Security Deposit

Once you have arrived at the hotel for check in, you will be required to pay a security deposit for your apartment.  This is a total of €100 per apartment which can be paid via card. This is a refundable security deposit, therefore depending if no damages are caused during your stay, it will be refunded at the end of the week.

Personal Safelty 

All The Ski Week events are extremely safe. However, as you will find yourselves in unfamiliar surroundings, we recommend that you follow some basic precautions. We’ll lay it out simple for you:

Lock your hotel room and lockers when you leave and store expensive possessions, travel documents, and extra cash in a hidden spot.

Stay with other TSW guests and staff whenever possible

Avoid parties and venues not on the itinerary or recommended by TSW

Walking home in the cold alone is not not a good idea. No one wants to leave a party alone, so buddy up some friends to accompany you home

Wear proper gear both on and off the mountains. Refer to our Essentials Packing List for the full list of everything you will need!

Onsite, The Ski Week has the means to contact authorities when necessary. In the event of an emergency, please find a crew member immediately.

Electricity

The plugs primarily used in Austria have two round pins operates on a 230V supply voltage and 50Hz. If you are travelling from North America, the UK, Australia or South America; you may need an adaptor to fit the European electrical receptacles. You may also need a converter to change the voltage from from your country’s standard to 230 volts.

Local Currency 

The local currency is Euro. Foreign currency isn’t accepted. Cash is king out there as not all venues, restaurants and rental shops will take card.

You will need to cover the tourist tax of €2,45 per person per night directly with the hotel upon check in.

Additional Costs

You will have to cover your own food and drinks throughout the week. Expect to pay €10-15 for lunch, €20-30 for dinner and €5 for a beer. Transfer €80 and Ski/Snowboard rental is available under the ‘Extras’ tab on your booking profile.

Personal Travel Insurance

By booking with us, you are not covered by a personal travel insurance policy. It is your responsibility to have personal travel insurance for the duration of your trip and that it covers activities such as skiing. We highly recommend that all guests purchase such a policy. Safety first, folks.
