What happens during the lunch break built into all-day courses?

Children and teenagers enrolled in full-day courses are supervised free of charge and professionally during the lunch break. We eat together before continuing with ski or snowboard instruction. Meals and drinks are not included in the course price.

In the 2025/2026 season, lunch for children and teenagers, including a drink, costs €7.00. A selection of child-friendly dishes is available, all of which are also vegetarian.

What kind of snow conditions can be expected?

Because of its snow machines and ideal location, Notschrei is one of the safest bets for snow among winter sport areas in southwest Germany. Detailed information about conditions on the slopes can be obtained at the lift or by telephone at +49 (0) 7602 399.

Can I rent out material directly at the lift?

No, not as of yet, but we’re working on it. Our shop and rental service is located 5 minutes by car from the lift. The directions and prices can be found here.

Can I trade in used equipment?

Yes, absolutely. Our trade-in scheme is very popular, especially among families. Simply buy (used) skis, shoes, and poles before the beginning of the season. If you or your children outgrow the equipment, we’ll then put its value toward the purchase of new items. In this way, skis, shoes, and poles, as well as snowboards and boots, grow with your children.

Where can I park? Do the parking spaces cost anything?

There are usually enough parking spaces for everyone. However, we generally recommend using public transportation. The “Notschrei” stop is located directly at the lift. To find the best connection, we recommend using the DB Navigator app.

There is a large free parking lot directly at the lift. Arriving early is worthwhile, as it can fill up quickly on some days: https://maps.app.goo.gl/X2Z6YTgejmZGnvSn7

An alternative parking lot can be found here (paid on some days): https://maps.app.goo.gl/TLFUhtotniXd8A6PA

A parking lot of the Notschrei-Loipe association can be found here; it is sometimes subject to a fee or reserved for association members: https://maps.app.goo.gl/8XcJhiExMs3s87VA9
