On Snow Experience
The region in which you’ll be exploring on this trip is a ski touring haven that offers a wide range of unique landscapes, from the gentle slopes of the Asten to the rugged high mountains surrounding the Hohe Sonnblick. This holiday is aimed at Advanced (Purple) and Expert (Gold) off piste skiers and previous ski touring experience is essential. A good level of fitness is also required, as you’ll need to comfortably ascend 1200 vertical metres each day at a pace of 3-400 vertical meters per hour. You will, however, only need to carry your day pack, as your luggage will be transferred each day to the next accommodation, which will be in small hotels or guesthouses on a half board basis. The plan for the week is as follows:
Sunday 02nd: Guests fly from England to Klagenfurt, meeting at the first Hotel Fraganter Wirt around 4 p.m.
Monday 03rd: Fraganter Wirt to Sadnighaus
Tuesday 04th: Sadnighaus to Döllacher Dorfwirt
Wednesday 5th: Döllacher Dorfwirt to Heiligenblut Hotel Kärntnerhof
Thursday 6th: Hotel Kärtnerhof to Brennkogel and back to Kärntnerhof
Friday 7th: Hotel Kärntnerhof guided Daytour or Skiing in the Skiresort
Saturday 8th: Hotel Kärntnerhof guided Daytour or Skiing in the Skiresort
Sunday 9th: Flight back to Great Britain

What You Need to Know
We highly recommend bringing your own equipment for this holiday (full touring setup), but the guide will be able to help anybody who needs to hire equipment on the first day. Shovels, probs, and transceivers are also available for hire – either from The Ski Club or the guide once in resort.
Matthias Lackner will be the guide on this holiday.
It is a condition of booking that you have valid and adequate snowsports insurance. It is your responsibility to ensure your policy provides cover for all the activities that you participate in during your holiday.We offer a Ski Club Insurance policy which provides the cover we require for all bookings. This policy can be found here: Ski Club Travel Insurance – Ski Club Of Great Britain
If you decide to purchase insurance elsewhere, it is your responsibility to ensure that your policy provides cover as that of the Ski Club Insurance policy. The policy of insurance should provide cover for personal injury, death, medical and repatriation costs in the countries which you intend to visit, together with cover for loss of baggage and valuables, personal liability, delay, cancellation, curtailment, missed departure and legal expenses. The policy should also include cover against losses caused by the effects or consequences of Covid-19.
Due to the type of holidays that you will be booking with us, we also advise that your policy should include skiing off-piste without a guide. Please note, insurance premiums must be paid at the same time as booking in order for the package holiday or single service cancellation cover to be effective. It is also advised to keep your insurance details with you while you are on your holiday. If you choose to travel without adequate insurance cover, we will not be liable for any losses howsoever arising, in respect of which insurance cover would otherwise have been available.
Passport – Check your passport is in date and valid for travel by checking the entry requirements for your destination country – you can see these here: Foreign travel advice – GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)
When venturing off piste, it is compulsory to wear an avalanche transceiver. These can be provided by the Ski Club and should be worn by every person on every all mountain, off piste and touring holiday.
