Audi teaches you how to drive on snow during its courses at two ski resorts

Audi is preparing once again its snow driving courses, an experience that allows drivers who sign up for the event to practise this type of driving with some of the brand’s models. It takes place at two ski resorts. In the Aran Valley, the Baqueira Beret resort has been chosen, in addition to the Sierra Nevada resort, in Granada.

The brand offers participants several experiences where they can learn basic notions to drive their cars safely on snowy terrain. They also offer more specialised experiences, in which Audi models will be put to the test on the ice- and snow-covered tracks prepared for them.

Drivers will have units of Audi at their disposal, such as the RS 3 Sportback, the RS 4 Avant and RS 5 Sportback, the RS Q3 Sportback, the TT RS Coupé and the all-electric RS e-tron GT, depending on which of the two resorts is chosen. The first part of the course is theoretical. In this part, several important things are explained before getting behind the wheel of the cars.

Afterwards, various exercises are carried out to learn how to modulate braking power and calculate the distance needed to stop the car, control roll and slide, and take corners correctly.

Snow driving at Baqueira Beret

At the Baqueira Beret resort, participants will find refurbished facilities, with a new space for the theoretical classes. The circuit also has more room, almost twice the surface area of previous editions. This year the event incorporates the Audi Mountain Driving experience. It will offer participants basic notions of driving on mountain roads with low-grip asphalt.

For this special course, the Audi RS e-tron GT, the first fully electric RS model, will be driven. These courses will take place every Saturday and Sunday from 14 January to 26 February and will cost 110 euros, although Audi customers will only pay 90 euros.

Those enrolled in the Winter Audi Driving Experience course will have to pay 420 euros and it will take place on weekends from 14 January to 26 February. Audi customers will only pay 360 euros. This price includes a 25% discount on two ski passes, plus the loan of Salomon ski equipment for one day and lunch at the Möet Winter Lounge.

Snow driving at Sierra Nevada

At the Andalusian ski resort these courses will be held on the same dates, from 14 January to 26 February. But in this case, they will also be held on Fridays, as demand is quite high. Fridays will run from 27 January to 24 February.

On the Granada track the additional Audi Night Winter Experience course will be offered, in which you can drive at night on the track, lit by floodlights. The price of the courses is 340 euros, although Audi customers will only pay 300 euros. If the night experience is included, the price rises to 440 euros in general and 400 euros for Audi customers.

The extras are also two ski passes, the loan of Salomon ski equipment and dinner at the ski resort’s restaurants. The experience can be booked on the website of audidrivingexperience.es.
