We suggest flying to an Italian airport (the closest to Cervinia being Torino or Milano Malpensa). Geneva is still an option but you are then taking into account three countries (landing in Switzerland, transiting through France and entering Italy).
We are not offering airport transfers but we are at your disposal for any queries you may have about organizing one. We can connect you with others joining the trip to organize a shared transfer.
HOW IT WORKS
We've got a top notch program planned for Winter 22/23!
Technical Session - with Instructors
Hone your tecshnique and skills
Spend the morning with a top female instructor who will help you develop your skiing over the season. Tell us your goals and we help get you there. Whether you want to master the moguls or crush your carve turn. We have you covered. Spending some dedicated time working on certain elements of your skiing in all terrain is a game changer. Each session has a specific focus depending on snow conditions.
Mountain Skills - with Guides
Learn how to play and travel off piste
Going off-piste or into the higher mountains brings with it, its own set of skills. Not only are there variations in style but the risks require knowledge in snowpack analysis, avalanche procedures, glacier travel, to name a few... Once you know how to approach the off-piste correctly the fun can really begin with ski touring trips and epic adventures to new terrain. Boy, do we girls have fun!
Cross Country Ski Sessions
Slide and glide with style and grace!
Ski de Fond is a great way to travel through the mountains and get a full body workout, all at the same time! There’s 2 techniques which use different kit - classic and skating. They are both technical and great fun. Our sessions, with inspiring female instructors, have you covered from starting skinny ski sliding for the first time to going on an adventure and traversing a mountain range!
Summer Sports - with Guides
We bring the adventure, you bring the suncream!
A summer schedule full of opportunities to keep our winter community connected and have fun in the sun. We organise road bike meetups, MTB skills sessions, sport climbing days, alpine mountaineering, and hiking tours.
