Autumn skiing on the glacier

The Zermatt glacier is the best pre-season skiing destination in Europe, and for good reason. This high-altitude, north-facing glacier boasts a fantastic lift system, allowing for ample skiing opportunities. It’s the perfect environment to get some early-season training in, whether you’re preparing for an instructor exam or looking to tweak your technique and create a solid plan for the season ahead.

After a long day on the slopes, there’s nothing quite like relaxing with a cold beer and reviewing the day’s video footage with your Summit coach and the rest of the group.

Introduction
to off piste

The journey to skiing bottomless powder like in the ski movies can be a long and challenging one, but it is also an incredibly rewarding experience. Along the way, you will encounter highs and lows, moments of triumph and moments of frustration. Your Summit coach will use the right terrain, give you the right skills, and help with your mental approach to make this journey as smooth and stress-free as possible.

Whilst the journey is dependent on improving your technique and tactics skiing variable snow, equally important is developing a solid understanding of avalanche safety practices. Choosing safe lines, appropriate skiing styles for the level of risk or knowing and practising how your transceiver works are all important factors that will be covered during this week.
