Visit London
Day 1
Gather round snow angels! It's time to meet your posse of white powder enthusiasts and make tracks to Austria.
It's an overnight coach ride, so be sure to stock up on supplies before we hit the road.
Day 2
Here we are in the heart of the Austrian Alps.
A place where all levels of borders and skiers will be #blessed by a wonderland of opportunities to shred. Beyond free time to explore the slopes we'll shower you in things to do. Every jam-packed day will be eased by the joy of crashing at an Austrian Gasthof including activities like a tandem paraglide, or just taking to the village vibe and sampling rosti, pork knuckle in-between sweet mountain runs.
Day 3
With spirits high and no doubt feeling like a bit of a ski slope legend, we pack our bags and get back on the coach ready to head back to London.
Wipe away those tears, there's no doubt firm plans with the squad on where the next adventure will take you.
