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 />

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 />

23rd – 30th Dec. <strong>2012</strong> / 30th Dec. <strong>2012</strong> – 6th Jan. 2013<br />

Prices see page 6<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 />
