Skiing Programme
Zipping through meandering snow slopes is a feeling which can only be explained if you have experienced it yourself.
We are offering a six day Skiing programme during which you will learn the basics of skiing and practice your skills on the various slopes. The program offers you experienced instructors and skiing equipment in a safe environment.
Skiing is not difficult to learn if you just realize the fact that you are going to fall down a lot in the beginning and it’s perfectly normal. The only concern we have is that we hope you do not get addicted to this exhilarating sport of Skiing.
