A.L.P.S.-National Skiing Trip 

Date: Fri, 24.11.2023 - Sun, 26.11.2023

Ever heard of Austrias national sport? 

Damn right, it´s skiiing and it would be a pity 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 ESN Austria 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 one part of the skiing experience. Wehen the ski lifts close around 4 p.m., Austrians often passionately engage in something called Aprés Ski- something you surely wouldn´t want to miss out!

From 24.11.-26.11.2023 over 200 exchange students form all over Austria will gather in Mölltal, a true glacier with skiing slopes to spend an incredible weeekend full of skiing, party and fun! Let us show you how we ski!

Don´t miss out on that amazing opportunity & join ESN A.L.P.S. - the peak of your exchange semester!
