This women-only trip is run by women and designed to be a truly welcoming, supportive space where you can learn, connect and build confidence together. Join the Wildtrack Nordic community and take your very first steps on snow with expert coaching, gentle trails, and encouragement every step of the way. Each day is carefully structured to help you feel comfortable and capable, blending simple, achievable drills with relaxed skiing sessions so you can progress at your own pace. The focus is on creating a friendly, empowering environment where you can share the journey with like-minded women, celebrating each milestone together.
The Ridnaun Valley offers a variety of beautifully prepared trails winding through forests, meadows, and alpine landscapes. The 12 km Majern loop follows the Fernerbach stream, with options for gentle climbs and extra laps, while the illuminated 3.5 km night track offers magical evening skiing. A short drive away, the Platschjoch Panorama loop above the tree line gives you 14.9 km of rolling, high-alpine terrain with sweeping views and a traditional hut stop along the way.
After a fulfilling day on snow, return to the Erlebnisort Gassenhof, your cozy home for the trip, where you can relax and recharge. Spend the late afternoon enjoying the panoramic infinity pool, spa and sauna, or treat yourself to an optional massage. Evenings are all about connection and good company — gather with the group for freshly prepared local meals and lively conversation, perhaps accompanied by a taste of the hotel’s exclusive high-altitude gin.
By the end of the trip, you’ll have built confidence on skis, shared laughter and encouragement with new friends and experienced the calm beauty of the mountains in a way that leaves you feeling restored and inspired. This is more than a ski holiday — it’s a chance to be part of a supportive community of adventurous women, enjoying a shared journey of learning and discovery.
