A ski tour is the highlight of the academic year for many pupils, a sport which can be enjoyed by all abilities and ages, and allows students and teachers to interact outside the classroom and have fun!

Austria

École offers two superb Austrian ski resorts to school ski groups. The Apline town of Kitzbühel boasts 168 km of perfectly groomed slopes, 18 km of signposted ski routes in all grades of difficulty, fantastic deep snow downhill runs and a snow maker for 65 kilometres of piste. This is a popular resort with our ski groups, with its superb skiing conditions, historical town centre and exciting shopping. Known as the ‘Europa Sportregion’, the Alpine town of Zell am See is one of the most beautiful places in Austria, picturesquely located between Lake Zell and the Schmittenhoe mountain, which offers beautiful views and superb skiing at 2000 meters above sea level. Our lift pass not only covers the Schmittenhoe, but also the beautiful Glacier Ski area, the Kitzteinhorn in Kaprun, which extends up to 3,209 metres above sea level, guaranteeing fantastic skiing conditions all year round. October half term is an ideal time to ski, with perfect ski conditions and snow fall, plus the slopes are much quieter allowing you more time to spend on the slopes and less time queuing for the lifts! Ski tours can be arranged to various other European and Worldwide destinations.
