Basic information:
Lead coach: Alan Eason (SSE Senior Tutor)
On the 7th March you have the opportunity to take part in the Engadin night race, 17 km in distance will take place in the Engadin valley. Then take part in the main Engadin ski marathon race on the 11th Training & Instruction We will start all lessons with the fundamentals of skating, and we will build on each step of learning to skate to refine your technique. Each lesson we will work on all the techniques required in skating to make you a better skier, you also have the option to classic ski as well, and we will teach the same core elements of classic skiing as we do with skating. Each day the lessons will be broken down into small and simple steps which produce a greater level of progress in classic and skating. The program for the week will be structured to each person's needs, and what they would like to improve on.
This trip is for all levels of skier, and we would recommend that some time is taken on roller skis over the summer months to gain some technical level of skiing before the trip. |
Travel
From the UK to Zurich or Innsbruck, A good number of airlines fly from all major airports in the UK to Zurich or Innsbruck, we recommend that you try to book the earliest flight possible and also the last flight back to the UK, this will give plenty of time for transfers into the Engadin valley by the connecting train from Zurich airport. It is also possible to fly into Innsbruck and then take the train to Pontresina, transfer times from Zurich or Innsbruck take about 3 hours. The other option is to travel from London to Paris then onto Zurich via train, then the connecting train service into the Engadin valley.
