The introduction to Off-Piste Skills Weekend is for skiers who would like to improve their skills and start to spend more time away from the marked and controlled runs. Whether it’s your first time skiing deep snow or you’ve already tried but still have some problems this course is for you. Anyone who wants to attend our Freeride weekends in Disentis or our Ski Tours and is unsure of their ability can use this weekend as a check-up and a way of improving your skills.

Max No. of Participants:
8 (4 per group)

Location:
Rothwald (Wallis)/TBC

This year we will take our off-piste skills training weekend to Rothwald in the Simplon area. This area is perfect for learning how to ski off-piste. There is a wide variety of mixed terrain accessible very easily from the lifts in the region and even if the weather/visibility is poor there are many tree lines that can be used to work on skills.

Accommodation is in the Mountain Hotel Wasenalp with amazing views over the Rhone Valley and a Hot Tub on the Veranda. We stayed in this hotel last year, the group feedback was that we have to come back again.

Weekend Cost:
575CHF

Payment:
Payment is due at the time of registration. Please transfer the amount due to the following bank account within one week of reserving a place on the weekend. Your place is only confirmed with a “Yes” RSVP and the transfer of the full weekend fee.

Refund Policy:
As I have taken a firm booking on the number of attendees the course fee is non-refundable. However, your place on the course is interchangeable. If for some reason you can’t attend the course we will offer your place to the next person on the waiting list. Once this person has confirmed their place and paid their deposit I will return your fee. I can only return the fee if your place on the course is filled by another participant. I would appreciate if you could pay the fee within 1 week of registering for the event. If I do not have the money by this date I will be forced to offer your place to the next person on the waiting list.

What is included:
• Mountain Guides
• Overnight accommodation (Saturday night)
• Evening meal and Breakfast

NB: In the event of the weather or avalanche risk being too bad, the weekend may be moved to a different area. If this it may result in a small increased cost for the difference between the costs in the accommodations. This is a worst-case scenario event, but if it happens this can not be avoided.

What is not included:
• Transport to and from Rothwald
• Lift Tickets

Required Equipment:
Touring/Freeride/All Mountain Skis
Avalanche safety equipment (Transceiver, Shovel and Probe)

Insurance is the responsibility of the participant, by RSVPing “yes” you agree to act responsibly at all times on this event and to not hold Swiss Alpine Adventure or any person involved responsible for any injury or loss which may occur in relation to the event.
