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 10 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.?

Take to the skies on a tandem paraglide with a licensed pilot (additional cost, bookable on tour). Launch near the Hohe Salve and float above snowy meadows and forested slopes, drinking in panoramic views of the Kitzbuhel Alps.

Glide on gentle thermals as skiers trace ribbons below, then touch down with a rush of mountain air and a grin to match it. Opt for a late flight to chase the glow of sunset over the peaks.

Join a guided mountain orientation with a local pro to get confidently dialed into the SkiWelt Wilder Kaiser – Brixental network. Learn smart route-finding between valleys, where to catch the smoothest groomers, and where to pause for photos and reflection over white-dusted peaks.

Hear practical insights on changing snow aspects and popular links toward Westendorf and Ellmau. If conditions allow, your guide points out the chapel-topped Hohe Salve—a classic Tyrolean lookout—so you can plan a panoramic run when the skies are crystal-clear.

Explore baroque Salzburg, framed by the Alps and the Salzach River. Stroll the UNESCO-listed Old Town (Altstadt), admire manicured Mirabell Gardens, and gaze up at the hilltop Hohensalzburg Fortress that has guarded the city for centuries.

Wander past pastel facades along Getreidegasse, where Mozart was born, and soak up the city’s musical heritage and café culture. This is Austria’s elegance on display—ornate churches, wrought-iron shop signs, and mountain views that reward every turn.

Unwind in the Haus Schoneck sauna (open 4–9 PM) and soothe ski-weary muscles with dry heat after a day on the mountain. Step from warm cedar-scented air to crisp alpine cold for a revitalizing contrast.

Tyrolean wood interiors and soft lighting create a calm retreat while snow settles outside. Breathe deep, soak in the warmth, and emerge relaxed, ready to swap slope highlights over a mellow evening in the lounge.

Build confidence and flow with English-speaking instructors who tailor coaching to your level (additional cost, bookable on tour). Choose group lessons for up to three days kicking off on Sunday, or opt for private coaching to target specific skills.
