Ski and Snowboard News, Deals, and Events

The Wildkogel ski area is promoting the Snow Waltz Package which includes a free ski course or intensive snowboard coaching (for ages five and up) when you book a one-week stay between Jan. 9 and 30 or Mar. 6 and Mar. 27, 2010.

The seven-night packages are available on a half-board basis, with breakfast, or even in a self-catering apartment. There's also a six-day ski pass valid on all lifts in the Wildkogel Ski-Arena.

The ski lesson offer is for a three-day ski course for adult beginners or children; five half-days of instruction for advanced adult skiers; or for 6 hours of intensive snowboard training. For non-skiing young children the option is for five half-days or three full days of free childcare in the guest kindergarten.

As an alternative to ski instruction, Wildkogel now also offers a snowbike course.  Resort guests receive a private lesson with a snowbike instructor, followed by a day of free snowbike rental. A further alternative is a one-day guided ski tour.

Prices range from €320 on a bed and breakfast basis, from €340 in an apartment, or a maximum of €570 on half-board basis in a four-star hotel. Lower star hotels are available at lower prices. Children may take advantage of the Snow Waltz Package only if booked with at least one parent.
