Deep snow course for beginners in Andermatt / Engelberg
Who is this powder snow course suitable for?
This is the perfect "pure" powder course for beginners or ideal as your next level after "surf the snow"! You should ideally already be able to handle your skis in the snow. Parallel swing to turn.
Deep snow course, a BERIE classic
We ski a lot and learn intensively. In the meantime, these weekends are real BERIE classics...specifically, you deepen and learn the ski technique for enjoyable skiing off-piste in different types of snow. Preferably, of course, in "deep powder snow". In Andermatt, Engelberg, Zermatt or Arolla we know every corner and always find the best slopes. With technique exercises and tips to improve your turn control from the professional mountain guide with many years of experience as a ski instructor, you surf safely in a short time elegantly through the deep powder snow.
Dream descents for beginners or for refreshers
Which tour rider does not often have problems with changing types of snow? Or do you simply need a refresher at the start of the season? Among deep-snow experts and freeriders, many Swiss ski resorts have long since become a real scene Mecca.
Many of the descents in the best snow are endlessly long and altitude differences of over 1500 meters are not uncommon. In the ski areas around the mountain villages of Andermatt / Engelberg and Zermatt / Arolla, many variant descents of varying steepness and exposure are possible without having to accept long ascents on foot. Often a few minutes to a maximum of 30 minutes are enough to reach gigantic dream descents.
Perfect: the journey by train is comfortable, sustainable and fast!
