ALPENDORF 2010

This year’s trip will run from Saturday 2nd January until Saturday 9th January (arriving and leaving on those dates). It is a “self drive” trip and the distance is 630kms (all Autobahn except the last 2 kms).  You are responsible for booking your own accommodation. The reason is that it is mainly families going on the trip, (but everybody is welcome) and different families have different needs. Some want 5* luxury Hotel with Wellness, some want just a Pension, some want just a room or apartment with self catering, others want with Halbpension etc etc etc. All available accommodation can be found under “Unterkünfte” at www.alpendorf.at. If anybody has major problems, give me a call and I will do what I can to help.
There is no deposit to be paid for the trip, all I need is the money for the lift passes and ski school (if participating) before hand.

The cost of 6 days ski lessons (4 hours a day) is €112. There is a €40 subsidy from the ski club towards adult ski club members lessons, which brings the price down to €72 for 24 hours worth of lessons (pretty good value !!!!). There is a €20 subsidy for children taking lessons (as long as the parents have paid membership). The reason it is only €20 for children is that they pay no membership.

A 6 day adult ski pass costs €185, for a child that was born from 1991 – 1993 the pass costs €152, for a child born from 1994 – 2003 it is €105 and for a child born from 2004 onwards, no lift pass is required as long as accompanied by an adult or ski instructor. Included in the price is a €3 deposit for the Electronic Lift Pass which is refunded when you return it at the end of the trip.

For those who want to go on the trip, please inform me so that I have an idea of numbers.
