Pension Maximilian

Born in Finland, where I grew up in a remote town surrounded by wilderness. I learned the love of nature and outdoors at a very young age, as well as basic skiing skills in a small ski resort nearby. I always had a dream of travelling and exploring the world, and at the age of 18 I left Finland in order to pursue that dream. The first couple of years were spent in South-East Asia and Australia, working wherever possible while traveling and experiencing different cultures. When it was time to return to Europe, I ended up in Ireland in 1999, and ever since then Ireland has been my home away from home, although the years have taken me to many other exotic countries. I ended up working in hospitality after completing a year-long wilderness guiding course in South-Africa, which gave me skills to be able to work in hospitality in Tanzania and Uganda, where I spent 17 years. During those years, together with my then Irish partner and our children, we would fly to Finland once a year for a ski holiday and that is how I learned to love snowboarding. So currently I feel like I could not be in a better place at a better time - here in a small, scenic Austrian village with an access to the mountains and the ski resort right by my door step!

My name is Lynsey and I have huge passion for both winter and summer sports, having worked for Topflight for over 10 years in Austria, France, Andorra and Italy. As an avid skier and snowboarder, you'll find me making the most of slopes during the winter months and in the summer I swap my skis for sandals to enjoy all that Lake Garda has to offer. I couldn’t possibly choose which season I prefer, I’ve skied since I was 5 years old and I can never get enough but there’s also something really magical about the spending the summer on Lake Garda.

Hi, my name is Sue and I am originally from Yorkshire. Austria is now my home and I have had the great privilege of living in the mountains for the last 16 years. I have worked for Topflight in most of their resorts and this winter I will be working as Admin support for our fantastic Austrian team and will be on duty on Saturdays at Salzburg airport. During the summer I am the Austria Resort Manager for all Topflight tours and resorts and will be based in St Johann. I wish you all a fantastic holiday and look forward to welcoming you.
