Extras
This traditional and picturesque Austrian ski resort is located in the Amade region, one of the largest ski areas in Europe. Located at the foot of the Bischofsmutze mountain and the Dachstein glacier, the resort offers great snow for skiing and downhill runs straight into the village The Filzmoos ski area covers around 13 km of slopes, including two big ski mountains – the Rossbrand at an altitude of 1,600 metres in the south and the Grossberg sunshine oasis in the north. There are slopes to suit everyone. For beginners the selection of gentle nursery slopes are ideally located at the Grossberg chairlift near the village centre. For intermediates the main area is the Grossberg where the Grossberg and Mooslehen chairlifts connect to the Neuberg valley. The Papageno gondola takes you to the Moosalm pistes from where you can ski fantastic slopes back down to the village. For the more advanced skier, the black run is accessed by the Papageno gondola and descends from the Schneekanone hut. In addition, there is a racing run to whizz down – the Michaela-Kirchgasser-FIS run on the Grossberg lift.

This can be hired in the resort where you will be advised about the most suitable equipment for your standard of skiing. It is very important to have ski boots that are comfortable and fit well, so do not be afraid to keep going back and changing your boots until you get a good fit. For your safety, we advise that you wear a ski helmet wherever possible.
Approx Prices
On a skiing holiday, dress is generally very informal, the emphasis being on comfort and warmth. We recommend that you pack a pair of skiing trousers and warm ski jacket or a waterproof shell and separate fleece lining or an all-in-one ski suit. Thermal or silk underwear is recommended. Cotton/cotton mix roll necks, T-shirts or sweatshirts; several thin layers are better than one thick layer. Ski socks, ski gloves or mitts and a hat or headband are suggested. Where temperatures are expected to be well below zero, take a facemask or balaclava. Moon boots or waterproof walking shoes are a “must”. Suntan cream (high protective factor), lip salve, sunglasses and/or goggles are all very useful items to pack. Casual clothes are ideal for the evenings; it is unusual on skiing holidays to dress formally in the evenings.
We suggest a Group Collection to cover transfer drivers, and hotel staff of €20.00 per person. Your Tour Leader will collect this on your behalf and distribute it accordingly, thus relieving you of the burden of who, when and how much to tip. The tipping of housekeeping will be left to your individual discretion (a small amount left in your room on departure should cover this and would be much appreciated). As is customary, ‘the hat’ will be passed around for the driver and guide on all optional excursions. For any meals that are not included in your itinerary, or taxi fares, your Tour Leader can advise of an appropriate % to add on. If you choose to have ski lessons, you may also like to thank your ski instructor at the end of the week with a token of appreciation.
I was so nervous about embarking on my first Solos Holiday, but I shouldn’t have been – it was the best thing I have ever done!
Wow! Got to see the famous shipwreck beach in Zakynthos with Solos. Can’t wait to discover more of their destinations!
Our tour leader Monica was exceptional! Had such a good time and will be rebooking with Solos. Thanks for a great holiday!
