AIESEC Alumni skiing on Reiteralm, Austria


For the next few days we joined the AIESEC Alumni Winterevent on the Reiteralm. We shared a big luxury cabin including sauna and jacuzzi.

Cabin 28

After skiing, we went to the sauna or the jacuzzi and enjoyed the view of the Dachstein mountains.



Every evening, we cooked together - Spaghettig Bolognese, Raclette, Fondue and Asia Wok food.

Table set for Raclette dinner

Slopes
Good and wide slopes on Reiteralm. Black pistes fall a bit short or are only small slopes. 
Connection to Fageralm by Skibus - if you take the right slope down you end directly at the bus stop. Only a handful of slopes await you but they were empty and you could cruise just fine on them. 
Planai, Rohrmoos, Schladming and Hauser Kaibling are connected by lifts and slopes to Reiteralm. To return to Reiteralm you have take Fritz Blitz - a kind of magic carpet with a tube around and music.

At another point you have to take the gondola to the valley as there is no connection piste and then another two or three lifts uphill. So going back is not as much fun as coming.

Snow & Weather
Very warm - we had usually around 9 degrees and got rid off all unnecessary clothes. The snow was good only in the early morning or in the shadow. To make things worse it started raining on Saturday, so we were completely wet by lunch time and soon after called it a day. 

Restaurants
Lena Alm/ Reiteralm -  our regular lunch meeting point. Also well accessible for non-skiers and beginners. Sun terrace is split in self-service and served area. The later can be fitted with roof and heaters in case of bad weather. Good food but beware of the waitress wanting to sell you extra salads. Good value for money for the Lena Törtchen dessert - a chocolate cake with cherry sauce and cream.

Du & I Alm/ Hauser Kaibling - directly in the middle of slope 2. Great value for money - we recommend the Sacher cake. 

Specialties 
Wifi spots at several valley and top stations - working fine. 
On top of Hauser Kaibling there were swings in the sun to relax a bit.
