Waldegrave School Summer Magazine 2024

The Year 10 ski trip to Austria was a fantastic experience for the 40 students and 5 teachers who travelled to the beautiful Salzburger Sportwelt resort. They departed from school on Good Friday, arriving at their hotel in St Martin am Tennengebirge on Saturday afternoon. After settling in and fitting their gear, they enjoyed a delicious three-course Austrian meal. On Sunday, they hit the slopes with their skis, poles, and lift passes. Students were grouped by experience: experienced, intermediate, dry slope veterans, and complete beginners. Everyone had a brilliant time, enjoying après-ski activities and home-cooked Austrian food. Experienced skiers explored the resort, intermediates honed their skills, and beginners progressed confidently from nursery slopes to blue runs.

Students shared their excitement: “I loved it, it was great,” and “Skiing is like soaring and flying!” One student enjoyed “learning to ski for the first time,” and another loved “going bowling and all the activities after skiing.” The cultural aspect was also a highlight, with a student saying, “The Salzburg trip was very fun and the city was nice to explore.”
