Our Friends in Austria Old and New

June 26, 2024

This month Alison Wareham, our head of ski was delighted to be out in Austria catching up with some of our amazing suppliers.

Our school ski trips to Austria really are the best in the business thanks to the very strong relationship between us and the wonderful people behind our accommodation and ski schools.

"The purpose of my visit," said Alison, "was to see how everyone is doing, what worked well last ski season and to discuss any improvements or changes for next winter.

"Austria is beautiful at this time of year; the flowers are out everywhere, cows are grazing on the “alms” (Alpine pastureland) and people are literally making hay while the sun shines. But they always have time for a quick coffee and a catch-up. Now more than ever it feels essential to keep up relationships with our suppliers abroad as they are such a key part of what makes our ski trips so special."

Here are just some of the places Alison visited in the Salzburger Sportwelt and Saalbach-Hinterglemm:

"We have built fantastic relationships with all our suppliers over the years," added Alison, "and are always really pleased to welcome new partners and places to our Club Europe ski family. In turn they are fabulous hosts, who are looking forward to welcoming more of our young skiers next winter (or summer!)."
