So many runs, so little time. This will be your only dilemma when skiing the 250km (155 miles) of runs in the Tyrolean ‘Ski Welt’ region. Ski Welt was recently voted 'Top Resort' out of 70 resorts in 8 countries! It's an ideal place for all levels of skiers and snowboarders. And with English speaking instructors and the latest models of skis available for hire, Contiki helps you hit the slopes with ease.

Stay in the heart of the action in Hopfgarten at Contiki's very own chalet, Gasthof Schöneck, where the adventures on the mountain are equalled by the off-piste entertainment. Try tandem paragliding, enjoy a sleigh ride, or go ice-skating. Or if you need some time away from the slopes, day trip to Salzburg, Innsbruck or Kitzbuhel. After dark there’s aprés ski “Contiki-style”, Gasthof theme parties, and ‘Schnappy hour’. And be sure to check out the diverse nightlife of Hopfgarten, including outdoor schnaps stands, lively bars and late night clubs. Any way you look at it, it’s going to be an unforgettable experience!
