About Us
The IAEA Ski Club is a non-profit organization run by volunteer staff members for VIC grounds pass holders and their families.
The Club arranges downhill skiing trips for its members and, where space allows, their guests throughout the ski season. If you are new to the VIC, Vienna, Austria or skiing, the IAEA Ski Club is a fantastic and friendly introduction to all four. It is a wonderful opportunity to meet new people, see and breathe Austria’s beautiful alpine landscape and, of course, learn to ski.
Most trips are over a two-day weekends leaving on Friday at 17:00, however, two three-day trips leave on Thursday at 17:00. There is also a weeklong adventure further afield in St Anton. Two-day trips cost €220–€260 and three-day trips €450–€460. Both include:
- Round trip on a non-smoking bus
- Half-board in shared double occupancy rooms
- Professional downhill instruction at all levels
- Not included are lift passes, but a group purchase (at a discount) is arranged on the bus. Passes usually cost €50–€65 per day.
- Children sharing a room with their parents normally receive a discount of about 20%.
Advice for Beginners
The Club is a great place to learn to ski from scratch with excellent classes from qualified instructors and all the logistics taken care of. Inevitably, some trips and areas are better than others for absolute beginners, namely:
Schladming and Hinterstoder.
Coming on those trips early in the season should give you the grounding and confidence to enjoy any of the others.
If you feel you need extra classes or practice, try going to the Zauberberg (Semmering) or Stuhleck ski areas and taking a class or two there. Both are about an hour away from Vienna. Semmering can be reached by train.
See the Equipment page for advice on renting gear.
Cancellations and Refunds
Cancellations will be accepted and refunds given until 17:00 on sign-up day. If a member cancels after that time, he or she must find a substitute, preferably of the same sex due to room assignment considerations, or forfeit payment.
No refunds will otherwise be given; however, money collected in excess of trip costs will be put in a charity fund and disbursed at the end of the season.
