Training & Instruction
The week begins with the fundamentals of both classic and skate skiing. Coaching is delivered in clear, progressive steps designed to accelerate improvement, with the programme tailored to each participant’s goals.
Each day includes two coaching sessions:

Morning Session
  • Technical instruction
  • Focus on correcting faults and building strong foundations in classic or skate
​
Afternoon Session
  • Skiing on local trails
  • Applying morning techniques in real conditions
  • Reinforcing one or two key skills for faster progression
We typically work in two‑day blocks of classic or skate before switching to your preferred discipline for the remainder of the week.
Obertilliach’s excellent location allows us to ski directly from the village and make regular visits to the biathlon and cross‑country centre, just 1.4 km from the village. The area has a strong snow record and has further expanded its snow‑making capacity for the season.

Ski Hire
The local ski hire offers top‑level race equipment, along with a wide selection of boots and skis for sale.
