Trip Itinerary
A great place in winter, for all levels
of skiers and snowboarders. Well-groomed
runs combined with the informal and friendly
atmosphere of our village make Hopfgarten
the perfect Ski destination. The whole ski
area is part of the 'Ski Welt' circuit offering
250km of pistes with interconnecting gondola,
chair and drag lift systems to get you quickly
to any area of the mountain.
Beginners in ski or snowboarding will want
to take advantage of the local beginners'
lift pass, including Hopfgarten, Itter and
Kelchsau. Gentle nursery slopes in the heart
of Hopfgarten (perfect for beginners) are
made easy with patient instructors who will
soon have you motoring through the trees
from "middle station" and up on to the more
advanced slopes in no time at all. You can
upgrade your beginners' lift pass to one
that covers the entire 'Ski Welt' region.
Flexibility is the key!
Intermediates and Advanced skiers or snowboarders
will want to take advantage of the whole
'Ski Welt' ski area including the 7km descent
to the village. You may also like to go
out with a local, experienced ski guide,
in a group or on your own, to really discover
the hidden mountain (bookable when you are
in resort).
Tobogganing
Whether it's Hopfgarten, Itter or Kelchsau
- a winter holiday is just not complete
without an evening on a toboggan run. Take
the last lift up the mountain, stop off
for a winter warmer, and off you go!
Sledge Riding
A magical journey through the forested Penningberg
on a genuine 'two-horse open sleigh.' There's
even time to relax at a mountain Gasthof
to 'jingle those bells.'
Parapenting
For the more adventurous why not leap off
a mountain - in tandem with your own fully
qualified instructor, of course! An exhilarating
experience with unparalleled views.
Backpackers Winter
Olympics
Camera…lights…action - well almost
the real thing! Flood lit night-skiing,
crazy competitions, fun activities to the
DJ's beat - come and join us above the village
centre and take up the challenge.
Ice skating
Why not try your hand at the traditional
winter sport of ice skating on a frozen
alpine lake? Afterwards you can enjoy some
typical Austrian cuisine in the mountain
restaurant.
Innsbruck
The historic capital city of the Austrian
Tyrol is home to the awe-inspiring Olympic
ski jump and legendary Golden Roof. Contiki's
day excursion takes in the sights and gives

streets of this nearby market town.
