The Venue
Obertilliach is situated in Southern Austria, close to the Italian border, in the beautiful Dolomites. It's a beautiful and historic village, whose buildings are constructed principally from wood. It is one of the country's main centres for biathlon & cross-country skiing.

The plan in brief
Our week here will incorporate first-class ski instruction in classic and skating techniques, many km's  of cross-country ski trails to explore. Develop all aspects of your skiing in both classic and skating. 

The coach
The week will be led by Alan Eason, one of the UK's leading cross-country ski instructors and a former British cross-country ski champion, Alan holds Snowsport England Level 4 and BASI Level 3 Nordic instructor and coaching qualifications. 

The standard
The week is aimed at both experienced skiers with good fitness, and beginners who are very fit and well prepared on roller skis. An interest in racing on snow is not essential, and if you have any doubts about the trip's suitability let us know, and we can advise.
​If you are preparing for other ski races later in the season, this will be an ideal week of training and will fit in well with roller ski training.

Ski hire 
The local ski hire can offer top race equipment for hire and a great range of boots and skis for sale.
Race Option
This will includes the option to take part the Dobbiaco To Cortina marathon races on the 6th and 7th 
​The Dobbiaco-Cortina fun run is one of the most traditional races in Italy and has been taking place since 1977. After the Marcialonga, it is the second largest cross-country ski race in Italy. The route from Cortina to Dobbiaco has become internationally known through the repeated staging of the Tour de Ski since 2010.
