classes are always bilingual. Most weeks English speaking students<br />
attend classes.<br />

international flavour. During these weeks there will also be the<br />
opportunity to finish your carving with wax, stain or watercolours at<br />
the end of your course.<br />

Austrian Woodcarving Weeks <strong>2012</strong><br />
Tour to Southern Tyrol – Italy<br />
6th - 7th October<br />
Carve and relax during winter time,<br />
Christmas and New Year<br />
2011/<strong>2012</strong> and <strong>2012</strong>/2013<br />
We leave on Saturday morning<br />
heading south, crossing the<br />
Brenner Pass into Italy. After World<br />
War I Tyrol was divided with one<br />
part given to Italy and the other<br />
part retained by Austria. So<br />
actually South Tyrol is more<br />
Tyrolean than Italian when you<br />
look at the culture and the way of<br />
life. On the other hand it has for<br />
almost hundred years been<br />
influenced by Italy, this makes it a<br />
very interesting area. Here you will<br />
find extremely impressive scenery,<br />
the Dolomites are just fantastic,<br />
but also a lot of culture and flair<br />
from Southern Europe. This<br />
together with very good food and<br />
wine makes it an outstanding trip<br />
especially in the fall when the<br />
colours of the trees are changing.<br />
Our main stop will be in Gröden –<br />
Val Gardena, simply the carving<br />
center of South Tyrol and perhaps<br />
the world cradle of carving. Here<br />
we will be able to visit many<br />
carving shops and the famous<br />
“Unika Gallery” as well as the The<br />
Gherdeina Museum with many<br />
interesting woodcarvings from the<br />
past.<br />
We will stay in the Val Gardena<br />
area and also visit some<br />
interesting places in the surrounding, like the town Sterzing or the Abbey<br />
Neustift.<br />
If we get a large enough group, we will try to organize a visit to the Stubai<br />
carving tools factory on our way – if this works we might have to move<br />
the trip one day forwards or backwards.<br />
Price per Person<br />
in Double room: Euro 230,- / USD 310,- / GBP 195,-<br />
in Single room: Euro 250,- / USD 337,- / GBP 212,-<br />
Included: 1 overnight with breakfast and dinner, travelling by bus with a<br />
courier, visit to the above mentioned places.<br />
At least 10 participants necessary.<br />
Do you want to get away from the busy period around Christmas and<br />
New Year – or just prefer to spend it together with other carvers? Why not<br />
come to Elbigenalp, join a course and spend a peaceful and relaxing<br />
holiday in a friendly atmosphere where of course non-carvers are very<br />
welcome. During those winter weeks<br />
we have a longer lunch break and<br />
work later in the evening, so you can<br />
enjoy the beautiful scenery at the<br />
sunniest time of the day for walks, horse<br />
drawn sleigh rides or go skiing in the<br />
beautiful winter Alpine countryside.<br />
Dates Christmas and New Year:<br />
25th Dec. 2011 – 1st Jan. <strong>2012</strong><br />

Special offer for retired folk in winter<br />
Forget those winter blues! Why not come and join us during the winter<br />
time and spend some time carving, relaxing and walking in the<br />
beautiful Lech Valley. You can book one week carving with a tutor and<br />
another one or two weeks where you can carve on your own. Every day<br />
one of our teachers will visit the<br />
group and give you advice on<br />
any problems you might have. Of<br />
course you don't have to carve all<br />
the time, so you can get out into<br />
the bracing alpine air for walks.<br />
Don't forget, while you are away,<br />
you will be saving on those<br />
expensive heating and lighting<br />
bills.<br />
