Ski and Snowboard News, Deals, and Events

Neukirchen has launched a number of hot deals for the coming winter which they call their Snow Waltz Package.

The deals have an emphasis on ski school lessons, teaching you to ski or board, and the resort will give participants a free ski course or intensive snowboard coaching for anyone booking a week-long stay.

The offer, which includes children aged five and up, is available from Jan. 10-31 and from March 7-28, 2009.

The Snow Waltz package includes seven nights in a room with half board or just bed and breakfast, or in an apartment without any meals, as well as a six-day ski pass valid on all lifts in the local Wildkogel Ski Arena.

The Snow Waltz free ski instruction includes a three-day ski course for adult beginners or children, five half-days of instruction for experienced adults, six hours of intensive snowboard training, or a place at the guest's ski kindergarten for young children for five half-days or three full days.  Children may take advantage of the Snow Waltz Package only if booked with at least one parent.

The resort also is offering a snowbike course where you receive one  private lesson with a snowbike instructor, followed by a day of free snowbike rental, as an alternative to ski instruction.

Prices per person range from € 320,00 for a week in a private home on bed and breakfast through € 370,00 for a week in a one star inn, € 460,00 for a three-star Inn with half board, or € 540,00 in a three-star hotel.  Half board in a four-star hotel costs from € 570,00 or self catering in an apartment is from € 340,00.
