SKI WITH PURE SKIING THE SKI-HOLIDAY EXPERTS
ALL HOLIDAY, NO HASSLE WE AT PURE SKIING WANT YOU TO GET THE MOST OUT OF YOUR SKI HOLIDAY, WITHOUT HAVING TO WORRY ABOUT A THING. THAT’S WHY WE TAKE CARE OF YOUR SKI TRIP FROM START TO FINISH. Under the former name of Ski Leading Tours, our dedicated team put in time and effort to ensure we provided ski enthusiasts, families and corporate groups with affordable, world-class ski holiday packages. This is why, over 18 years, we’ve managed to build the excellent reputation in the local and international tourism industry that we’re still – now as Pure Skiing – so proud of today.
HOME BASE
Headed by Hermann Erler, we have a permanent office set up in the heart of the action – St Johann, Austria. Having this office abroad gives us direct access and insight into the area, allowing us to keep our finger on the pulse and giving us the ability to secure the best value for money packages for our South African travellers.
YOU’RE IN SAFE HANDS
Rest assured knowing that when you book your holiday through us, you’re guaranteed a risk- and hassle-free holiday from start to finish. We know that everyone is different, and so are their holiday needs. Whether you’re an avid skier looking for flights, a room and a ski pass, a family looking for a holiday filled with fun both on and off the slopes, or a corporate group looking for a unique team-building trip abroad, we will customise your package to suit your needs.
THE LITE SIDE
Our Pure Skiing Lite packages include only the basics and are aimed at the more experienced skier. Available from our more advanced ski resorts to skiers who have done it all before and know what they are doing. These packages are not designed to cut costs but to offer our existing clients the essential components of a ski package at resorts where we don’t have resort guides to host the tour or offer the entertainment programme. These packages can also be sold to our ‘hosted and entertained’ resorts on request.

The anticipation of a reward inspires incentive program participants to change their behavior to receive the reward. A travel reward is unique from other types of rewards because it is experiential. The anticipation of the experience drives behavior in a way that other rewards can’t. A cash reward is often absorbed into the participant’s day-to-day budget and is then forgotten about. However, a travel incentive reward contributes to behavior change because of its appeal. What could drive your team to succeed more than the knowledge that, at the end of a year’s hard work and commitment, there lies a “money can’t buy” ski trip? Accommodation: We work with the best hotels and chalets in the Alps. From the smallest boutique hotels and luxury chalets, to the grand, traditional 5 stars. Skiing: This bit may go without saying, but choosing the best mountains for your delegates, and the best guides and instructors doesn’t. This is where we come in. Activities and Entertainment: There is nothing we cannot organize for you. Skidoos, helicopters, private hidden mountain lodges, snow golf, this could go on and on, but there’s only so much room on this page.
“We took 60 of our Dealers and Franchisees on an Incentive trip to Livigno, Italy for 9 days on the 21 March 2010. This trip was organised by Pure Skiing.
“As part of our incentives for the 2010 year we took 28 people of our Company on a skiing trip to Austria.
Their organisation and group planning were both exceptional. They made sure that everything went to plan. They had a team of experts available to make sure all of our guests had a truly once in a lifetime experience.
We booked the trip through Pure Skiing and were treated very professionally from beginning to end. In Austria, we were joined by two of their young employees. These two guys fitted in perfectly with our group and nothing was too much trouble for them. They paid attention to everyone in the group and went out of their way to make us feel welcome and the trip enjoyable and special.
This is the second trip we have booked with Pure Skiing, I would recommend them to any company wit the greatest of confidence.”
We will definitely make use of Pure Skiing again (in fact, we are already planning our next trip) and can definitely recumbent them!”

USEFUL INFO
PURE SKI
MAGIC 1995-2015
SKI LIFT PASSES, SKI HIRE AND SKI SCHOOL
It is a good idea to book these prior to departure. When you make your package booking, please let us know exactly which extras you’d like to buy. Ski lift passes and ski equipment hire are usually standard inclusions unless stated otherwise. Ski lift passes: You can buy passes for the entire duration of your holiday, or you can buy flexi-passes, which allow you to ski for certain days of your holiday. Ski hire: This includes your skis, boards, boots and poles. Ski clothing is not included, so please make sure you come prepared. Ski school: Ski school can be booked for any number of days. We recommend booking consecutive days, with beginners booking a minimum of 5 or 6 days. Generally, ski school is about 4 hours per day in Austria, 2 hours per day in Italy and your choice of 2 or 4 hours a day in France.
FUN FOR THE NON-SKIERS
Besides the entertainment and activities included in your package, our resort representatives can arrange a number of other activities to keep non-skiers busy. These include city excursions, ice-skating, paragliding or simply access to indoor heated swimming pools. Each resort has plenty to keep you entertained.
MONEY ADVICE
Most shops and restaurants do not accept credit cards, however, Visa and Master Card are your best bet. Our resort staff also don’t accept credit card payments. We therefore advise that you enable the facility on your card that allows you to withdraw cash from an ATM.
TRAVEL INSURANCE
Pure Skiing includes standard leisure travel insurance in all our packages. The insurance is only valid for the duration of your ski holiday, so if you’re planning on extending your trip or upgrading your cover, let us know and we will make sure you’re covered for your extra time at an additional cost.
COVER & BENEFITS
Medical and related expenses: R25 000 000.00 Journey cancellation: R30 000.00 Luggage: R20 000.00 Pure Skiing acts only as agents. For any insurance-related information or advice please consult Zurich on 086 0222 446 or visit www.zurich.co.za.
AIRPORT TRANSFERS
Most ski resorts run on a weekly basis from Saturday to Saturday, with the option of a one- or two-week stay. Transfers into Austria/Italy are therefore arranged on Saturdays from Munich/Zurich Airport. Private transfers can be arranged for you if you’re planning on arriving on a day other than a Saturday. Alternatively you can make your own way to the resorts. Please note! If you’re going to use our group bus transfer please be aware that the bus leaves Munich/Malpensa Airport at 10h00. So you’ll need to make sure you arrive there before 10h00 and are back for the return flight that departs after 17h00 to make sure you don’t miss them. Transfers to Livigno from Milan, or other resorts in France from Geneva/Lyon can be arranged, but these vary in price and times. Please ask one of our Reservations staff to assist you with booking your transfers.
FUN FOR THE KIDS
Children from 5 years of age can attend ski school with English-speaking instructors at every resort. If your children don’t want to ski, or are too young, there are kindergartens available. You can also hire a babysitter for about 15 Euros per hour.
RESORT PREVIEWS
If you want to check out the resorts before you make your decision, presentations can be arranged at your office or home at your request.
