Itinerary
Day 1
Arrive at Hotel Perren!
You arrive at Zermatt by train. It is a car-free village, but a short walk to get to you to base - Hotel Perren.
First, we will help you visit the ski hire shop if you need it to get you fully equipped for the camp. Then there is a pre-Camp meeting at 6pm, where all things Camp-related will be explained! Have a lovely first meal, before getting an early night before it all starts in the morning!
Day 2
First Day on the Mountain!
Slowly, the three skills used to turn will be explained, demonstrated and tried by you. The management of pressure will be explored in more detail, with a focus on maintaining your balance.
Video analysis will allow you to see how to improve!
Enjoy après-ski and evening meal.
Day 3
Refresh and Learn!
You will revisit Day 2 activities first before focusing on today's skills of edging your ski and rotation. You will carve skis for the first time! Again, video analysis will be used to consider precisely what is happening and when.
Evening activities as a group!
Day 4
Final day to perfect!
Time for you to put it all together! Video analysis will be on the hill at lunchtime. We will prepare an individual written report to guide your skiing direction from here. Departure is available from late afternoon, which allows for a late evening flight.
