The role of DHO Ski Leaders
All of our ski leaders are very familiar with the slopes around Wengen, they help out in a variety of ways. The most important of these is acting as a ski leader, the next most important is as a clubrace assistant, and of course they also represent the club within Wengen and the surrounding area..

HOW Ski Leading WORKS
With up to two volunteer Ski Leaders available, the DHO offers a range of led‑skiing options.
During busy periods or when members prefer different types of skiing, we run two groups per day. Examples include:
One group heading off‑piste while another enjoys a relaxed day on piste.
Groups split by pace — fast and steady — often meeting for lunch at a mountain restaurant
This flexibility ensures everyone enjoys the type of skiing they love.
Race Assistant
Every Thursday — and occasionally on other days — the DHO organises ski races. Ski Leaders manage the setup and running of these events. Since races typically take place in the morning, leaders are often available to ski with members afterwards.
