Club holiday - Bad Hofgastein January 2025

The second club holiday in 2025 will be in Bad Hofgastein for the week commencing Saturday January 25th 2025.  It is set in the beautiful Gastein valley, part of a 220km ski area, one of the biggest in Austria. Noted for its spas, it also has enough bars and restaurants to entertain guests. We have reservations in the 4* Norica Hotel, only a few minutes walk from a newly installed gondola or the bus stop is outside the hotel.  The hotel is a very popular one with Irish guests. The airport transfer is about 1 hour and 30 mins.  The basic price for half board hotel, flights and transfers will be approx €1870, to be confirmed. A very limited number of single rooms will be available for €2125 to be confirmed. Extras will include lift pass, ski tuition (if desired) and equipment rental (if required).   

The February holiday caters for all grades of skier from near-beginner, through intermediate and advanced.   Ages range from young adults to people in their seventies with the majority spread in between.   Many of those who have been on previous club holidays enrol in the local Ski School. Others prefer to free ski – the choice is yours.   For advanced skiers, it is hoped to get into the off-piste as much as possible. We really encourage any individual or grouping who wants to ski but for a variety of reasons must do so on their own, to come with us.  Within 24 hours, they will feel part of the group.  We have taken a provisional booking of rooms with the tour operator Topflight  Holidays and it is very unlikely that we will get an increase.   As there is a finite number of rooms available in the hotel, it is strongly advised that earliest possible bookings are made.   So please contact 295-5658 or holidays@skiclub.ie and put your €200 deposit down (€250 for non-members) to secure your place.
