• Hopfgarten im Brixental: Yup! You’ll have a Trip Manager to keep you on piste at all times. Plus, there’s an on-site Winter Team at Hopfgarten who can also give you all the info you need about the local village, things to do and recommendations for great local eateries too. (And you’ll also be introduced to your Contiki fam through them!)
• Hopfgarten im Brixental: Your lift pass and equipment hire can be arranged on arrival. Wanna know how much to budget? Check out our page about ski extras.?
• Hopfgarten im Brixental: When you get to Worgl Train Station, walk out the front and look for one of our Contiki Team – they will be on a classic Contiki Coach or a white van. The shuttles depart at 10:30am & 2:30pm – and luckily, you don’t need to pre book.?
• Hopfgarten im Brixental: Good news! We offer free daily shuttles to and from Haus Schoneck from 8am-10am (every ½ hour) and returning from 3pm-6pm (every ½ hour).
• Hopfgarten im Brixental: At Haus Schoneck, you’re welcome to pay by cash or card. But we highly recommend that you get some cash for the local restaurants. The Gasthofs on the mountain only accept cash sometimes. Forgot to bring cash? Don’t worry. There are 3 ATMs in the Hopfgarten.?
• Hopfgarten im Brixental: The Skiwelt Wilder Kaiser Brixental is one of Europe’s largest interconnected ski resorts. We’re talking over 270 kms of ski runs, 70 lifts & cable cars and 80 mountain huts. So, what’s the ski area like, you ask? Pretty darn awesome, we’d say.? 
• Hopfgarten im Brixental: Yep! We highly recommend taking lessons, so you learn the right techniques and information (and can enjoy skiing the way you’re supposed to!). Group lessons start on a Sunday and can be booked for up to 3 days.Familiar with skiing but want a refresher? You can join intermediate and advanced lessons. You can take private lessons upon request too. We’ve been working with our local ski school for over 15 years. So you can only imagine how many of our travellers have taken lessons with them! If you’re on a Weekender trip, you might not be able to book a group lesson. But you’re always welcome to book a private one if you like.
• Hopfgarten im Brixental: Yes, of course! You can sign up for the Half Board option – which includes 2 courses of hearty home-cooked food, available for 5 nights. On the other nights of your stay, you’ll have the opportunity to explore local restaurants since the kitchen is closed. You can make the payment for that in the resort.?

• Hopfgarten im Brixental: Join us in the cute lil Austrian Tyrol village of Hopfgarten, where you’ll find Haus Schoneck by Contiki. Next to one of the world’s largest ski regions, this traditional property has had a fresh facelift with all the modcons. We’re talking on-site sauna, Schnapps bar, communal lounge area, a shuttle to the main gondola. Hungry after a day on the slopes? Chow down on some warming locally sourced meals in our dining room.
• Salzburg: Fill up your Insta feed with pics of this fairytale city. Complete with mountain views, hilltop castle and ‘chocolate-box’ buildings. 
• Hopfgarten im Brixental: Once a week we’re inviting you to grab your skis, wrap up warm and follow a local guide around the mountain.  
• Hopfgarten im Brixental: Woo hoo! Here’s your official invite to a themed party at our exclusive Bar Schoneck. 
• Hopfgarten im Brixental: Perfect way to warm up after a long day of skiing? Lounging in a sauna, of course! And guess what? You’ll have access to our very own sauna (open 4-9 PM) in the hostel. Yeeees! 

Unwind in the on-site sauna at Haus Schoneck, letting dry heat release shoulders and calves after big days on the mountain. The pine-clad room and soft lighting invite steady breathing and slow, restorative pauses.

Embrace a Tyrolean wellness ritual designed to soothe ski-tired legs and clear the head. Open from 4–9 PM, it’s a quiet interval of alpine calm before dinner or an evening out with friends.

Soar on a tandem paraglide above the Kitzbuhel Alps, launching from local ridgelines for a smooth glide over forests, farms and glittering pistes. Feel thermals lift you as winter peaks spill to the horizon and misty mountain passes spread below.

Fly with certified pilots, with routes chosen for conditions and views toward Hohe Salve and the Wilder Kaiser. This optional experience is at additional cost and bookable on tour; flights are weather-dependent and subject to weight limits.

Sample regional schnapps at Bar Schoneck and compare fruit-clear Obstler and Williams with resin-kissed Zirbenschnaps. Notice how alpine botanicals and orchard harvests shape aroma, from pear sweetness to pine spice across clean, warming sips.

Hear tales of Tyrolean distilling heritage and raise a toast with new friends in a cozy alpine setting. This tasting is at additional cost and bookable on tour; measures are modest and responsible service is observed.

Sharpen your turns with group ski lessons led by Hopfgarten’s local ski school. Choose beginner, intermediate or advanced as instructors refine stance, edging and carving technique on terrain that suits your pace.

Sessions typically start on Sunday and can run up to three days, building confidence on varied terrain across SkiWelt. This optional add-on is at additional cost and bookable on tour; private coaching can be arranged on request.

Explore the UNESCO-listed Altstadt of Salzburg on a relaxed photo walk, weaving past baroque facades and arcaded courtyards along the Getreidegasse. Frame the skyline crowned by the Hohensalzburg Fortress and the snowy Northern Limestone Alps.

Cross the Salzach to vantage points in the Mirabell Gardens, hear stories of Mozart and prince-archbishops, and capture pastel streets against mountain light. It’s culture-rich and camera-ready without rushing, with time to notice craft workshops and café aromas curling through the lanes.

Celebrate at a themed party in our exclusive Bar Schoneck, where the mountain-lodge bar transforms into a lively dance floor. Expect playful dress-up, mood lighting and a soundtrack of après-ski anthems to keep spirits high.

Mingle with fellow skiers, swap highlight runs, and soak in the mountain-lodge atmosphere between the bar and lounge. House games and photo moments bring the crew together long after the lifts stop spinning.
