Strengthened and feeling daring after the welcome glass of champagne in the Ice Lounge, some visitors attempted to climb the Ice Tower – equipped with professional harnesses and naturally under expert instruction and supervision. Those who were not quite so far could get tips on how to jazz up their snowboard and freeski performance with freestyle guides in the neighbouring Snow Park, practice their freeskiing or go on a guided Freeride Tour into the wilderness.

However, the sparkling sunshine and the comfortable loungers were more than enough reasons for many to stay on the sun deck, chill out with the finest DJ sounds and simply enjoy the relaxed atmosphere of the ICE CAMP.

While day visitors had to leave the Kitzsteinhorn as evening approached, for the overnight guests, the program had just begun. After an archery session the Volvo XC ICE CAMP visitors gathered together at a round dining table to eat a “Tartar-hat” (a raclette-like meal where meat is grilled on a brazier). Anyone who wanted to stretch their legs after such a hearty meal could go for a walk under the stars to gaze down at the valley and Lake Zeller from the viewing platform.

Serious partying and dancing followed in the Ice Bar and the new whirlpool with a view of the Kitzsteinhorn was broken in. Cold feet could be thawed in the hot water or the gentler warmth of the sauna before the guests snuggled under the reindeer furs to let themselves unwind and the day’s impressions sink in slowly.

The next morning bright blue skies lured the visitors out of their thermal sleeping bags to the newly prepared and still empty slopes. Another day at the Volvo XC ICE CAMP presented by Nokia could begin.

The Volvo XC ICE CAMP presented by Nokia is open to all visitors until Easter 2009. Countless Event Highlights and a daily program once again ensure that every day is full of excitement and new impressions.
