PREMIERE Ski School Tatranská Lomnica/Starý Smokovec

We are based right at the cable car base station in Tatranská Lomnica and have been teaching here for over twenty years. Lessons are always private. The instructor works with you or your family alone, not with a group of twelve.

The first lesson is about three things: stance, stopping, and the confidence that you can stop whenever you want. Turns come after that. We keep that order with children and with adults putting skis back on after fifteen years.

The cable car to Lomnický štít (2,634 m) opens up the longest pistes in the region, and we sit at its base station. The slope is a short walk from the rental shop. As an official Rossignol Test Centre we carry the 2026/2027 models including HERO and FORZA: try them on the slope before you buy them anywhere.

Every instructor is certified by the Slovak Skiing Association (ZSL). That means they teach to one shared methodology, not to whatever each of them happens to be used to.

Jakubkova meadow is a gentle slope roughly 900 metres long with minimal elevation change. For a first time on skis it beats any piste. There is nowhere here for a child to pick up the speed that frightens them.

The slope has a children’s ski lift, so kids never have to deal with a drag lift or a T-bar. The first day usually ends with them crossing the meadow on their own, which is exactly the moment that makes them want to come back.

We teach children from the age of three here. The instructors in Starý Smokovec are trained separately for working with children. You cannot work with a three-year-old the way you work with an adult fixing their carving.

The branch sits by Hotel Atrium and its guests get reduced rates: €37 for a one-hour lesson instead of 44, €66 for two hours instead of 77.

The shop is 20 m from the cable car valley station in Tatranská Lomnica. Parking is about 50 m away and you walk to the slope. We set up skis and bindings on the spot for your height, weight and boot size.

As a Rossignol Test Centre we have the HERO and FORZA 2027 models, so you can try skis on the slope before buying. We rent alpine skis, snowboards, boots, poles, helmets and goggles. Full set from €24 a day, open daily 8:00–17:00.

Ski touring means climbing on skis with skins and skiing down off-piste. We rent Ski Trab sets (skis, skins, poles) and Scott boots, a full set for €40 a day. Sets are limited, so book by phone in advance. We do not rent avalanche gear (transceiver, probe, shovel): only go into avalanche terrain with your own and knowing how to use it.
