Set in the beautiful Austrian Alps, Amadé is a huge ski expanse made up of 29 resorts, bringing guaranteed snow and a host of local ski instructors to give expert guidance for your students. Our groups rate the huge Salzburger Sportwelt resort as the best ski area for schools, with our hotels giving easy access to the slopes. Wherever you choose to base yourselves, there’s plenty to look forward to in the evenings too – from quizzes and ice-skating to slides and whirlpools in the two local waterparks.

Features

As Austria's largest ski network, Ski Amadé offers access to 760km of pistes and modern lift infrastructure across five diverse regions. This gives school groups plenty of variety throughout their trip, with opportunities to explore different mountain areas while skiing on a single lift pass.
Beyond the slopes, students can experience the welcoming atmosphere of the Austrian Alps, with traditional mountain villages, stunning scenery and a long-standing skiing heritage. Combined with excellent ski schools and well-organised resorts, Ski Amadé is a popular choice for school groups looking to build confidence and maximise their time on the snow.
