Dear Ski O-friends,
We got a message from different sides that our bulletin doesn’t follow the latest IOF guidelines. We are sorry for that. So we adjusted it and re-calculated everything and now this bulletin 3a follows the newest IOF-rules and splits up the costs of accommodation with food, transport and fees.

Our calculated split-up prices include accommodation and food for Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday.

We are planning to give out warm lunch of high quality, as well as one dinner at the opening and a banquet at the closing ceremony. We could not separate food given out at individual accommodation from the accommodation itself. We would lose the really big price reduction of the hotels. But if you wish to organize your own accommodation and food in the near of Eugendorf or Salzburg according to IOF rules feel free to do so. Please consider that, if you use Organizer’s transport, this may have effects on traveling costs if the distance between CC and your individual accommodation is too big.

Best greetings from Salzburg
Christian Breitschädel, OK-Chef

The Competition Centre is located east of the city of Salzburg in the village of Eugendorf and will be officially open from Sunday 11th February 12:00 until Saturday 17th February at 11:00.

Each team leader collecting the material, has to sign a form, and to hand in the passport as caution for possible damages, keys and SI-Card rent (you will get a copy of it, and a letter confirming that it is in our possession).
For opening hours of the main Competition Centre as well as the opening hours of the local Competition Office in the finish area of the events please see following programme.

Still we provide competitors and team officials with six different packages due to JWOC or EYOC (2 and 3 days) and own or organized transport. Of course it is also possible for JWOC teams too book an EYOC-related package.

There will be 4 types of accommodation available: A, B, C and D category. All hotels are not further than 10 kms from Competition Centre in Eugendorf. Accommodation D is in the city of Salzburg.
In all hotels we got special rates due to booking of 6 nights. If you plan to stay less than 6 nights in your individually chosen category, prices will be a little bit higher. It is only possible to book 3 or 6 days in a row. For further information please see additional tables below.

Accommodation Category A:
The following 2 hotels are in the village of Eugendorf: We plan to have tracks for ski testing right next to these hotels. All hotels are equipped with facilities for ski preparation and safe storage of racing materials.

Gasthof Holznerwirt****

The following 3 hotels are situated within 5 km of Eugendorf:

Accommodation Category C:

Accommodation Category D:
Category D is the Youth Hostel in the city of Salzburg. Due to the location of the hostel the traveling time to the CC is long and traffic jams during working hours can occur daily. Compared to the other categories the Youth Hostel offers no specific infrastructure for preparation and storage of skis.

The 4 stars hotel guest rooms are modern comfort rooms equipped with a shower/ bath, WC, cable- TV, telephone, mini- bar and partially with a safe and internet access.
In the 3 stars hotels rooms have en suite bathroom / toilet / SAT-TV / telephone and balcony.
At the reservation for the accommodation we follow the system: “First come, first serve.”

Following packages can be chosen:

Depending on the package these prices include:

If EYOC competitors need further services (e.g. model on Monday, start at Relay) it is possible to have an individual calculation in addition to above mentioned packages or JWOC package is chosen.

According to IOF rules costs for the different segments have to be split up. We tried to make it as transparent as possible also regarding the different needs of JWOC and EYOC as well as competitors and team officials. In sum, the split-up costs contains the same services as the packages above.

To follow the over-all service coverage of the different segments reference numbers (marked in blue within the different tables) and a matrix where all referenced numbers come together in combination with days and segments (see 1.8.5) are used. This makes it possible for you to find out which segment covers which services.
