Extreme – BMW Snow and Ice Training.

Winter. That means snow and ice on the roads. That means danger and risk. But at the same time, also the biggest challenge that can face a driver at the wheel of a car. And someone who can control his vehicle and has experience in conducting himself on snow and ice knows that it is one of the best – and most extreme – driving experiences that you can have.
The requirement for having control of the vehicle, even in winter conditions and knowing what is at risk and how to act in limit range is a winter driving training course.  The aim of the “BMW Snow and Ice Training” is to give the extremes of winter the “cold shoulder” perfectly. With the assistance of professional instructor, the perfect combination of safety and unforgettable driving experience can be practised.

The “BMW Snow and Ice Training” is offered in different dosages, from a half-day snowdrift seminar on the highest winter training ground in Sölden/Tyrol (Austria) to a five-day intensive course in the BMW Test Centre at the polar circle in Arjeplog, Sweden.
