On Snow Experience
Alongside your fellow Freshtrackers and Ski Club Rep, you’ll get to ski the wonderful resort of Cortina d’Ampezzo, host of the 2026 Winter Olympics. You will spend your time social skiing on piste with your Ski Club Rep and will be split into groups of 8/9 based on your ski profile. This holiday is aimed at Red and Silver on piste skiers. On our social skiing holidays, your Ski Club Rep will ski with the groups as a member sharing their knowledge of the area from the quietest pistes to the tastiest lunch spots.

I learnt to ski in Scotland age 7 and have skied with family and friends all over Europe. My kids are now at University – so I can ski more! My favourite runs are the wide black pistes at Hogegga in Trysil – groomed in the morning and bumpy by the afternoon, but I get equal pleasure from bouncing in fresh powder snow and am looking forward to sharing this joy with other keen skiers. In my day job I am a knee surgeon in Somerset and enjoy cycling, occasional golf, and keeping control of two very busy cocker spaniels.

- Great local ski area with excellent pistes

- Main lifts are a fair walk or bus ride from most accommodation
- Still a few slower lifts
- Not a great deal of off piste terrain due to the jagged Dolomite mountains

It is a condition of booking that you have valid and adequate snowsports insurance. It is your responsibility to ensure your policy provides cover for all the activities that you participate in during your holiday.
We offer a Ski Club Insurance policy which provides the cover we require for all bookings. This policy can be found here: Ski Club Travel Insurance – Ski Club Of Great Britain
If you decide to purchase insurance elsewhere, it is your responsibility to ensure that your policy provides cover as that of the Ski Club Insurance policy. The policy of insurance should provide cover for personal injury, death, medical and repatriation costs in the countries which you intend to visit, together with cover for loss of baggage and valuables, personal liability, delay, cancellation, curtailment, missed departure and legal expenses. The policy should also include cover against losses caused by the effects or consequences of Covid-19.
Due to the type of holidays that you will be booking with us, we also advise that your policy should include skiing off-piste without a guide. Please note, insurance premiums must be paid at the same time as booking in order for the package holiday or single service cancellation cover to be effective. It is also advised to keep your insurance details with you while you are on your holiday. If you choose to travel without adequate insurance cover, we will not be liable for any losses howsoever arising, in respect of which insurance cover would otherwise have been available.
