Experience the Austrian Alps, home to some of the world's best freeriding. A free, freshly pressed CAPiTA snowboard and legendary local guides take 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 the snow is incredible. In addition to Krippenstein, ski & ride Schladming, Gosau, and the Dachstein Glacier for some untracked lines. Receive a free, custom snowboard from our partners at CAPiTA, as well as a visit to the Mothership snowboard factory! Wunderbar!

Plans may evolve with weather & guides' judgement, we strive to find the best conditions each day

ITINERARY

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.

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 warm-up laps 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.

Today, we'll head to the iconic Austrian resort of Schladming. With 4 mountains and over 70 lifts, including lengthy top to bottom descents, the options are endless -- and your guides will take you to the goods. Unwind back at our lakeside lodge in Hallstatt, and perhaps enjoy some time in the sauna before dinner.

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.

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.

Fuel up on a hearty breakfast 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. At the end of the day we'll enjoy a well deserved apres beverage with our guides, and cheers to our epic week in the Alps.

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, visit the iconic Hofbräuhaus and savor local delicacies like currywurst.

Enjoy your last morning in Munich, say a fond farewell to friends old and new, before heading to the airport for your trip home. Auf Wiedersehen!

Location Details

Explore Austria's wide open pow fields in the upper high alpine mountains which give way to tree runs and fun (optional) drops. For over a decade, we've partnered with the renowned guides & local legends of Outdoor Leadership to find the best runs both on- and off-piste, each day and all week long. From amazing freeriding on the Dachstein Glacier to the resort of Schladming's long descents across 4 mountains, you'll discover for yourself what makes skiing & snowboarding the Austrian Alps truly iconic.

Nestled between mountains and a lake, this fairy-tale hotel is a minute's walk from the Hallstatt Museum and a short ride to Krippenstein and Gosau. The warm rooms feature wood beams, free Wifi, Nespresso machines and flat-screen TVs. The rooms offer balconies or terraces with views of Lake Hallstatt or the market square. The regional fare prepared each night makes for the perfect end to a long day of riding. If you're not relaxed enough, spend the afternoon in the sauna or take a walk through the narrow, history-filled streets of Hallstatt.

FAQs

Is my trip guaranteed to run?


Yes! This trip is confirmed and guaranteed to run. Please wait until you receive confirmation from the evoTrip team before finalizing travel arrangements.

When and how do I meet up with the group?


Please plan to arrive at Munich Airport by 2pm on Sunday. We will provide additional information on our meeting location and a map of the terminal.

What skill level is required for this trip?

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 just pay the full amount now? When is the full amount due?


Yes. You can pay the full amount now, but we will consider $1,000 to be a non-refundable deposit in accordance with our terms and conditions. The full payment is due 60 days prior to departure.

Can I choose my roommate?

Of course! If you have a roommate request, please let us know. By default, we will place two people of the same gender in each room with two beds.

Can I book a private room? Is there a single supplement?

Yes, though based on availability. Single Occupancy rooms may be available at an additional cost of $600. Please check in with Customer Care before booking if this will determine your participation.

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?

Four days of skiing at the surrounding resort. Custom CAPiTA snowboard. Recommendations for food, drink and entertainment in Hallstatt and in Munich.

What gear should I bring?


We will email you a complete packing list. Some people bring more than one snowboard / skis (one for powder, one for all-mountain), though this is not a requirement.

I am going to come early or 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 7 Euros per day. We are happy to help you plan an extended stay. (Visit https://www.mvv-muenchen.de/en/the-mvv/mvv-und-service/customer-service/luggage-storage/index.html for more information on storage).

What if I have dietary restrictions, can those be accommodated?

Yes. Being a vegetarian is easy, though you may not be able to find great alternative protein options. The restaurant in Hallstatt will not be kosher nor halal, but there will be fish and vegetable options available at every meal. For all dietary restrictions, please let us know in advance. We recommend that you bring some snacks just in case.

Do I need travel insurance?

While it is not required, we always recommend purchasing travel insurance for all trips. Travel insurance allows you to seek reimbursement if you are forced to cancel your trip for unforeseeable reasons, or if you need to cover medical help, emergency transport, theft and/or accidental damage while traveling. We recommend World Nomads.

What if I need to cancel?

If you cannot or no longer wish to join your scheduled trip, we offer the option to forward your deposit to a future evoTrip (at no cost) up to 65 days prior to departure date. However, if you need to cancel, the deposit for the trip is non-refundable and cancellations will be subject to a cancellation fee (see policy below).

All cancellations must be submitted to evo in writing, are effective as of the date we receive them according to our internal records, and will be subject to a cancellation fee as follows (amounts are per person and only apply to amount paid after the non-refundable deposit amount): Cancellation 60 days or more prior to trip departure - Non-Refundable Deposit.
