  • Feedback about the venue
Excellent - Biathlon centre and tracks are very good; plus cafe for breaks. Sport Auer very helpful and I used then for some local coaching which was very good.
Only slight disadvantage was the track from village down to main track was only cut on last few days - not a problem but detracts from easy access.
  • Feedback about the course 
Superb - very supportive and just the right amount of pressure - see coaching.

  • Accommodation feedback
Excellent value in terms of overall quality.
Half board is great deal - big breakfast and full choice of a la carte mains with soup as starter. Rather limited for the nonred meat eater but some good options.
Facilities - ski room, saunas, pool all good/excellent.
  • Coaching & instructional feedback
Perfect for me as a intermediate - superb personal analysis and setting of key aspects to work on. Enjoyable pressure to improve with some humourous cajoling which I appreciate!!
I like the flexibility of appoach so I could get a bit of rest in between sessions - there is a danger when doing a week to over train and then fatigue gets in the way of improvement.
I cannot fault your approach to coaching and instruction - it suits my needs and preferences to have some serious focus to improve but with some fun and laughs!!
  • Travel
Very smooth - flew in from Gatwick and then into Innsbruck Hbf (3 hours in local cafe!!!) - coach to Sillian and local postbus to Obertilliach - all on time and comfortable.
Return bus to Sillian and trains back to Innsbruck - I preferred trains as more space and stunning views!! especially over Brenner Pass.

Engadin marathon week
  • Feedback about the venue
Great ski area. Lots of options and interesting routes to explore especially Pontresina and St Moritz area- despite the hills!
  • Feedback about the course 
Well run course, would recommend trip to others. Size of group was fine. Was beneficial to have 3 instructors for size of group as 2 instructors would have struggled with range of abilties and numbers.
Need to have a certain level of fitness especially if doing the marathon.

Mid-range hotel. Reasonably priced.
Big breakfasts and hotel spa. Ski storage room. Would recommend to anyone who does not want to self-cater and is willing to pay a little extra.

High standard. Liked the pool especially for the kids and relaxing after a day skiing. Food is very limited for veggies...as it is in a lot of Austria......this is quite a big issue for 4+ days of skiing / be tough to convince family to go back to same location.
  • Coaching & instructional feedback
I liked the direct feedback and also being pushed particularly on downhills. Also kids enjoyed it.
Video feedback always powerful and more would be great.
  • Travel
We flew to Munich and then hired a car which was fine.
