Venue and Travel

The Winter School takes place at Söllerhaus – a small family-run hotel with lecture rooms – situated in the Kleinwalsertal just above Hirschegg, directly in the skiing area Heuberg.

Söllerhaus is reachable by public transport. The next train station is Oberstdorf/Allgäu (Germany) and there is a bus to Hirschegg, which run several times per hour and takes about 30 minutes. Participants will have to organize their own travel from and to the winter school. We will help to coordinate this.

Information about the skiing area can be found at: https://www.kleinwalsertal.com/en/Activities/Winter/Skiing 

Support

The winter school ist supported by the projects Amplify, Humane AI, and HIVE-Lab.
