Skiing and Snowboarding

 

There are eight different ski areas all within a 20 minute drive of the chalet. SunburstThere are ideal areas for beginners and some epic off-piste runs to be found. Some areas are medium sized high-mountain with a variety of runs and a mixture of chair and drag lifts; others are tiny local areas with a couple of drag lifts and unrivalled tree runs. The area as a whole is much quieter and less touristy than the bigger resorts and on many occasions we have had fresh runs to ourselves all day long. Lift passes are bought on a day to day basis depending on conditions and the ski area visited. On the whole they are cheaper than big resorts costing about £25-£30 for a day pass.
Ski and Snowboard equipment hire can be arranged for your arrival and is charged separately.#

 

Snowkiting


The snowkiting in the area varies from high mountain passes to low level meadows. We have all wind directions covered. The potential for climbing and touring with the kite are plentiful. One of the areas is only accessible by snow cat making for a memorable day with a long free ride back down to the valley. There are flat areas for beginners and rolling landscapes with drops and wind lips for the more advanced to explore.


We offer a variety of courses in snow kiting, from 2 day beginner packages to hourly coaching, water and land kiting crossover courses and guided tours. Kite courses are charged separately as you never know how much will be achieved based on the weather during the week. On the whole locals say they average over the whole season about 50:50 good to bad days.


Course prices include all the necessary equipment except ski/ snowboards. If you have your own kites bring them along. If not we have a comprehensive range of Ozone foil kites available to hire. This is charged separately on an hourly basis. Harnesses and helmets are also available to hire.


Ski Touring


The Brig area has some unrivalled terrain only accessible by hiking on skis or snow shoes. Specialised touring equipment can be hired from local providers and a qualified guide will take you on a full day’s adventure. The cost also includes transceiver hire. All participants must be competent skiers/snowboarders. Price on application.


Heli Skiing.


Air Zermatt, one of the largest heli-skiing operations in Switzerland, run a variety of packages and are based only 40 minutes from the chalet. One run trips or day long packages can be arranged. Prices on application.


Tobogganing


Using the latest in toboggan design we have the choice of two separate 45 minute runs. The cost of toboggan hire is included but the lift pass is not (8CHF each time). We can also arrange to catch the last cable car at 19.15 have a meal in a restaurant at the top and then toboggan down through the trees at night returning to the chalet by 23.00. Epic.


Snow Shoeing


Snow shoeing is a great way to explore the local area, either for a serene walk in the forests surrounding the chalet or an extreme hike up mountains to access back country. They are also essential equipment for snow kite tours as you never know when the wind might drop leaving you far away in deep snow. Snow shoe hire is included in the package price.
