Book nowCome along to our introduction week in off-piste & learn both theory and practice!
During week 12 we focus entirely on off-piste as we present our intro experience for the first time in Saalbach. The week includes teaching by experienced and qualified instructors who introduce you to the different techniques of off-piste. Here you will get the best possible conditions to develop your skills in a safe and professional environment. This trip suit both beginners who never before left the pist and those who have tried off-piste a couple of times but want to refine their technique and increase their knowledge.
In addition to practical exercises out in the snow, the trip also includes two theory sessions: one focusing on off-piste safety and one on the equipment used. This means that you will get an educational week that combines both theory and practice.
If the whole family or friend group don’t want to try off-piste, the Saalbach-area together with Leogang and Fieberbrunn offers a total of 270 km of pistes. This almost guarantee that everyone can find something that they like!
Last, but not least, the week is also the highlight for freeride enthusiasts: The Danish Freeride championship are held in Fieberbrunn, which are located in the same ski area as Saalbach-Hinterglemm.
We are looking forward to an inspiring and educational week filled with off-piste and a lot of laughter!
