Asked Questions
How
can the holidays be offered at such prices?
Tyrolean Adventures
Limited is a small family run company that has no wish to greatly
expand therefore I am able to keep my overheads to the absolute
minimum. I have also lived in Austria for the past 7 winter
seasons, gaining the trust and friendship of many people in the
village of Hochfilzen enabling me to gain superb discounts that
are not normally available.

Why
have I not heard of your company?
I rarely advertise
again to reduce overheads but mainly I depend on 'word of mouth'.
75% of my clients return and normally persuade family or friends
to accompany them.

How
long is the journey?
The coach generally
leaves Calais at midnight and arrives in Austria just after lunch.
The coaches are normally restricted to 40 persons to allow extra
room. They are spacious and comfortable but a pillow is advised.

What
is the area like for Skiing and Summer activities ?
Skiing
The resort with
the most reliable snow conditions in the Tyrol, with 25 lifts and
65 km of well serviced pistes - from runs of deep snow to nursery
slopes and racing courses - and access to Schneewinkel extensive
ski area (62 lifts, 150 km of runs). For the Nordic skier
there are 53 km of well-prepared cross-country trails, the site
of the Biathlon world championships, world cup and several other
championships.
The ski areas
of Fieberbrunn and Hochfilzen are within a 15 minute drive of the
hotel and receives/retains far more snow than its neighbour Kitzbuhel.
Fieberbrunn has a vertical drop of 1220 mtrs and recent investment
into the ski lift system covering 65 km of un-crowded piste all
adds up to an area offering great skiing and snowboarding (the ISF's
Lord of the Boards is held here annually and has a superb floodlight
half-pipe) for all standards.

find no shortage of challenges in the area.
