Please note these are only price indications and can vary according to 

the room category or the requests concerning the catering. The conditions 

and possibilities of catering are different as well. For this reason 

we kindly request all teams to make their booking directly with the 

hotel, and clarify the prices, the requests concerning the catering and 

the conditions for cancellations, in order to avoid misunderstandings 

at the moment of the settlement of the bill. 

Accommodation costs for top 25 

According to the IBU Competition Rule 15.1.3 the OC Antholz takes on 

board and lodging expenses for the 25 best male and 25 best female 

athletes (max. 7 days). The selection is made according to the top 

rankings of the World Cup Total Scores at the end of December 2012. 

The OC Antholz pays 70,00 € per night, which corresponds to the 

price of a hotel of category B. If a team wants to stay in a hotel of 

category A, the price difference has to be paid by the team itself. 

The reimbursement of the free accommodation costs/full board 

will be paid at the Competition Offi ce only if the total amount of 

the team is not higher than 1.000 €. 

Teams reimbursements higher than 1.000 € must be paid by banc 

transfer to the national Federation. The teamleader is asked to 

transmit the banc dates (IBAN, Swift) to the OC.
