Welcome to the VA-NKO website
Belgian Residents Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery

!! NEW : First edition VA-NKO SCIENTIFIC SHORT SKI !!

Dear members,

It is a great honor for the VA-NKO board to announce the first edition of the VA-NKO Scientific Ski Trip, organized both by and for otorhinolaryngology residents!
This will take place from January 26th to 31st of 2024. We'll be getting on the bus on Friday evening and back on Wednesday morning. This means 4 days filled with skiing, après-ski and a scientific programme.
The goal is to organize the scientific programme between ourselves. Thus, we ask all participants to send in a presentation or case at registration (or later). The most interesting ones will be retained, and at the end of the trip some will be awarded beautiful prizes. We won't force anyone to give a presentation, but it would be nice if everyone does so in a low-threshold way. That way we can combine science and fun, while also getting to know each other better!
The scientific part will take place after breakfast and this for a maximum of 2 hours every morning. After that, a whole day of skiing!

The price for this ski congress is 1028 euros per person. But after the discount presented by VA-NKO, only 799 euro !
This includes:
- Bus trip Royal Class
- Half board and 3 overnight stays at hotel Salzburger Hof in Bad Gastein, rooms are divided per 2 people. (Information hotel: Hotel Salzburger Hof 4*s | Culinaire topper| Majestueus Top hotel | Reisbureau Flanders Ski - Wintersport vakanties en shortski reizen )
- 4 days ski pass Ski-Amadé / Gasteinertal
- Access to the wellness area of the hotel
N.B. : ski equipment rental is not included in the price.
