Welcome to Hintertux 2026

This email will help you plan a fun & productive adventure at Tichy Camp. Below we've shared the weekly plan, daily schedule, and the dryland plan with locations and more. Pay special attention to all links; they will provide directions, videos, and photos. Keep this email handy to reference ALL week.

We continue to tailor each week to best suit the needs of all our racers and families. Please take a few minutes to read and familiarize yourself with our plan. Be sure to add info@tichyracing.com to your address book to receive daily/nightly emails and updates in the “traditional, less colorful” format. Weather, conditions, and racer endurance may impact the daily schedule. We will communicate changes in regular nightly email blasts and cover any minor changes. Please reply by email (include the camp session number) with any additional email addresses you would like added to the nightly communications.

Feel free to reach out with any questions at any time before arrival. See you at camp.

Planning, Travel, and Tichy Gear

Full Time Camp (FT) with Tichy Racing includes all meals, local transportation, lodging, dryland, and video review sessions. Full Camp are expected at all team meetings, nightly meetings, camp activities, training, and room checks. All scheduling details will be covered with Full Camp participants daily, repeated, and reinforced.
Day Camp (DC) racers often stay at the same hotel as the group with their families. They tend to join the group for all meals and activities.

Hintertux is located 90 miles south of Munich (MUC airport) and a short drive on the German Autobahn to our private hotel. Forelle Hotel-Garni & Gästehaus is only 10 kilometers from the base of the glacier, offering quick access to snow, training, hikes, culture, and more.
Walk the streets with the cows, rub shoulders with famous World Cup skiers, eat with our in-house chef, and train on the best slopes next to dozens of other serious athletes. You will not be able to forget the Sunny and Dark Side of skiing in Tux with over 60 training lane options.

Hotel:

Our base hotel in Vorderlanersbach suits our team and caters to our needs, with a tuning room equipped with vises, an iron, extensions, lights, and more. The owner (family business) is an executive chef, serving some of the best meals in the valley. Over the last 20 years, we have had to talk him down from 5 courses to just 4 courses, 2+ hours of service, to 1-hour service (to help the kids stay awake). His wife, Eva, handles all our needs, including laundry service and more.

The https://www.forelle.at/en/ is divided into two sections, with a shared dining room serving both racers and staff. Typically, we stay in the traditional part of the hotel, with two racers per room, each in an individual single bed. At the same time, parents usually prefer the hotel's new, 4-star-rated section. Traditional lodging is included in the racer price; upgrade to a new section is possible at a minimal cost increase. Parent lodging is available at a very reasonable nightly rate, including breakfast and dinner, with our camp/team.
Our hotel offers high-speed Wi-Fi, free parking, saunas, a solarium, and a high ropes play center, all included at no additional cost.

Meals:

A full-service European breakfast buffet, featuring a juice bar, yogurt, fresh fruit, and hot drinks, is included in our stay. Dinner service and quality are unmatched. Dinner drinks, such as soda, juices, and alcohol, are billed separately to each racer/family; table water is included and served with dinner. Lunch is arranged daily for racers, and the cost is not included in the camp price. Dining, ordering, grocery shopping, store-bought meals, and food to go are a significant part of our daily routine. This allows each racer/family to adjust to their personal preferences.

Flights:

We have flights from all over the USA. Arrival is before 2:00 PM on Sunday, October 4th, and departure is after 10:45 AM on Sunday, October 18, 2026, to/from Munich International Airport (MUC). I am happy to help coordinate your travel comfort. Could you share your exact itinerary with me if you still need to? I need this so I can help track your flight. We will meet at Starbucks as early as 10:30 AM, just outside of baggage claim at Terminal 2. It is the only Starbucks in the Munich Airport and is easily accessible. It also offers regular free wifi. We will return to the MUC airport on October 18, 2026, directly from the Forelle Hotel by 8:30 AM to get everyone on their return flights (leaving Austria around 6:15 AM)

Group WhatsApp Chat :

I have set up a WhatsApp group chat to help us coordinate and stay in touch. Please join this group at least a few days before your departure from home.
