This year the Zillertal long weekend trip will be one day longer, allowing for 3 or 4 days skiing including the weekend during the peak snow period, staying in a 4-star hotel in 2person/double-rooms with 3/4 board. The hotel is in the valley between Fügen and Kaltenbach, allowing for access via car or ski-bus to Hochfügen, Kaltenbach, Zell am Ziller, Mayrhofen and others for more variety than staying near just one resort. These are fantastic resorts for skiers and boarders of all levels, with modern gondolas taking you to the top of long red and blue runs, as well as some of the best in-resort and off-piste skiing and boarding in Austria.
For maximum flexibility in your choice of ski days we're going by private car or public transport. The club will help with car-pooling. Après-Ski each day will be at the Hotel Pachmair - where we will also have dinner and spend the night. From the moment the first lift opens the following morning we can ski and board until stumps. Skiing is "officially" Friday-Sunday, but many people will also ski on Thursday. Provisional plan is Alpbachtal on Thursday, Zell am Ziller on Friday, Mayrhofen on Saturday and Kaltenbach on Sunday.
Price includes: Hotel provides breakfast buffet, 5-course dinner with beer/wine/non-alcoholics, afternoon tea/coffee/juice/cake/snacks, wellness area with heated pool, for three nights Thursday to Sunday. A three-day Zillertaler Superskipass is not included in the base price, but is optionally provided at a 5% discount (202 Euro including deposit) when booking.
Transport is private by car or public transport (Uderns in Zillertal), and we will help organize car-pooling. Car transport costs are calculated at 40 cents per km, which comes to 120 Euros to be shared among all occupants including driver if travelling from Munich - this shall include all costs (fuel, road tolls, infringement tickets, operating costs, damage, insurance, depreciation, etc). This adds flexibility (leaving time, optional skiing on Thursday, choice of resort) and is cheaper than a bus (which would be about 65 Euro per person).
Season-pass holders please deselect the option for us to provide you passes when you fill out the booking form.
Payment terms: Places are only considered reserved once payment has been received in full. Specify at the time of booking your preferences of with whom you want to share a room - eg with the name of your partner, or gender preference, or whatever. If the trip takes place but you cannot attend for any reason we will do our best to find someone to take your place, and refund anything the club did not have to pay on your behalf minus a 30 Euro cancellation fee (for club members only, one cancellation without cancellation fee per season); beyond that you need to get your own travel insurance. Of course, if the trip cannot or does not take place you will be promptly refunded 100%.
Emergency phone number: A WhatsApp group will be created for the weekend, which you can voluntarily join for communicating with others in the group.
The meeting point is the hotel on Thursday evening, but of course many people will arrange to meet up to ski together on Thursday morning via the WhatsApp group.
