This three night event is perfect if you don’t have a lot of time but are looking for a unique winter challenge to take part in whilst raising valuable funds for your favourite charity. This event is fully guided by local guides so there is no hanging around reading piste maps! You will be on the first ski lift up in the morning and be the last person off the piste. No stopping when you want for refreshments (hot or cold!) – it’s a real ski marathon challenge!

Fitness and Experience
The minimum standard to take part in this challenge is “competent and confident on red runs”. This means that no matter what the weather throws at you (snow, rain and too much sunshine!), you are able to get down red runs competently and confidently. You will be divided into smaller groups of like-skilled and similar fitness people each with its own guide.

Most of us don’t do much exercise unless it is a clear sunny day and a weekend. You will be on the first ski lift up in the morning and be the last person off the piste – no matter what the weather. It is therefore essential that you train to get fit for this event and prepare yourself for the challenge.

There are areas of incline followed by an area of “flat” and a couple of t-bars. For this reason we recommend snowboarders to have a minimum 6-8 weeks snowboarding experience.

There are 2 full days of skiing included in the challenge. If there is time on the day of departure to ski then this is available at your own cost.

The Guides
Our team of guides is headed up by Patrick Meixner, a one time professional skier for the Province of Salzburg, who chased hard on the heels of Austria’s world class national team. Now a ski instructor of ski instructors he runs his own ski school with equally fantastic guides. Having run this event for 10 years for us he knows what it means to people to achieve the challenge they have set for themselves no matter what their level of ability.
