• 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 3 nights. On the other night 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.

Hit the house hotspot for an exclusive themed party at Bar Schoneck, where retro dress-ups meet a throwback soundtrack. Think neon, film-camera flashes and belly-laugh dance-offs—this is where the week’s inside jokes turn into full-floor memories.

Expect cheeky contests, DJ-led singalongs and a friendly crowd that makes it easy to mingle. With locally poured tipples and mountain stories flying, the night winds up with the kind of camaraderie that carries back onto the lifts the following morning.

Unwind après-ski and soothe ski legs in the warmth of Haus Schoneck’s on-site sauna. Step from crisp Alpine air into calming steam, letting muscles relax while you replay the day’s turns with friends.

Settle into Tyrolean chalet calm, where wood accents and gentle, pine-scented heat cue full-body reset. Open from roughly 4–9 pm, the sauna is your evening ritual—restoring energy so you wake ready for fresh corduroy and another round of mountain colour.

Settle into the Tyrolean rhythm as you meet your Trip Manager and crew at Haus Schoneck. Sort your gear setup, swap style inspo, and lock in the retro kick-off vibe that sets the tone for the days ahead.

Get a concise briefing on local shuttles, village spots and mountain etiquette, plus a walk-through of Haus Schoneck’s social spaces. It’s a warm, low-key start that ensures you’re clued-up, connected and ready for first tracks.

Unlock the entire domain with a SkiWelt lift pass, giving access to 270 km of pistes linked by 70 lifts and cable cars. Lap morning corduroy, chase long cruising blues, or test speedy reds across Hopfgarten, Itter, Soll and Brixen im Thale.

This is an optional extra at additional cost, bookable on tour. Your Trip Manager can help you choose the right duration and coverage so you spend more time skiing and less time queuing.

Get kitted out with quality equipment hire tailored to your level. From responsive skis or boards to dialled-in boots and bindings, local technicians provide a professional fitting so you’re confident from first lift.

Available at additional cost and bookable on tour, this service is ideal if you’re traveling light or trying newer gear. Helmets and upgrades can be added on the spot, with easy swaps if conditions or preferences change.

Fast-track your progress with a private lesson led by the trusted local ski school. Refine stance, link smoother turns, and refine carving technique on runs chosen to match your goals and conditions.

Optional and at additional cost, this is bookable on tour—ideal for Weekender timings when group classes may be limited. Beginners build foundations quickly; returning riders tune skills for steeper lines and more control.

Fuel your evenings with the Half Board option: two courses of home-cooked dinners served in the cosy dining room. Expect comforting plates and Tyrolean flavors that hit the spot after a cold-bluebird day.

This optional extra is available for three nights and payable in resort. On the remaining evening, head into the village to try a local Gasthof—perfect for comparing schnitzels, soups and sweet endings before strolling back under Alpine stars.

Join a relaxed introduction to the area and follow a local guide for an orientation on routes, meeting points, and favorite warm-up pistes across SkiWelt Wilder Kaiser–Brixental. Glide between groomers and tree-lined stretches while collecting tips on safe travel and smart lunch stops.

With pause for photos and reflection at viewpoints, you’ll get your bearings around the Hohe Salve and beyond. This overview helps you maximize 270 km of interconnected pistes, setting you up to explore confidently for the rest of your stay.

Celebrate Retro Ski Day as the SkiWelt turns full throwback. Pull on your boldest vintage looks, cruise from Hopfgarten toward Itter, and catch live acts on the mountain bringing colour to terraces and snow-side stages. Expect chairlift singalongs, bright one-pieces and that sunny terrace atmosphere Austria does so well.

Soak up mid-Alpine panoramas and snap retro-tinted photos with the Kitzbuhel Alps as your backdrop. This resort-wide celebration often lands on day 3, creating a feel-good buzz that rolls from first lift to last run and straight into après.

Soundtrack your ski days with live music and DJs spinning from snow-bar booths and hut terraces from Hopfgarten to Itter. Carve a few laps, pull in for a track drop, and ride the wave of après-ski energy that defines Austria’s winter scene.

Experience the spirit of the Tyrolean “Schirmbar” culture, where brass riffs, Euro-pop hooks, and clinking steins keep the vibe buoyant. Expect bursts of colour, crowd choruses and mountain views that make even a coffee stop feel like a stage-side moment.
