07:55 – SKI LESSONS

For those taking ski lessons, the meeting point is on the mountain, so we recommend leaving the hotel just before 08:00.

We would recommend the following timings:

  • 07:55 – leave hotel and walk down to Bründl Sport.
  • 08:05 – Get hire equipment sorted at Bründl sport and also take out a depot locker, so you can leave everything else in here that you don’t need.
  • 08:35 – Take the Penken cable car up to the top.
  • 08:50 – Meet instructors. Exit the gondola, see a yellow box, walk there, say you’re from ASHURST, and you’re good to go. Please arrive at the meeting point a little early – around 08:50.

If there are any problems finding instructors, please give Snowsports Mayrhofen ski school a call:

From 08:00 – EQUIPMENT RENTAL

Leave the hotel for the short walk to the ski hire shop, Bründl Sports. The shop is approximately a 10-minute walk from the hotel and directly at the Penkenbahn cable car.

Bründl has a list of all names from ‘Ashurst’, so they receive a 10% discount.

However, guests will need to do a quick check-in at the terminal with all their details.

Ski depots can also be rented and are recommended. There are 2er or 4er lockers. Guests simply use their lift ticket to open and close the locker.

We highly recommend that guests purchase additional individual ski equipment insurance with Bründl.

Avalanches and off-piste

The latest (generalised) avalanche bulletin can be found here:

https://avalanche.report/bulletin/latest

This report provides a general risk assessment for avalanches for a wide region and should be used as a guide only. The latest information posted by the lift company should be adhered to. Avalanches are an ever-present risk, and the best way to avoid them is to ski on marked ski pistes rather than ski routes or off-piste. Skiers and snowboarders leaving the marked pistes (irrespective of the avalanche level) are at increased danger. They should always carry the recommended avalanche rescue equipment (beacon, airbag, shovel, and probe) and always be accompanied by a qualified local guide.

Alcohol

Please be aware that lunches and apres ski take place on the mountain. Alcohol consumption will immediately imperil safety on the mountain. Those guests who feel they require assistance should contact the event organiser, who will organise an alternative non-ski route back to the valley.

Buddy system

Please ensure that you do not ski alone. Small groups should always let others know where they plan to ski.
