What a WeSki trip actually includes

Every example in this section is a real package booked through WeSki. You can see exactly what the group got - hotel, flights, transfer, lift pass and extras - so you can picture your own trip before you build it.

Hotel ★★★★

The House Zell Am See

Zell am See, Austria

2 adults and 1 child • 2 bedrooms • 7 nights • Sat 6 - Sat 13 Feb 2027

Zell am See resort guide
The House Zell Am See, its timber and glass facade seen from the street

Why they picked this

A modern four-star in Zell am See itself rather than out by a lift station, so a family of three had the lakeside town, its restaurants and the Schmittenhöhe gondola all on foot.

Zell am See, Salzburg, Austria

Flying from: London Gatwick (LGW), back into Southend

Booked: 7 Jun 2026, 7 months ahead

Room

Why they picked this

A two-bedroom suite that sleeps up to six, taken by three: a separate room for their teenager, and space to spread wet kit out. Breakfast included meant one fewer decision each morning.

Flights

Why they picked this

Direct both ways into Salzburg, under two hours each leg. Landing at 13:45 put them in resort by late afternoon, and the 14:10 flight home left the last morning free.

Out of Gatwick and back into Southend, so it is worth checking how you get home from the airport. 3 hold bags were added as an extra, one each, 23kg round trip. Ski and board carriage is booked separately, per person.

Transfer

Why they picked this

For three people with skis and hold bags, a car waiting at Salzburg beat waiting for a shuttle to fill. It dropped them at the hotel door rather than at a drop-off point in town.

Private car with a dedicated driver, used for the airport transfer to Zell am See

Private transfer

Door-to-door car for the three of them, both ways.

No waiting time for a driver

Around 2h 30m estimated travel time, each way

Ski passes

Passes are set per person, so a shorter pass - or none at all - is possible for anyone not skiing every day.

Why they picked this

The Alpin Card rather than a Zell am See-only pass. It adds the Kitzsteinhorn glacier above Kaprun and the whole Saalbach circuit, so three skiers of different levels had somewhere new to go on day four.

3 × Alpin Card pass

408 km of runs

Number of slopes by level:

Beginner140 slopes
Intermediate112 slopes
Expert18 slopes

Valid for 6 days, excl. arrival and departure days

Covers Zell am See, Kaprun and Saalbach

Extras and add-ons

Why they picked this

All three hired gear rather than flying with skis, and in two different packs - an entry-level set for one, better skis for the other two. The hold bags then only had to carry clothes.
