Our Alpine Leader Courses are designed to do just that. We will welcome you into the Snowstyle family and furnish you with the knowledge required to lead a group in the event of an accident, emergency or in case you simply want to offer some flexibility within your party. The course is backed by UK Snowsports and is internationally recognised giving you not only valuable information, but also something tangible when travelling.
Private transfers are provided from Salzburg Airport directly to our resort accommodation.
We use three or four-star, family-run hotels exclusively for our Alpine Leaders Courses and all accommodation is always booked on a half-board basis. A hearty breakfast each morning would include freshly baked rolls served together with locally sourced meats, cheeses, and preserves; cereals and pastries will also be available accompanied by freshly brewed coffee, a selection of teas as well as fruit juice.
Evening meals are a three course affair starting with a traditional soup before moving on to your choice of main course – this choice will be made at breakfast and will include a meat, fish and vegetarian option each day and rest assured, all dietary requirements are catered for. All good evening meals are rounded off with something sweet setting you up nicely for the rest of the evening.
With all of our hotels situated in the centre of Altenmarkt, any free time can be enjoyed whilst exploring this picturesque, alpine village.
Our accommodation is based in Altenmarkt im Pongau – we’ve found it’s great to be at the centre of where it’s at! Our town offers many facilities, all within walking distance:
We’re based in the Ski Amadé, one of Europe’s biggest ski areas. The Amadé lift pass offers over 860km of piste and is made up of World Cup resorts such as Zauchensee, Schladming and Flachau together with some other traditional mountain resorts offering some truly breathtaking skiing. Whilst Austria is renowned for it’s love of racing, freestyle skiing has definitely made it’s mark and we’re lucky enough to have the world class Absolout Park on our doorstep.
All candidates in need of equipment will be asked to supply us with their requirements in advance of arrival.
Included with your course will be a supply of the following:
All courses will be undertaken by Basi-partnered trainers, to ensure that the delivery of the course follows UK Snowsports requirements. Our team is motivated to deliver the best knowledge available and will be happy to give some individual feedback during your time with us.

As a course tailor-made for teachers, we appreciate that a leave of absence is not always possible during term time, however with the course being delivered over a long weekend each candidate would only require two days away from work.
Dates remain flexible with courses being held regularly throughout the winter!
SNOWSTYLE’s price covers you for over 20 weeks and includes:
BONUS
Are there any extra course fees?
None. For those looking to extend their season and sit their LS1 exam, we can discuss your options at any time throughout the season.
How does this compare to other companies?
The main differences are in the length of the course we run and that your accommodation is covered for the entirety of the season. This means that once you start working, all money earned is money kept.
With other companies, whilst you may be offered a job, any accommodation provided by the ski school is not included and will need to be paid for.

Own your season and learn the basics
Our advice to you will always be the same – get as much out of your winter as you can and we can help you with that. We have plenty of material available to send you to help you on your way before you even depart for Austria and even more once you’re here with us. Don’t be shy, give it a try!
We understand that many of our students will either not have their own kit or simply want an upgrade – we are on hand to advise you on what is most suitable and can offer great discounts to soften the blow!
Your season belongs to you – you own it and we want to help you make it the best it can be.
Simple things like a visit from family and friends can put the icing on the cake. We will be happy to make any arrangements you need including airport transfers, hotels, lift cards and ski hire. We know that what we’re offering is an experience you’ll never forget. No matter what, there will never be a dull moment in your winter with us!
