Candlelit Walk

On Wednesday evening, students and staff took a candlelit walk across the border and into Germany.
 

Day 5 - Berwang

Back in England

Students and staff have just arrived back in England and heading back to school.

Check back soon for photos and videos from the last couple of days of the trip.

Day 4 - Ehrwald

The students continued to progress well with their skiing, in very challenging conditions at Ehrwald. Continuous snow fall made for low visibility on the slopes, but the students all did very well.

Unfortunately, due to the weather, there won't be any video footage from today.

Day 3 - Ehrwald

Day 2 - Biberwier

Ski Show

On Monday evening students and staff attended a ski show at Lermoos. We witnessed skiers and boarders doing a range of jumps and stunts, including some traditional Austrian skiers.

Day 2

It was such an action packed day yesterday, with a full day of skiing and a visit to the ski show in Lermoos, the video from day two will be a little delayed. It will hopefully be online later this evening.

Today, the students are enjoying the slopes at Ehrwald. Videos to be posted soon.

Happy Birthday Alexis and Alasdair!

Day 2

With some snow fall around the hotel last night, we'll be hoping for some great skiing conditions as we head out for our second day of skiing.

Day 1 - Biberwier

On our way to the slopes

We've Arrived

We arrived at the hotel around 10am this morning, and after quickly unloading the cases, we went straight to the ski hire shop to get kitted out with skis, boots, and helmets. The students are now back at the hotel and are looking forward to some rest and relaxation before hitting the slopes tomorrow morning.

And we're off...

After a short delay, we are finally on our way. Austria, here we come!
