Take the challenge this Spring in beautiful Saalbach-Hinterglemm, in the heart of the Austrian Alps. One days skiing to visit as many of the 46 mountain huts as possible, spread over 200kms of pistes. And at the same time, help Great Ormond Street Hospitals sick children get better. What better way to help the marvellous work carried out at Great Ormond Street than to cruise the acres of fresh Austrian snow, competing against rival teams to become King of the Mountain Restaurants. This is the rst year of this unique event and is strictly limited to ten teams of four - so please reserve your places early. The event runs for four days - but you are welcome to venture out early and make a full week of it if you like... But hurry and fill in the attached booking form as there is only space for ten teams so please book ASAP to guarantee a team place. Deadline for booking is 15th February 2006. The Austrian National Tourist Office is proud to be supporting such a worthwhile cause. Oskar Hinteregger, Director of the Austrian National Tourist Office in London, comments, This is the first time GOSH has been involved in a winter event and we are very pleased that Austria is the chosen destination. Saalbach Hinterglemm is an excellent choice and we hope this will become a recognised yearly event, which will generate excitement amongst the ski industry.
