On the slopes
Centred near the historic town of Murau in the Murtal region of Styria, the Kreischberg-Lachtal ski area is a true insider’s secret. Our school ski trip groups are based on the Frauenalpe mountain where you can ski out to your very own 36 hectares of slopes. The Frauenalpe rises to 2004 metres and guarantees uniquely natural snow conditions all winter in a fairytale landscape. The variety of runs in this compact area are brilliant for beginners or younger groups making tracks in the snow for the first time. Once you’ve found your ski legs, head off to Kreischberg itself, a 25 minute drive away on well-maintained roads. Host to the FIS Snowboard and Freestyle World Championship in 2015, Kreischberg offers 40 km of pristine slopes for skiers of all abilities. At the 2050 summit you can enjoy one of Europe’s biggest funparks, a tubing arena or measure your speed in the slalom and timed ski run. Our chosen ski school has many years of experience and is happy to teach groups in both areas.

Après-ski
The Frauenalpe Sportzentrum, where you will be staying, offers a huge variety of in-house activities and you are a short walk away from enjoying a traditional Styrian evening at the Alpengasthof Krische. The historic village of Murau is a short drive down the mountain and is definitely worth visiting for souvenir shopping, sightseeing and enjoying a hot chocolate in one of its many cafés.

FAQs
Find the answers to some of our most frequently asked questions.
You will have your own bilingual ski rep for the whole week. Their role is to coordinate your skiing arrangements and entertainment and to ensure your stay is enjoyable, safe and memorable. All our reps are carefully selected, fully trained and are on duty 24-hours a day should any emergency arise.
Snow Security: Snow cannons operate in all our resorts to assist satisfactory snow cover on the lower slopes. This means in many Austrian resorts, skiing is now possible from early December until late April making Easter skiing an attractive proposition.
Snow Guarantee: We will pay up to £30 per person per day towards additional costs of transport and lift pass if all the lifts in your resort are closed due to adverse weather conditions or lack of snow.
Once your school ski trip is booked, it is safely in our hands. We will only ask for your assistance in understanding your specific requirements and you will be responsible for ensuring that the dates on our checklist are adhered to.
