Year 6 Ski Trip to Salzburg, Austria

Prep School Year 6 students hit the ground skiing(!) in early January as they visited Alpendorf in Salzburg, for a week of Ski Instruction, team building and fun with their classmates.  

For many, this was an inauguration into the winter sport, and despite being greeted with some tricky conditions on day one, they approached things with good humour and a positive spirit. 

A fresh dump of overnight snow meant day two brought about plenty of opportunities not only for some satisfying skiing but a range of play including bum-boarding, snowman building, snow angels, and who can resist simply rolling around in a fresh blanket of snow?

Having Austrian food was repeatedly listed by the students as one of their favourite parts of the trip. They especially enjoyed Austrian Doughnuts, Pomme Frites and warming up with heiße Schokolade – always well-deserved after a long day on the slopes. 

By the end of the week beginners were tackling more challenging runs, those who were nervous about heights had conquered their fears and the more experienced amongst the group showed tremendous effort in facing new challenges whilst showing kindness and consideration to their peers. We are very proud of all the students who were incredible School ambassadors, receiving wide praise from those who met them.
