Skiing star Aksel Lund Svindal gave
travel tips for Norway
39th Tyrolean Raiffeisen Ski
Championships 2015
In Innsbruck, Raiffeisen Reisen and the travel agen-
cy Reisedienst Alpbachtal presented the attractive
programme for the eighth Tyrolean Raiffeisen ac-
tivity trip to Norway. And who could be more suita-
ble for arousing peoples’ wanderlust than Norwe-
gian star skier Aksel Lund Svindal? This non-native
Tyrolean resident brought his home region closer to
the audience in a charming and very personal way
and had some special tips at the ready for all visitors
to Norway: ‘You should always pack clothing for all
seasons, regardless of what month it is when you’re
travelling in Norway. On no account should you miss
out on our brown cheese – a Norwegian speciality
that I always miss when I’m away from home.’

Wintry weather conditions and an excellently prepared
Langwieseabfahrt circuit at the Fiss ski resort: that was
the stage for the 39th Tyrolean Raiffeisen Skiing Champi-
onships, which as usual were held as a giant slalom. Ron-
ald Kneisl from Raiffeisenbank Sölden picked up his fifth
championship title. As for the ladies, the former world cup
skier Andrea Steiner from Raiffeisenbank Wörgl Kufstein
secured the title.
