Hintertux Glacier, a haven for ski race and freestyle training, is the ideal European glacier venue for an early summer camp. The high-altitude glacier guarantees good snow conditions at the start of the summer season, while the Zillertal valley offers a range of activities off the snow. The sunny weather allows for hiking, trail running, and outdoor fitness activities, with our excellent base in Lanersbach offering the perfect camp setup.

The Base
The Base
The SASC camp base will be in Mayrhofen, home of "The Brits" freestyle championships and the infamous Snowbombing festival. Just 30 minutes from the glacier gondola, you can choose self-catering or half-board accommodation. There will be a fully kitted out ski tuning workshop for all your servicing needs, with SASC coaches on hand to support.
The surround Zillertal valley offers plenty of afternoon sporting opportunities including courts and pitches, hiking opportunities, swimming pools and spa facilities. The town centre of Mayrhofen is bustling with cafes, restaurants and bars, too.

Travel

Travel to resort is not included in the camp, however we can still help you out.
Airport Transfers
Airport Transfers
For those arriving at either Munich or Innsbruck airports, Mayrhofen is very easy to reach:
Transfers with Four Seasons: tirol-taxi.at
Individuals can book as part of a shared transfer which is usually the cheapest option - be sure to book enough space for your luggage. If there are several of you travelling together, it may be better to book a private transfer.Public transport
From Munich airport, it's easy to take the S-Bahn (metro) to Munich Central Station and take the train towards Innsbruck, either direct or changing at Kufstein, on the Austrian border. Take the train as far as Jenbach.
From Innsbruck, a bus takes you to Innsbruck Central Train Station, where you can get the train to Jenbach.
From Jenbach, either take the Zillertalbahn train or bus to Mayrhofen.
Equipment
Equipment
The SASC team van will be leaving from and returning to Edinburgh either side of the camp, with limited space for your equipment and luggage. This is primarily for taking skis & poles, to help with luggage costs and logistics. There is a small charge for this of £15 each way per item, and space availability is subject to the volume of equipment. You would need to get your items to Edinburgh in good time ahead of the camp, and collect them from there on the van's return.
Information Packs

We want to make it as easy as possible for the SASC Summer Camp to be your next official university club trip. That's why we've put together two information packs, one for the club and one for your institution. These packs contain all the information about the camp and how to book.
