Most Inspirational Moment
Skiing on virgin tracks through the woodland early one morning. For my wife it was walking through deep snow, high on the mountain on a day off
Thoughts on Group Leader
Heather was patient, fun, friendly. She kept us going with enthusiastic encouragement when we had doubts about our ability but also knew when we'd had enough. Also on the trip was Albert, who took the grade two skiers and was a font of knowledge regarding the local walks.Both leaders were good company in the evenings and fostered a good group atmosphere.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Quite a strenuous sport for beginners which will probably result in a few knocks and bruises. If you decide it's not for you or suffer an injury, there are plenty of beautiful, well marked walks in the area and other towns to visit so the week will not be wasted. It's very informal, so no need for dressy clothes (and the hotel dining room was very warm)
Suggestions
Dobbiaco is not a lively town for apres-ski but then most of us were too tired to stay up for long after dinner. Not much atmosphere in the hotel except that generated by the group.
