Pre-Season Camp 2 "Early Bird" in Engelberg

Description

A varied three-day program awaits you at the pre-season camps in Engelberg (CH). Learn new methods, grow beyond yourself and experience the first winter adventure of the season. And YES, snowboard and splitboard are also welcome. Depending on the number of registrations, a separate boarder group can be organised.

All pre-season camps are offered for different skill levels. From MILD//STARTER to HELL// SKI FREAK, there are many gradations so that the course can pick you up and take you further exactly where it suits you best. Want to find out which level is right for you? You can easily find out here. Please note that the camp is not aimed at freeride or ski touring beginners. You should have experience in the above-mentioned areas, be solid on skis or snowboard and have a good basic level of fitness. When registering, you also have the option of indicating in which language you would like to take part in the course (German, English, English & German).
