We are delighted to invite you and your families to a special Harvard Club of Austria event at the Wexl Arena & Wexl Trails in St. Corona am Wechsel. This unique alpine destination combines outdoor adventure, family-friendly fun, and inspiring perspectives on the future of tourism and mountain resorts. The event is made possible by our fellow Harvard Kennedy School 2007 alumnus Markus Redl.
We heartfully welcome all families – so bring along your partner, kids, and friends. And if you don’t have kids, no worries at all: this event is for everyone, and we encourage you to bring along whoever you would like to share a fun and active autumn day with. It is a unique opportunity to spend time together outside Vienna, in the midst of nature.
