Swiss skiers take to Argentinian slopes for training programme
Although it is mid-summer, Switzerland's skiers are preparing themselves for the coming season. This weekend, the men's team is heading for Argentina to train in the wintry conditions of the southern hemisphere.
The two-week training session at Las Lenas should have taken place in New Zealand, but was moved because of a lack of snow.
The Swiss star Michael von Grünigen will not be attending the training session.
