Churcher's Hits the Slopes in Austria

In February half term 88 students from first to fourth year supported by ten members of staff headed off to the Austrian Alps near Salzburg for Churcher’s College annual ski trip.

One of Austria’s largest resorts, Salzerburgerland offers skiing from A to Z, from Alpendorf to Zauchensee, with 210 km of pistes which also include the mountains of Wagrain, Fachauwinkl-Kleinarl, Flachau and St Johann. Delivering progress for students of every ability, ski school was enjoyed each day in small groups, enabling professional instructors to showcase the diversity of snow space on offer, from challenging world cup downhill runs to adventurous slopes and internationally known freestyle fun parks. The snow conditions were perfect with powder and tree skiing in abundance on the slopes.

For après ski the pupils enjoyed a full menu of delights including the bubbles, jets, multiple pools and slides at Erlebnis-Therme Amadé, disco dancing and pizza at Wilderalm and not forgetting the delicious Austrian cuisine, a fun team quiz and ski talent awards nights with prizes. Summed up by one student in just three words: “Best. Week. Ever.”

We look forward to visiting the mountains again next year.
