What the Campus is.

In 2026, the Freeheeler Campus is once again the opportunity to share ideas, learn from one another and grow together in our favourite sport. At the heart of it is the question of how we can teach telemark technique even more effectively — and how we can keep improving our own skills on skis.

The Campus grew from John Eames' idea of organising a joint workshop for the Freeheeler Guides ahead of the FEO. From that first meeting it has evolved over the years into the Freeheeler Campus — with participants from across Europe and the USA, on- and off-snow sessions, and continuing professional development in ski instruction.

We ski both on and off-piste, across varied terrain and in all snow conditions — around 70% of the Campus takes place on the slopes, the rest consists of workshops, presentations and professional exchange. The Freeheeler European Opening runs in parallel — and you can combine both formats.

Share & Compare for instructors is paused in 2026 and returns in 2027 — interested? campus@freeheeler.eu

Good to Know

Getting there & logistics.

By Air

Innsbruck (INN) is closest at 95 km. In late November easyJet flies in from Gatwick, Luton and Manchester; Transavia from Amsterdam (Thu & Sun).

Munich (MUC), 216 km, is the reliable year-round hub — the better choice from Scandinavia and Belgium, which have no direct November flights to Innsbruck.

Airport Transfer

Four Seasons Travel runs shared and private transfers from Innsbruck, Munich, Salzburg and Zurich into the valley.

tirol-taxi.at · +43 512 584157

Lufthansa Express Bus connects Munich Airport with Innsbruck four times daily. We are also arranging a discounted Four Seasons shuttle from Munich Airport straight to Lanersbach — booking details to follow.

By Train

Rail to Jenbach, then the Zillertalbahn to Mayrhofen (50 min, every 30 min), then bus 4104 into the Tux Valley.

Around 2 hours from Innsbruck, roughly 4 from Munich.

By Car

A12 motorway to the Zillertal exit, then 50 km up the valley. An Austrian motorway vignette is required; the valley roads themselves are toll-free.

Winter tyres are mandatory in wintry conditions from 1 November.

Accommodation

Partner hotel: Hotel Pinzger, Lanersbach — special rates for stays of 4+ nights: double room 80 €, single 110 € p.p./night incl. breakfast (+ 2.60 € local tax/day). A few metres from the Kleine Tenne (our group dinners) and the Tux-Center; the ski bus to the glacier stops right outside.

Local Buses

Ask your host for the Tux-Finkenberg Ticket — it makes bus line 4104 between Mayrhofen and Hintertux free, including your arrival and departure day.

During Campus & FEO week the year-round line 4104 is your bus — the high-frequency Tuxer Sportbus only starts in mid-December (confirmed by the Zillertal glacier lift company).

Parking

Free parking at the glacier valley station, outdoors and in the garage, 08:00–17:00. Day use only, no camping.

Eight e-charging points on site.
