Welcome! Cross-country skiing in Austria awaits you!
We’re excited to share the pre-departure information with you as you prepare for your trip.
You can use the following links to navigate to sections included below.
Trip Itinerary | Timeline & To-Dos | Pre-Trip Information | What to Expect | Preparing to Travel | Connect
Your daily itinerary includes a detailed look at each day of your trip, including what to expect for skiing, activities, meals, transportation and more.
Here are a few items to complete ahead of your trip:
Submit your pre-trip survey
Review and sign the trip waiver with your digital signature
Book flights (see flight booking tips) and and email us your flight itinerary (if you haven’t already)
Purchase travel insurance (recommended)
As you prepare for your upcoming trip, this section includes information about travel insurance, booking flights and city visit ideas for Munich.
We highly recommend purchasing travel insurance for your trip. Past Lumi guests have used TravelEx and Allianz Travel with positive feedback about their service. See what they offer and get a quote online.
Here are a few of our insider tips for when, where and how to choose flights. The first tip? Plan ahead: it is almost always less expensive to purchase flights earlier rather than later. We also share some of our favorite booking sites and more.
Known for its captivating blend of traditional charm and modern sophistication, Munich is a vibrant and culturally rich city nestled in the heart of Bavaria, Germany. We’ve compiled our recommendations for you in case you have time during your travels to visit.
This section includes an overview of what to expect on your ski vacation with Lumi, including a typical day, information on meals, skis & waxing and skiing safety.
How does a typical day on a Lumi ski vacation look? From starting off your morning with a European breakfast buffet to your choice of our recommended ski trails, and much more.
This is your vacation. We hope that you can enjoy it at your leisure. We are here to support you along the way.
Everything you need to know about skis while traveling on a Lumi custom ski trip, including which skis we recommend bringing with you, how we suggest traveling with them, and a special discount on ski equipment from our partners at Enjoy Winter.
Staying healthy and safe is paramount on your Lumi trip. Here you will find more details about travel requirements as well as how to keep yourself healthy and safe on your trip.
As you make your final travel preparations, this section includes information on packing, minimizing jet lag, helpful tips for staying connected during your trip, and more.
We recommend packing enough clothes for your full trip. Most of your hotels have drying racks in the bathrooms and boot heaters in the ski rooms, making them a good place to dry your ski boots and clothes between days.
Traveling overseas is never easy, especially when you are aiming to be fit and healthy upon arrival. The US Ski Team has published recommendations for athletes to minimize jet lag. We recommend reviewing their suggestions to help minimize the effects of jet lag before and after your trip to Europe.
Communicating and navigating while abroad can be a little complicated. Our tips include information about electronics, wifi, adapters and cell phone service in the places where you will be traveling, as well as applications we recommend downloading to simplify on-trip communication, navigation and more.
As you prepare for your ski vacation in Europe, learn about using cash, credit cards, and ATMs in the places where you will be traveling as well as our recommendations for gratuities at meals and more during your trip.
In addition to alerting Garrott if there is an emergency during your travels, this list includes who to contact in each of the places where you will be traveling, including contact info for pharmacies, hospitals and taxis. This information is specific to your trip.
We are excited to share a special discount for Lumi guests on ski accessories for the winter ahead from our partner EnjoyWinter.com (Ski Post). Lumi guests can receive a 30% discount on most products, including Bliz eyewear, Noname apparel, KinetiXx gloves, Peltonen skis, 4KAAD poles, Swenor rollerskis, and many more ….
