Sport65 - with a maximum in safety into the snow:
If your booked Sport65 trip may not take place due to restrictions, the already paid travel price or deposits will be fully refunded by us.
Of course, any payment by you is also covered by the travel insurance certificate in accordance with §651k BGB at tourVers / Hanse Merkur insurance, which you will receive directly with the booking.
Unfortunately, concluded insurances are not refundable.
With this regulation: Your bugs are safe!
We are insanely looking forward to the coming winter with you. But as you know:
Without regulations it may not work....
In the sense of many of our travel guests and employees then take effect in the winter season for our trips the regulations prescribed by law at the time of travel.
The concept: Follow the Snow! "Private Group"...
#righttimerightplace... that's the motto for our Follow the Snow! Camps...
You are at least 4 freeriders and want a private freeride camp according to your own wishes, to a destination of your choice and with the services of your choice?
Here you can put together your dream trip completely by yourself - on any date and to almost any destination.
We have taken 4 ski days as a basis, because from our experience this is the ideal length for a freeride camp with us - of course shorter or longer dates are also possible - just ask us, here the motto is: "You wish, we play"...
- With the booking of this package, we organise the multi-course dinner on your booked tour.
- We will put together the package of your choice for your desired date and destination.
- Prices, services, hotel category, meals,... etc. we will then simply adapt it exactly to your wishes.
- Take advantage of our years of experience as tour operators and freeride specialists.
- Our mountain guides know the wishes of our guests and of course the destination areas, because with our network we will find the perfect guide for you.
- We work exclusively with local guides or "our" Sport65 UIAGM certified mountain guides
- They will be with you on all booked days. - You and your fellow travellers determine the extent of your trip yourself.
- Group size: 1 mountain guide + min. 4 guests up to max. 6 guests - more luxury is not possible!
- Note: The price per person becomes cheaper for the 5th and 6th guest.
- OPTIONAL! Optionally book our "all-round carefree package" with a Sport65 guide, who takes care of the complete organisation on site.
This guide will then also be your safety guide on site and, together with the mountain guide in the team, will ensure smoother runs and maximum safety, and will also be happy to give technical skiing tips or information about the equipment - i.e. you will then have 2 guides! More luxury is not possible! - OPTIONAL! Ride or pick-up (on the way or at an airport/railway station on the route) and transfers on site with the Sport65 shuttle in the "all-round carefree package" with the Sport65 #travelsafe concept - for more information see "Arrival".
- Take advantage of the many years of experience and support from the Sport65 Shop - with the perfect equipment for your dream trip.
From avalanche transceiver, airbag backpack to the fattest freeride skis or light touring skis, always with "try & buy" option
You can't get a better supply of equipment than from the 2-time No. 1 German sports retailer, guaranteed!
Your destination...
...you determine in consultation with the office team of the "Headquarter of Fun" itself - they know (almost) all sensible destinations and advise you gladly.
Whether the hotel category, heliski possibilities or the most sensible journey and much more:
Rely on our experts, because our greatest incentive are satisfied guests who realize their ski dream with us.
Required skills for the Private Freeride Camps:
You alone determine the course and scope of your freeride camp!
- With the Sport65 Private Group Camps, you or your group actually decide everything yourself!
The destination, hotel category, services, mountain guide days,... - Out of the comfort zone, into the thrill situations - always taking into account the avalanche situation report and alpine dangers, with the greatest attention to safety!
- The mountain guides may rope you down into beautiful slopes, flanks or gullies, or we may be moving on glaciers - so a climbing harness is a prerequisite here.
- Far away from lifts and slopes!
Set new challenges, test your limits - be out and about where there are hardly any other skiers.
Medium to steep terrain with couloirs, big mountain, powder and firn are our goal here!
Downhill-oriented freeriding and freetouring with state-certified UIAGM mountain guides. - But: Here, too, you decide for yourself and the guides are completely guided by your wishes!
- Of course, we will always briefly (or longer if you wish) explain how to use the avalanche transceiver and avalanche transceiver equipment - but ideally your group should already have experience in this...
- Group size: You decide! The minimum size of your group is 4 people, as this is the basis for the price of the trip.
What we require...
Condition requirement: MEDIUM to HIGH
- Condition requirement:
You should be physically fit - we are exclusively off-piste and you want maximum fun!
- But since it's your own "private group" - of course you determine the intensity and our guides will cater to that. - Riding skills:
- Good skiing technique, fast, safe off-piste skiing - your group should fit together homogeneously - Previous knowledge:
- Experience in off-piste and deep snow is an advantage - but you yourself determine the level together with your fellow skiers...
- Experience of climbing with skins, even in technically difficult conditions.
- Surefootedness in the terrain.
- Experience in using an avalanche transceiver, shovel and probe is an advantage - but our guides will go into this again if necessary.
- IMPORTANT: Experience with ropes or abseiling is not necessary, our mountain guides are responsible for that - so don't panic... - Material:
- Freeride skis or freetouring skis (min. 95-100mm centre width) with tourable bindings and skins.
- Avalanche equipment (avalanche transceiver, shovel, probe), backpack.
- Climbing harness, helmet
INFO: You can hire the equipment you need here when you register - our guides will bring it with them on site or you can pick it up from our shop before your trip - so there's no stress on site!
More comfortable: Can't be done!
- Snowboarders: Of course, you can also take part in the Royale Camps, because you register as a group

Here we need to be flexible - please have good trust in us...
For your Follow the Snow! Royale trip there are 3 factors:
Flexibility, flexibilitiy and flexibility!
As a trip organizer with more than 30 years experience we are able to find hotels/pensions short-dated - but here is the location the most important factor - as we want to be able to book as late as possible. But of course we are going to meet your requirements.
The price for this trip is calculated on the basis of hotels/pensions with a great location and a minimum of 2-3 stars.
In case you prefer a different hotel category it is no problem for us. We can change the hotel category and adjust the price upwards or downwards, just let us know.
If you book the half board package, of course we are going to check the menu of the hotels - does not matter which location or we go to restaurants for dinner...
Sport65 does not take any responsibility in case your clothes do not fit anymore after the trip...
No worries if you do not book the half pension package, noone had to starve on our ski trips so far.
Only by being very flexible we can react to the current snow conditions at such a fixed price as we want to go, where our mountain guides see the best conditions deep pow and safety considered.
Amenities and services:
- Breakfast in the hotel/pension
- Rooms with shower/toilet
- Central location in your desired destination resort
- Dinner is optional included in the half pension package either in the hotel or a restaurant
IMPORTANT: We calculated the price on basis of a 2-3* hotel in Italy/Austria.
In case you would like to go to Switzerland, we can adjust everything and are going to check the prices with you beforehand.
Same is applicable if you would like to stay in a more fancy hotel or you have very specific requirements to the amenities in the hotel. Here we are going to discuss everything with you beforehand as well.
We are going to let you know the exact location, hotel/pension and timeframe ca. 4-10 day before the start of the trip.
