Krippenstein offers some of the best free-riding in the world. Our partnership with Outdoor Leadership takes this adventure to the next level.
Head deep into the Alps for this epic ski and snowboard trip. Austria has a vibrant ski and snowboard culture, and hosts the most ski resorts in Europe! The charming lakeside town of Hallstatt will be your home base as you explore resorts in the nearby mountains. Terrain is exciting and varied in this region, including glacier skiing and riding, long speedy groomers, and powdery tree runs. The majority of terrain at Krippenstein is categorized as freeride, and your guides will be key in showing you the best unmarked spots. We’ve partnered with the local guides at Outdoor Leadership to make sure your time on snow is awesome. There is even an opportunity on this trip to do a bootpack up the Dachstein Glacier for some untracked lines. We have linked up with CAPITA snowboards to provide guests on this trip with a visit to the Mothership snowboard factory and a exclusive graphic evoTrip snowboard! Wunderbar!

1
Arrive at Munich Int’l airport by 2pm local time. Meet the group next to the information counter in the Munich Airport Center on Level 3. Once we have located our group, we will travel by private coach to Hallstatt. This will be about a 3 hour ride. We will check in and eat dinner at the beautiful Heritage Hotel Hallstatt and then get a good night’s sleep to prepare for our first day on the hill. -
2
Meet for breakfast at 7am to outline the day and get to know the group. Get ready and meet in the lobby by 8:30. For our first day of riding, we’ll likely head to Gosau Resort, do some bootpacking to find fresh snow and get warmed up with the guides from Outdoor Leadership. We will eat lunch on the mountain and end the day with a sunset walk through Hallstatt followed by dinner at the hotel. -
3
Repeat! If there is fresh powder, we load up on carbs and smoked sausage before heading to Krippenstein to catch the first tram to the top of the mountain. See how many times you can make it down the 1500m, 11km run before wearing out. Back at the lodge, enjoy some time in the sauna before dinner. After riding at Krippenstein, you'll fall asleep early and easily. -
4
Meet up for breakfast early before heading for an epic trip to the Dachstein Glacier. This day will include a great deal of hiking and traversing as we work our way from the top of the glacier with several descents and many opportunities to earn your turns as we ski and ride all the way back to town. Lunch will be at Simony Hut, an alpine refuge that dates back to the late 1800's. -
5
This will be the day we head to the CAPITA snowboards factory, aka The Mothership! Learn about some history of the brand, see how every part of manufacturing a CAPiTA snowboard works, and leave with a custom evoTrip graphic snowboard. After lunch at a family restaurant at a local resort (with optional ride down to base area), load back into our private transportation and head back to Hallstatt. -
6
Meet up for breakfast at 7am and check the weather. We'll likely head back to Krippenstein or Gosau depending on the groups preference, for tree runs and high alpine exploration or more resort riding. At the end of the day we'll enjoy a beer with our guides before heading back into Hallstatt. -
7
Enjoy your final breakfast at the Heritage Hotel before checking out. Walk through Hallstatt and by the lake one last time to meet the private coach to Munich. We'll explore the city, grab a beer at the Hofbräuhaus and fill up on currywurst. -
8
Enjoy your last morning in Munich before heading to the airport for your trip home. Auf Wiedersehen!

FAQ
FAQ
-
Can I choose my roommate?
Yes. If you have a roommate request, please let us know. By default, we will place two people of the same sex in each room with two beds. -
Can I book a private room?
Yes, based on availability. Single Occupancy rooms may be available at an additional cost of $500. Please check in with Customer Care before booking if this will determine your participation. -
I am a beginner / intermediate / advanced level of skier / snowboarder. Will there be terrain for me?
We recommend this trip for intermediate and above skiers and riders. More specifically, this tour is best suited to skiers and snowboarders who can link turns in powder snow, can make a variety of turn shapes and can traverse, hold speed and are adventurous when skiing and snowboarding the entire mountain. Familiarity with riding off-piste is highly beneficial on this trip as your descent down the Dachstein Glacier and down to Hallstatt will be almost completely off-piste. Terrain and snow quality vary during this trip, and we recommend being comfortable with steep entry and exits to off-piste terrain, which are sometime narrow as well. Side-slipping is always possible on the routes we follow, and sometimes necessary to safely descend. For most people with average fitness, the boot-packing on this trip will be manageable. The longest hikes the group will do last about 30 minutes. -
Can I (or my partner) come even if I don't ski or snowboard?
Yes. The primary activity on these trips is skiing/snowboarding; however, there may be options if you or your loved one does not currently participate. There are English-speaking ski schools in Austria, you can sign up for lessons and rentals at an additional cost (we can help book this). For folks not interested in learning to ski / snowboard, we may be able to help coordinate other activities, such as visits to a spa, yoga or snow shoeing. -
What is included in this trip?
This trip includes: Transportation by private coach from the Munich airport to Hallstatt and back into Munich. Six nights stay at Heritage Hotel Hallstatt and one night stay at a hotel in Munich, Germany. All breakfasts and dinners at the Heritage Hotel Hallstatt.

We strongly recommend that you purchase travel insurance to protect your flight and belongings as well as cover medical expenses. We recommend planning to spend $300-$600 on meals, drinks, entertainment and gifts. Single room requests available for an additional fee. -
What gear should I bring?
You can find a complete gear list above. Some people bring more than one snowboard / skis (one for powder, one for all-mountain), this is not a requirement. Bringing two pairs of skis can potentially put your bag over weight and be expensive. -

-
I am going to come early / stay longer; can I do something with my snow gear?
There are ski storage lockers available at several central locations in Munich, for an average cost of 5 Euros per day. We are happy to help you plan an extended stay.

We recommend that you bring some snacks just in case. -
