Skiing in Folgaria!

Posted on by

On March 17, the Erasmus Student Organization took a group of us for an exciting 4 days skiing trip in Folgaria, in the northern Italian region Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol.

Safe to say this was my first ever skiing experience, but fortunately we had instructors who took us to speed from day one to learn the basics, and then quit using the baby slopes for a very scary, but enriching, adrenaline driven experience in the very big slopes.

At the end of each day, we would go for some well deserved après-ski with friends and international students from all around the world who are studying in different cities across Italy. Here are some of the best photos I could get when I was not struggling to survive:

First look at my challenge (started off in the baby slopes)
Well deserved Après-Ski with awesome views, after almost twisting my knee
Day 2, felt confident enough to go up the mountain with the group, lost count of how many times I have fallen
This place… scariest slope I encountered. One of the girls in our group had to be taken to the hospital
Day 3, improving
Well deserved pictures with my good German friend Marie
With a little break for some fries and a German beer…. in Italy
One last group picture before heading back to Modena
