Zillertal Trip
This year the Zillertal long weekend trip will be one day shorter, allowing for 2 or 3 days skiing including the weekend during the peak snow period, staying in a 4-star hotel in single and twin/double-rooms with 3/4 board. The hotel is a couple of kilometers away from the Hintertux station, allowing for access via car to Hintertux, 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 (drinks and snacks included) or Après-Ski Hohenhaus Tenne in Hintertux (if we ski there on the day). Skiing is "officially" Saturday-Sunday, but many people will also ski on Friday. Provisional plan is Mayrhofen on Friday, Hintertux on Saturday and Kaltenbach on Sunday.
Price includes: Hotel provides breakfast buffet, 5-course dinner (drinks not included), afternoon tea/coffee/juice/cake/snacks, wellness area with heated pool, for two nights Friday to Sunday. Skipass is not included.
Transport is private by car or public transport, and we will help organize car-pooling. Car transport costs are fixed at 156 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 something like 90 Euro per person, as it's not many people and the bus has to come from Munich twice).
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 Friday evening, but of course many people will arrange to meet up to ski together on Friday morning via the WhatsApp group.
