Snow sports camp
From Sunday 29th January to Friday 3rd February 2012 at the Zschokkehaus in Engelberg.
It's all but a tradition that winter sports fanatics are offered the opportunity of a week of winter sports, with numerous and varied activities on and off the slopes.
The camp will take place in Engelberg, in central Switzerland. Engelberg boasts more than 82 kilometres of slopes and cross-country tracks for every level.
The camp will be dedicated to snowboarding, skiing, Telemark, cross-country (skating) and the whole fun of the experience. Top-qualified teachers will provide individual coaching at every level.
Video analysis will help to learn new movements and sequences and to improve technique. It is of course also possible to apply what one has learned in small groups or to simply enjoy the surroundings without any teacher.
The cosy Zschokke house lies somewhat above Engelberg on the Gerschnialp (1262 metres above sea), directly next to the station at the top, which gives a perfect connection to the further cable car to Trübsee. A cook will ensure that no one goes hungry. The sleeping quarters are 8-bed rooms whilst comfortable sitting and play rooms will keep everyone happy in the evening. Those who are still not tired enough and are not afraid of a long walk (1 hour) under the stars to the village of Engelberg can prolong the evening well into the night.
A wonderful opportunity for chilling out, and lots of fun guaranteed!
