Clothes

Comfort and warmth are essential for a great day on the slopes, so make sure you check the weather in Obertauern so you can pack accordingly. We advise bringing backups in case anything gets wet (or misplaced during all the fun that is après-ski - it happens). Plus, don't forget to pack some clothes to relax in.

Après-ski

Not to boast but The Ski Week hosts the best après-ski parties in the world - so you’re going to want to dress for success. Most of these events will involve skiing off the mountain straight into the party, so if you want to pack an easy change of clothes into your day bag, we recommend the following:

Activities to pack for

Discover more about your activities and party themes here.

  • Yoga: bring something stretchy and cosy for morning yoga.
  • Mountain Banquet: pack your finest faux fur for lunch in the mountains at a 50m table, surrounded by 270 other TSW revellers. Think Alpine chic meets Game of Thrones meets eccentric bohemian style. Floor-length fur cloaks, chunky knitted sweaters, Bavarian-style headpieces and creative outfitting are welcome for our open-air Mountain Banquet. Don’t think animal onesies or novelty gimmicks. See here for some style inspiration!
  • Flag: fly your national flag with pride at the Parade of Nations.
  • Oktoberfest: no need to bring your own lederhosen and dirndl - unless you already own one! You can rent yours for our epic party here.
  • 80s après-ski: bring that neon leotard and jazzy leg warmers (and don’t forget your hair spray) as we are going all out for the most epic decade of style.
