Tourguide Training Spring 2012

Welcome Bikers out there!

Like every year we have our international Tourguide Meeting in Mieming, Tirol. For the very first time in our brandnew Edelweiss Garage!

Have a look:

This great Meeting is a 6 days event for the whole Edelweiss Team. New and old tourguides and the office team - just perfect!

Thursday and Friday were for the "Newbies". Presenting all the office team, how to work with Edelweiss, showing the garage and the bikes etc.

Have look - it was quite interesting:

How to pick up a bike.... on a parking lot, very typical...

Going on a little test ride - get to know the Edelweiss bikes:

Yesterday it was sunny, why not today - brrrrhhhhhh...

Getting used to the new bikes on the Edelweiss Riding School - perfect!

Big Parking lot - no traffic - great!

Check out the ABS - it works!

Saturday we brought them all together: New and old guides + the Office Team, about 50 people...

Really good to get to know each other. We are pretty international - Austrians, Germans, Italians, Suisse, Spanish, Polish...

And then our Picknick Training, not so easy with all the Edelweissers...

First Shopping, Ursula shows how to do so:

and then preparing the food...

What should I say - just wonderful!
