Description

A holiday designed for those who want to move on from classic to skating technique, or if you want to improve your skating skills. All departures are led by Eric Woolley, an English Ski Council Coach/Tutor who has been leading our holidays for many years and who will make sure you have an enjoyable holiday while learning new skills. The course is offered at two grades: one for beginners to skating (but can already ski classic) and the other offers a mix of instruction and touring for those who would like to perfect the skating technique. Our wonderful base in Versciaco di Sopra, at approximately 1150m, allows easy access to explore the beautiful loipes of the Northern Dolomites. This small village in the high Pusteria valley is situated about 4km from San Candido and our comfortable family-run hotel sits on the edge among snow-covered meadows and has a superb outlook over the mountains.
