Detailed itinerary
1
Once we have arrived, your guide will escort you to the main lodge. Then, it is directly to the ski rental shop to “get fitted” with the proper sized ski equipment and wear. Once finished, your guide will distribute and activate your lift tickets and point out the different slopes and entrances to the various lifts, as well as places to have lunch or take breaks. Then, it is time to “hit the slopes” and enjoy a day of skiing. For those tour members taking “complete beginner” ski lessons, your guide will escort you to your ski school area and help get you checked in for the ski lesson. Once your 2 hour ski lesson has concluded, you can practice (on your own) all the ski techniques you have learned. You are free to practice skiing until 16:30. Guests/skiers will be able to use their time on the slopes however they wish. There is no set time for lunch or when to “take breaks”. Each guest will be responsible for when, where and for how long to take a lunch break.
