lesson? You get a 50% discount on a same-day lift ticket by showing your lesson receipt at the ticket office. Please note: This discount is valid exclusively for the lesson participant(s) and does not apply to Werneri Park tickets.

Arrival and meeting point
If you have already booked and paid for your lesson online, there is no need to check in upon arrival. If you are paying on-site, please drop by the ski school office before your lesson begins. You will find the office inside the equipment rental building, right near the ticket sales.
If you are renting gear, please arrive at the rental shop about 30 minutes before your lesson starts. The rental shop opens 30 minutes before the slopes open, making it easy to book a lesson right from the start of the day. Rental equipment does not need to be booked in advance.
When it is time for your lesson, meet your instructor at the slope-side end of the rental building, by the Ski School Meeting Point (Hiihtokoulun kohtaamispaikka) sign.
Freestyle -lajit
A private lesson is a fantastic way to get started with freestyle or take your park skills to the next level. Because starting skill levels vary widely in freestyle, personalized coaching delivers the best and safest results. You can book a freestyle lesson as usual directly through our online booking system.
