On Snow Experience
During this trip, you’ll spend three days skiing with a guide and three days social skiing with your group and rep. Your time with the guide will be spent exploring the mountain and honing in on some of those off piste techniques you’d like to master. On social skiing days, your Ski Club Rep will ski with the groups as a member sharing their knowledge of the area from the quietest pistes, best runs and tastiest lunch spots. This holiday is aimed at Silver and Purple off piste skiers – it is essential that guests have the correct ski profile for the holiday they would like to book.

Andrew Berry
Married to Karen with two children (one boarder and one skier) I love being in the mountains. My first taste of skiing was on a school trip to Scotland. The weather was challenging but I certainly caught the bug I followed this up soon after with a holiday with a friend. What memories - two 16 year olds away from home on a skiing holiday in Hinterglemm, Austria. There was an abundance of snow and we danced on the tables in our ski boots after the last run down!
That was all along time ago but my love for the mountains and skiing has never diminished and now the children have grown up I can take advantage to get away skiing more often; enjoying the slopes, the scenery and meeting new people. My other passion is squash though I have to say the standard is not that high as I only took it up a few years ago. I am looking forward to seeing you in resort.

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.
