Skiing in Austria is all about postcard-worthy mountain villages, fun après-ski and traditional family-run hotels. The scenery is just stunning, with low (and high) rolling hills, plenty of tree-lined runs and a very modern lift system.
If you're looking for a classic ski holiday, Austria is definitely for you. Many ski areas are vast thanks to interlinked resorts such as the 305km of glorious St Anton Am Arlberg.
Ski and snowboard tuition in Austria is excellent too. All schools are English-speaking catering perfectly for beginners right up to experts. You'll be able to find specialist courses such as off-piste or freestyle, ideal if you're looking to push your skills to the next level.
Off the slopes, you should definitely take advantage of the delicious mountain cooking and the celebrated 'Konditorei' cakes. And be sure to check out the world-renowned Austrian après-ski which follows in the lively and traditional Tirolean fashion.
Pretty much everything – not only is it a great choice for all levels of skier and snowboarder thanks to large resort sizes and styles, but it also offers great value too.
If you're looking for lively nightlife, St Anton is a must for a true taste of Austrian après!
Austrian cuisine is ideal for a ski or snowboard holiday. There's plenty of carbs for energy, veggies for the goodness and delicious cakes for the soul!
Specialities include Käsespätzle, a soft egg noodle and cheese, Tiroler Gröstl, a bacon, onion and potato fry-up served with a fried egg and Germknödel which is a fluffy dumpling, filled with spicy plum jam, perfect with a hot chocolate or cheeky schnapps in the afternoon.
