Do you know what Austria’s national sport is? Damn right, it’s skiing and it would be a pitty to do an exchange in our beautiful country without at least having tried to balance yourself on two wooden sticks (or one if you’re on the dark side with the cookies a.k.a. a snowboarder). This is why we created the ESN A.L.P.S. - Action - Leisure - Party - Ski for you!
However, for us Austrians spending a day on the snowy slopes is only part of the skiing experience. When the “ski lifts” close around 4pm, Austrians often passionately engage in something called Aprés Ski – something you surely wouldn’t want to miss out on!
From March 29.-31. exchange students from all over Austria will gather in Bad Gastein, one of Austria’s most famous skiing places, to spend an incredible weekend full of skiing, party and fun!
Let us show you how we ski!
