Bewegt - Ski & Sportcamp

Reviewed By pauloN8992RE

It’s been 16 years since I last skied and that was in a large group (ski school) plus I suffered injuries. This time was a totally different experience. Bewegt kept us informed as to when, where and whom we would be meeting for ski instructor. Our instructor was Andy, very good command of the English language enabling him to share jokes and laughs with us. Showed a great deal of patience with both my self and partner whom had never skied before, plus we’re both more mature in years so the lessons were tailored to both our needs and not just the weakest of us, enabling both of us to achieve our own personal goals and more Andy made some suggestions on equipment which we both followed up (we had taken our own out of date skis) and this made a great deal of difference to the both of us. Making things a great deal easier. In all a great week was had skiing very enjoyable, because we had a great instructor who went at our pace and tailored our lessons around us, allowing for breaks and recognising when we were both very tiered without pushing us to carry on. Private ski lessons may seem expensive to start with (as we both thought) but well worth it in the end. Would highly recommend Bewegt ski school to everyone weather beginners or experienced, young or old. We got a lot out of it in terms of instruction and enjoyment. We would both like to thank all at Bewegt for their time, understanding and patience. Wh hope to come back next year for more fun in the snow and will definitely be booking more instruction with the Team.

Kitzsteinhorn

The Kitzsteinhorn is legendary: it`s not just a glacier – it`s THE glacier. Salzburg`s highest ski area offers an unparalleleld Alpine experience 365 days a year. It`s here that the winter season begins. Starting in autumn, you`ll already find the perfect snow for a perfect winter sports experience. Whether you`re racing down pristine white slopes or the spectacular off-piste ski routes or on your board in the snowparks, the variety of choices you`ll find is unmatched.

The Kitzsteinhorn cable car is a scenic 'must do' for anyone visiting Salzburgerland province of Austria. Located about 20 minutes from Kaprun, the cable car gives visitors an awe-inspiring trip to "Top of Salzburg at 3,029 metres" in three distinct legs - a gondola, then chairlift, finally a cable car. The views and scenery change throughout the journey, and you get to appreciate the truly amazing geography that has formed the Alps. The Gipfelwelt exhibition is located in a tunnel bored through the summit of the mountain, and it is an interesting display about the formation and geology of the Hohe Tauern mountains and glaciers. Caution here...at this altitude the air is thin and walking back up through the tunnel can suddenly leave you totally out of breath. The lifts are modern, competently operated and you feel completely safe as you're whisked up over cliffs, ravines, snowfields and people and animals passing by underneath.

Beautiful! The power of water is amazing. It's a nice stroll on the wooden path. You might get wet. Parking is tricky, there are more parking lots along the road. The entrance is a bit hidden.

Expert, considerate and entertaining 2 hour lesson with Peter, a Kaprun native with perfect idiomatic English and a reassuring manner. Ideal for this elderly, nervous skier.
