Overview

Andermatt is a charming 800 year old Swiss village in the Gotthard Massif. It is renowned for its excellent snow record thanks to its geographical location.

Description

The main mountain, the Gemstock has been likened to the Grand Montets in Argentiere, but with the distinct advantage that the off-piste here in Andermatt is rarely crowded.

Itinerary

5 full days of off-piste skiing & instruction. There is also 1 'freeskiing' day when no instruction is provided.

The principal aims of this week are:

- To provide first class instruction from top Ski Instructors to radically improve off piste skiing technique and style.
- To give practical mountain awareness training particularly for avalanches.
- To provide the opportunity to ski the best off piste in the Andermatt Ski Region.

These weeks will be run by Ski Instructors and the focus will be on selecting terrain that will really challenge you and take your skiing to the next level.

Stamina: ***

For these courses you need good fitness and stamina so that you can ski all day for 6 consecutive days
