Venturing out each evening to carefully selected local restaurants, or, to one of the tapas bars to sample some fantastic local wine and tapas, known locally as a "pintxo & pote".

Baqueira-Beret, Spain
Baqueira-Beret Is considered Spain's premier resort and is a short two-hour transfer from Toulouse airport.
The slopes are split into three distinct but well-connected areas - Baqueira, Beret and Bonaigua - with long, intermediate runs, practically all of them on open, treeless slopes. Most are above 1800m with extensive snowmaking and for those considering offsite skiing there is extensive terrain with three un-groomed itinerary runs that are avalanche controlled.

Coaching
The teaching will be comprised of four days (9:15-1:15) plus two extended days of coaching (9:15-3:45) so we can get further afield and explore this wonderful ski domain.
Group size will be no more than eight per coach. We will make extensive use of video feedback, with analysis and review sessions held in your hotel in the evenings or on the hill in a convenient bar or restaurant. Our coaching sessions will be delivered by the same ski coaches who run Inside Out Skiing's programme at the Snow Centre in Hemel Hempstead so you may already know them and they may already know your skiing, ensuring each coaching holiday gets off to a flying start!
Coaching will be focused on developing broad based core skills to improve your all-round skiing ability. If we are lucky and get some fresh snow during the week we may try out a little off piste skiing on the sides of the runs.
This holiday is suitable for confident level 7 and higher skiers.
