So much to see and do

Take your students on a visit to one of the world’s leading theme parks, the fantastic Europa Park, where they can exercise learning in an entertainment packed environment.

History come to life

On top of that, this city has seen dramatic historical change and represents unification from the East/West divide symbolised by the imposing Brandenburg Gate. Check Point Charlie, the Holocaust Memorial, Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp and the Stasi Museum all epitomise the tempestuous history that Germany has witnessed.

The perfect set-up

Zauchensee offers a fabulous American style resort set up with a large ‘mall’ style base station structure as the main starting point. The base contains a number of eating options, and shops etc. Most groups will head straight up the Schwarzwandbahn gondola to get close to the Gamskogel peak before attempting the World Cup run. However, the good news is that there is a lovely winding blue run back down from the peak that meets up with a number of other red runs so regardless of your ability level you will be able to descend the hill without any major issues. Also feeding out close to the base station are 3 other chair lifts plus the Rosskopfbahn gondola that will whisk skiers up to the Rosskopf peak and the long blue and red runs back to the base or down the other side to Flachauwinkl.

Explore at Your Pace

From the top of the Mooskopf peak you can ski down to Kleinarl, the runs are a little more testing but are well worth the effort. From Kleinarl you can jump on the free ski bus that will take you down to the lifts at Wagrain. You can be assured that our instructors will ensure that you are well looked after and explore as much of this great area as possible.

Family Friendly Fun

Flachauwinkl side of the mountain is usually quieter and well worth the visit. Once in Flachauwinkl a short hop across the car park gets you onto the aptly named Sunshine Shuttle and then onto the Family Shuttle. As you would guess from the names Flachauwinkl is very family orientated and the mainly blue runs are fabulous playgrounds for new skiers. The resort also boasts one of the best half-pipes & super pipes in the valley plus the superb Absolut Snowpark and the Chill House mountain hut for refuelling both mind and body.

A truly moving place to visit.

From the remains of the Somme battlefields to those of Verdun and beyond, the World War One Battlefields in France tell of the terrible cost of War.

No trip to Belgium is more memorable or poignant than a visit to the World War 1 Battlefields in Ypres, where students experience the living conditions in the trenches and the destructive power of war. As one of the most visited parts of the Western Front, where 250,000 soldiers died during the Great War in the defence of Ypres, battlefield sites include Hill 62 Sanctuary Wood Trench Museum and Bayernwald Croonaert Wood Trenches.

They shall grow not old.

A trip to Flanders Fields, where a million soldiers were wounded, missing or killed in action, reinforces the destruction and impact of war. There are hundreds of monuments and cemeteries, which have great historical significance for peoples of many nations. Visits include the Menin Gate Memorial to the Missing that contains the names of over 50,000 officers and men.

Fun, Fun, Fun on the Autobahn

Once you access the Grafenberg Gondola there is no reason to return to the town as you can access all the slopes on both sides of the mountain via the stunning G-Link cable car and from there it is easy to explore the slopes to Alpendorf and Flachau. Beginners will find the sun bathed terrace at the top of the Grafenburg an ideal starting point before heading over to join the progressing skiers on the fabulous long red runs down to the town. Our groups call these runs the ‘Autobahn’ and as the name suggests these are wide open motorway style slopes that are great at building confidence. These long runs mean more time on skis and less time on lifts.

Test your mettle

After jumping on the G-Link the more testing slopes of the Flying Mozart gondola await. Some real leg burners to get your teeth into on this side of the mountain that will push the most advanced skiers. For those wishing to push on further than Flachau there is a free ski bus that will take the groups up to Kleinarl and from there you can ski over to Flachauwinkl and over again into Zauchensee.

Eat when you’re ready

For lunch there are options at the top, middle and bottom of the mountain but our groups always find their way to Onkel Tom’s Hutte or the Krapfenalm (doughnut house) where they are well received and never go hungry – our instructors stay with the group to ensure everyone has something suitable to eat.

Great for Learning

There are two main access points – one from the main town and a quieter more group friendly access point at the ‘Rote 8er’ or Red 8 gondola. There is a superb beginner’s area from the mid-station of the Red 8 with a mountain huts for lunch at the bottom or mid-station before heading up to the top of the Flachau ski area to explore the superb tree lined runs of the 3 Spacejet and 3 Starjet chairlifts – all slopes are well linked and superbly prepared and make progression easy for the group.

Build Skiers’ confidence

For beginners starting from the Flachau side there is a large beginner’s area at the top of the Achterjet gondola as well as two restaurants for lunch. The wide, open sunny bowl offers confidence building piste that will soon have everyone skiing over both sides of the mountain.
