Where to Ski And Snowboard -

Busk for a free lift pass

3rd March 2010, by Wendy King

You probably don't require the costume for this one ...

Here’s a novel idea from the small Austrian ski area, Wildschonau – it might appeal to those visitors who must travel with a guitar everywhere they go …

The resort of Auffach is holding a Musician’s Day on 13 March, with live music at most huts and restaurants on its Schatzberg slopes. But to add to the fun, visitors are being invited to ski for free on that day – if they are prepared to busk for the privilege. All you have to do is go to the ticket office and play a tune for them. In return for your musical serenade, you get a lift pass!

The Wildschonau region includes the small ski areas of Auffbach, Niederau and Oberau. While only small, they provide novices and intermediates with quiet slopes above traditional Austrian Tirol villages.
