FAQs

• Hopfgarten im Brixental: Will I have a trip manager on this trip? There’s no trip manager on this trip. But don’t worry. If you have any questions during your stay, the on-site Winter Team at Hopfgarten will sort you out. They’ll give you all the info you need about the local village, things to do and recommendations for great local eateries too. (And you’ll also be introduced to your Contiki fam through them!). They might not be guides in the traditional sense, but you’ll see that they have everything you need for an epic ski experience.
• Hopfgarten im Brixental: Where can I find more information on Ski lift passes and equipment hire?? Your lift pass and equipment hire can be arranged on arrival. Wanna know how much to budget? Check out our page about ski extras.
• Hopfgarten im Brixental: How does the transfer work from the train station? When you get to Worgl Train Station, walk out the front and look for one of our Contiki Team – they will be on a classic Contiki Coach or a white van. The shuttles depart at 8:30am, 10:30am, 2:30pm & 4:30pm – and luckily, you don’t need to pre book.
• Hopfgarten im Brixental: How do I get from the accommodation to the slopes? Good news! We offer free daily shuttles to and from Haus Schoneck from 8am-10am (every ½ hour) and returning from 3pm-6pm (every ½ hour).
• Hopfgarten im Brixental: Can I have dinner at the accommodation? Yes, of course! You can sign up for the Half Board option - which includes 2 courses of hearty home-cooked food, available for 3 nights. On the other night of your stay, you’ll have the opportunity to explore local restaurants since the kitchen is closed. You can make the payment for that in the resort.
• Hopfgarten im Brixental: Can I pay by card/apple pay? At Haus Schoneck, you’re welcome to pay by cash or card. But we highly recommend that you get some cash for the local restaurants. The Gasthofs on the mountain only accept cash sometimes. Forgot to bring cash? Don’t worry. There are 3 ATMs in the Hopfgarten.
• Hopfgarten im Brixental: What is the ski area like? The Skiwelt Wilder Kaiser Brixental is one of Europe’s largest interconnected ski resorts. We’re talking over 270 kms of ski runs, 70 lifts & cable cars and 80 mountain huts. So, what’s the ski area like, you ask? Pretty darn awesome, we’d say.
• Hopfgarten im Brixental: I have never skied or snowboarded before, can I book lessons? Yep! We highly recommend taking lessons, so you learn the right techniques and information (and can enjoy skiing the way you’re supposed to!). Group lessons start on a Sunday and can be booked for up to 3 days.Familiar with skiing but want a refresher? You can join intermediate and advanced lessons. You can take private lessons upon request too. We’ve been working with our local ski school for over 15 years. So you can only imagine how many of our travellers have taken lessons with them! If you’re on a Weekender trip, you might not be able to book a group lesson. But you’re always welcome to book a private one if you like.
