A world filled with wonder

During their day-time explorations, with saucer eyes, they not only re-discover themselves, but they also see their surroundings in a new light – interesting adventures, new experiences, exciting friendships with people they didn’t know the day before and who they will have forgotten about tomorrow, permeate the holiday. A vibrant rainbow filled with surprises. It is only today that counts. The moment is king. 

SKIING WITH WILLY

Winter has arrived in Saalbach – and the powder snow glistens and sparkles, spanning as far as the eye can see. Willy, the marmot, wants to learn how to ski too. When his wishes come true, it is so fantastic. Before Christmas Willy put his Christmas list in the window here in the Hotel Neuhaus and look – what has found under the Christmas tree? A marmot-sized helmet! So he is now looking forward to finally getting on to the piste! 

ABOUT MUNCHKINS AND SPEEDY MARMOTS

As a future Marmot Skiing Olympic Champion, he has taken a lot on. That is why he is also the first outside the hotel, already snapped in to his skis, waiting for his friends to waddle up in their ski shoes. And then it all gets going in the family-friendly ski area which has lots of beginners’ pistes, ski schools and even ski kindergartens. All piste munchkins and speedy marmots will learn good foundations for skiing here.

Willy is a quick learner and even by late morning he is making those first snow-plough turns in fun shapes. He can also slow up very well. After all, he has something to aim for. At the end of the week he wants to be the first marmot to win the final race and impress all of Skicircus Saalbach-Hinterglemm with his certificates and medals!

THE SKI RACE OF WILLY, THE RED NOSED MARMOT

However, a hedgehog suddenly leaps out right in front of Willy’s skis. ‘Is he lost?’ ponders Willy. ‘He ought to be hibernating!’ And because everything goes so fast, there is only one thing left to do - knuckle down. A lot of powder and spray is kicked up, but the little hedgehog still has time to get to safety. He swiftly disappears in the forest, into his winter hidey-hole. And Willy has once again learned something – skiing is like climbing, you should never overestimate. Slower piste users always come first. And this is the most important piste rule – only go so fast that you are still able to stop at any time! Without landing on your behind…. 

And the ski race? That is of course clear-cut for Willy, the red nosed marmot. He is a winner in child’s eyes. And during the evening meal in Hotel Neuhaus they have a particularly exciting story to tell. Parents’ eyes will be agog …
