Swiss Ski + Snowboardschool Klosters

What Swiss Ski + Snowboardschool Klosters does

Swiss Ski + Snowboardschool Klosters (SSSK) is a private seasonal ski and snowboard school founded in 1931, branded as "Die Roten - das Original," operating primarily in the Davos Klosters Mountains region of Switzerland with a head office on Bahnhofstrasse 4 in Klosters. The school delivers group and private lessons across alpine skiing, snowboarding, cross-country skiing, telemark, snowshoe hiking, freeride/off-piste guiding, ski touring, and avalanche safety, plus youth freestyle/freeride camps and adaptive lessons for guests with disabilities. It also runs a day nursery (Snowli Club) for children from 18 months at Silvretta Parkhotel and a corporate incentives/event line.

The underlying technology stack is modest: a TYPO3 CMS website (sssk.ch) built and maintained by Waldhart Software GmbH, integrated with an online booking shop powered by TREKKSOFT AG for secure payment processing. The proprietary pedagogical asset is the Swiss Snow League progression curriculum, which structures instruction from Snow Kids Village through Blue/Red/Black leagues to the Swiss Snow Academy, with optional instructor-led video assessment. The school operates a summer mountain-biking subsidiary (Bikeschule Klosters) to extend brand utilization into the off-season.

The business model is direct-to-consumer, seasonal, and per-course. Revenue comes primarily from one-time lesson purchases priced in Swiss Francs, ranging from group courses at 49 CHF for evening skating sessions up to 1,989 CHF for multi-day packages. Pricing follows a unit-pricing model with volume discounts for consecutive-day bookings and additional participants; corporate events are booked by request. Customers are individual tourists, families, and small corporate groups sourced through the website shop, phone bookings, walk-in inquiries, the Davos Klosters tourism partnership, and organic social channels (Facebook, Instagram).
