Hello everyone!

We hope you're ready because here comes our wonderful ski weekend! It will take place in Zinal.

Here's a small description of what you can expect during this weekend:

On Friday evening, we’ll start off gently with a games night. A rather relaxed evening that will end at a reasonable time so you can be fresh and ready for a full day on the slopes!

On Saturday, you’ll have the opportunity to ski in Zinal. Skiing takes a lot of energy, but don’t worry—a convivial après-ski moment will be there for you to unwind. Later in the evening, after dinner, get ready to celebrate at our fantastic Christmas party! Bring out your Christmas sweaters or festive accessories and spend a warm, cheerful moment with your friends!

Before leaving on Sunday afternoon, you’ll have the choice to enjoy another day of skiing or try other activities. Don’t worry; we’ve got you covered! You can go sledding with breathtaking views in a stunning setting (cost: 8 CHF). You can also head out on a snowshoe hike to explore the heart of nature (cost: 20 CHF). The snowshoes can be rented from the same shop as the skis. If speed isn’t your thing, you can take a pleasant walk in the surroundings. And if you’re ready to glide, lace up your skates and enjoy the crisp air on the ice rink (cost: 6 CHF). Finally, you can take some time to recharge and relax at the spa (cost: 22 CHF).

Please note: Non-skiing activities are NOT included in our prices, but we wanted to provide all the necessary information to help you prepare for the weekend. You can pay for the activities of your choice once you’re in Zinal.

If you’re a beginner skier, don’t worry! We offer ski lessons led by experienced instructors from the Swiss Ski School. These lessons are organized in small groups based on skill levels for optimal learning and cost 40 CHF per lesson. We strongly encourage beginners or those with rusty skills to participate in these lessons. It’s essential for your safety and to ensure you acquire the basics needed to fully enjoy the slopes! Keep in mind that you’ll be on your own on the slopes, and without lessons, there won’t be anyone to assist you if you face any difficulties (duration 2h30 for each class).

More information about ski rental is provided below. Details about the ski resort, transportation, and more will be shared once your spot is paid for. If you have any urgent questions before that, feel free to reach out to us at esnskiweekend@gmail.com.

We’re looking forward to an incredible weekend with you on the slopes!
