information january & march 2016 pack
SKI FANATICS was created in 2014 to help keen skiers and freeriders to get the most out of the biggest and best ski areas in small, guided groups whilst making new friends and having fun in a friendly holiday environment. Each full day on the mountain is led by a qualified instructor who really knows the area and who tailors the week to meet the objectives of the group, whether it is to explore new off-piste opportunities in a riskmanaged way, improve techniques for skiing in deep snow or on steep mogul-fields, or simply cruise around the best pistes and learn the local secrets of the resort. a full week of offpiste exploration in a group holiday environment Optional tuition is freelyavailable throughout the week for those who are keen to improve, and even the most avid SKI FANATICS pick up technique tips along the way that allow them to get more out of a day on the mountain. Lunch is a relaxed affair, with each guide choosing a different mountain restaurant every day, which allows you to savour a range of local specialties whilst planning your afternoon on the slopes. A group dinner in the resort at the end of each day gives the chance to meet new people and swap stories with the other groups. For those who still have energy left, exclusive after-dinner entertainment is organised throughout the week.

verbier and its famous 4valleys Verbier s skiing shouldn t need an introduction. The 4-Valleys lift network links a huge domain of extensive piste and offpiste terrain. There is a true high mountain feel to much of the main area, along with breathtaking views of many of the the Alps 4000m peaks. The ski area ranges from 1,500m to 3,330m and is world-renowned for its extensive, easily accessible, steep and deep off piste. From remote and exposed mountainsides to cosy, tree-lined descents there is something for everyone. With a transfer time of under 2 hours from Geneva Airport and a high speed telecabin link to Verbier and the main ski area, the small resort of La Tzoumaz makes the perfect base from which to explore the 4-Valleys. In addition, the legendary Vallon d Arby off-piste itinerary that leads to the resort is a superb way to finish the day. La Tzoumaz boasts a 10km sledge run and an outdoor ice rink, as well as a handful of bars and restaurants, supermarket, bakery and ski hire shops.
