Ski trip to Gerlitzen

Gerlitzen is a small, quiet resort that is incredibly child friendly, making it a great choice for a school ski trip to Austria. Well-groomed runs, cosy mountain huts and the relative rarity of having to queue for lifts make a school ski trip to Gerlitzen a wonderful experience for the whole group. And, despite its small size, it has a great ski pedigree - it's the home of Winter Olympic gold medallist Matthias Mayer.

School Ski Trip to Gerlitzen

Skiing in Gerlitzen

The 45km of slopes provide great progression with a variety of shorter and longer blues, as well as a good selection of reds. The size of the ski area provides enough variety while also being small enough that teachers can keep track of where all their groups are on the mountain. The ski school are very used to dealing with school groups and are very flexible and accommodating to their specific needs. The gondola is just a 10-minute drive from the hotel.

Once you’ve booked, your dedicated Itinerary Coordinator will start work on the finer details. They’ll make sure your ski lessons, ski hire and après-ski activities are all sorted and they’ll take on most of the other admin tasks for your trip (so you can look forward to the trip as much as the kids).

While you’re abroad, you’ll be looked after by a Halsbury rep based in your resort. And Halsbury HQ staff will be on the end of the phone 24 hours a day. You’ll get a final info pack before you go with all the info you need, plus access to all your trip documents on the Vamoos app.

After your trip

When you return from your trip, we’ll ask you to complete a detailed feedback survey, so we can continue our service. This is also the perfect time to start planning your next trip, so you can give parents plenty of time to pay for it (and make it easier for you).
