Marco Polo Club Alpina

The Resort & Its Setting

Marco Polo Club Alpina sits directly in Austria's Alpine region, on Kreidenbachweg. As an independent property with RCI affiliation, it's built around timeshare ownership — owners hold a week or points that can be used personally or exchanged through RCI's network. The resort isn't part of a larger international hotel brand; it operates as its own entity, which is typical of many Alpine timeshare properties and generally means decisions on maintenance, fees and management sit with the resort itself or its owners' association rather than a head office abroad.

The Area & Things to Do

The Alps are on the doorstep here, so the appeal is straightforward: skiing and snowboarding in winter, hiking and mountain biking the rest of the year. Several established ski areas operate within about 15km, suiting a range of abilities, and traditional Alpine villages sit roughly 5km away — useful for anyone wanting a proper Austrian meal, a chance to take in the local architecture, or just a break from the slopes. This is a genuine four-season destination, not just a winter one: spring and autumn bring quieter trails and milder weather, while summer opens up the high routes for walkers and climbers.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a week at Marco Polo Club Alpina and are thinking about moving it on, BidMyTimeshare.com works as a straightforward owner-to-owner marketplace: you list your week, set your own asking price, and interested buyers contact you directly through the platform. There's no commission on the sale — sellers pay a single, one-time listing fee to get their week in front of buyers, and that's it.

Because Marco Polo Club Alpina is an independent resort, resale transfers typically go through the resort's own owners' association or management company rather than a branded resale desk. Before agreeing a price with a buyer, ask the resort directly for two current figures. The first is the transfer fee — what it costs to re-register the week or points in the new owner's name. The second is the annual maintenance fee. Both vary by resort, so neither can be quoted without confirmation. A resale buyer typically takes on the week itself and the ongoing annual fee obligation, but not any loyalty perks or bonus points tied to the original purchase — always confirm exactly what transfers with the seller or the resort before closing.

For renters, the draw is simple: access to an Alpine base without the long-term commitment of ownership. Renters typically want clarity on which week or season is on offer, how close the resort sits to lifts or trailheads, and whether the owner can confirm the booking is genuinely reserved in their name through RCI or the resort directly.

Practical Notes for Owners and Buyers

If you're an RCI member, confirm your exchange membership status before relying on it to book or use this property. Exchange availability depends on RCI's rules and inventory, not on the resale transaction itself. Winter weeks, especially over peak ski season, tend to attract more buyer interest given the demand for lift-accessible accommodation, so sellers listing a winter week should expect more enquiries than those listing shoulder-season dates. Shoulder season — spring and autumn — is worth highlighting to renters and buyers alike, since it combines lower costs with still-favourable mountain weather.

Anyone travelling to the resort should factor in Austria's rail and coach network, which connects major cities to Alpine towns efficiently, reducing the need for a hire car in many cases.
