STUDENT Life in vienna

Ski Week is a unique opportunity for sporty and adventurous students to learn and improve their skiing skills while experiencing the breathtaking beauty of the Austrian Alps. Please note that our Ski Week is not intended as a party event, and excessive alcohol consumption is strictly prohibited. We expect all participants to adhere to our code of conduct, which prioritizes respectful behavior and a safe, healthy, and enjoyable experience for all.

The IiVP Ski Week is our most ambitious optional excursion. It occurs prior to each spring semester and includes a unique, exhilarating experience in the Austrian Alps, learning respect for nature while learning to ski or improving one's skills. Two separate weeks are offered, usually in the last two weeks of January, prior to the start of our programs in Vienna.  For a glimpse of our Ski Week venue and more information, see the Berghotel Seidl-Alm.

Lodging + three daily meals, round-trip transportation from Vienna, ski equipment rental, and ski instruction  are included in the Ski Week fee.
