About

About the Course

A ski and snowboard beginners course led by experienced instructors is part of the programme. Participants are briefed on safety, the daily routine and conduct on the piste on arrival, and are introduced to the ski area. The slopes of the Brunnalm area are easy to intermediate, which the operator describes as suitable both for those already riding confidently and for those learning. The published day-by-day plan is an example and may shift with the weather or local arrangements.

What’s Included

Six nights in multi-bed rooms at the youth guesthouse, full board with breakfast buffet, self-prepared packed lunches and a hot dinner, return travel by modern coach with one overnight leg on the return, the free ski bus and an introduction to the ski area, the ski and snowboard beginners course with experienced instructors, a karaoke party, attentive supervision with experienced tour leadership, and insolvency insurance.

Accommodation

Participants stay at the Jugendpension Auenschmied in simple, comfortable multi-bed rooms. Sanitary facilities are centrally placed on each floor. There is a large dining and common room used for meals and for table tennis, table football, small tournaments and games evenings. The ski bus stop is directly outside the door.

Meal Plan

Full board throughout: a breakfast buffet, packed lunches the participants make up themselves for the day on the mountain, and a hot evening meal, all served in the guesthouse dining room.

Activities & Excursions

Skiing and snowboarding on the Brunnalm pistes, with a Wisbi timed run for variety. Off the slopes the programme includes a ski disco or karaoke party, a leisure and activity programme, table tennis, table football, small tournaments and games evenings in the common room. Excursions and extras that are not already included can be booked locally on site.

Facilities

The guesthouse has multi-bed rooms with sanitary facilities on each floor, a large dining and common room, table tennis and table football. The ski bus stop is at the door, and the Brunnalm ski area a few kilometres away offers twenty-four kilometres of piste between 1,400 and 2,520 metres.

Camp Experience

The Defereggental lies in East Tyrol in the Hohe Tauern National Park, ringed by more than fifty peaks above three thousand metres, and the operator describes it as reliably snow-sure. Participants are divided into groups of eight to ten for the whole trip, each with its own group leader, while a service team on site handles travel logistics and meals. The operator notes that the trip is not suitable for participants with restricted mobility.
