Food

Skiing is a physically demanding activity that absorbs a lot of energy. Eating well is vital to maintain stamina.

Food is simple but hearty fare. Special dietary requirements can be catered for provided that they are notified in advance.

At Vorderburg the catering is provided by our resident chef who has been with Alpine Adventure from the start. He updates the menu each year to ensure that it is popular with cadets.

Breakfast at 0730 hrs consists of a buffet comprising cereals, bread rolls, cheeses and meats. Cadets and staff are responsible for making up their packed lunch from the excellent buffet.

The evening meal is normally taken at 1800 hrs and consists of two courses.

Cans and confectionery can be purchased from a canteen carried on the coach during ski days and from the lodge during the evenings.

Cadets are divided into ‘duty groups’. The ‘duty group’ is responsible for helping to clear away and wash up after a meal. These are simple tasks that with some organisation do not take long to complete.

After the energetic Games Night, the Bristol and Gloucestershire Wing party always refuel with pancakes cooked by their own Celebrity Chef, Squadron Leader Maurice Thompson here assisted by his latest apprentice, AWO John Hayes.
