When you go on a Ski Holiday in Austria, get ready for an unforgettable experience. Expect top-tier skiing. With hundreds of kilometers of well-maintained slopes to explore and great resorts, you’re in for a treat!
Beyond skiing and snowboarding, you’ll also be able to partake in other winter activities, like snowshoeing and sledding.
In addition, some tours also include yoga sessions and access to the spa, for those days when you want to relax and take it slow.
Accommodation ranges from traditional alpine chalets to luxurious hotels. Expect hearty Austrian cuisine, featuring schnitzel, dumplings, and rich strudels that’ll keep you fueled for the slopes.
When it comes to destinations, Austria has no shortage of incredible places for your Ski Tour:
In Kitzbühel, you'll find a perfect blend of glamour and grit. Home to the infamous Hahnenkamm downhill race, this medieval town serves up some of the most scenic skiing in the Alps. When you are not on the slopes, set aside some time to explore the cobblestone streets lined with charming stores and traditional taverns.
Arlberg ski region is where serious skiers come to play. This is the birthplace of alpine skiing, and it shows. The terrain, featuring steep chutes, powdery bowls, and endless off-piste possibilities, is ideal for more experienced skiers.
The SkiWelt area is Austria’s largest connected ski area, with 200km of slopes. And the night skiing here is some of the best in the Alps.
Ischgl brings the party to the mountains. During the day you’ll ski at high altitude, while at night you’ll enjoy the legendary après-ski.
Saalbach-Hinterglem, southwest of Salzburg, is ideal for families and those less experienced. There are plenty of slopes for every level and the villages come with a side of Austrian charm and modern amenities.
Zell am See is another ideal destination for families and beginners. The slopes here are gentle and the views of Lake Zell are incredible. And if you're not a skier, you can spend the time enjoying horse-drawn sleigh rides, ice skating, or simply sipping hot chocolate as you admire the views.
Timing is everything when going on a Ski Holiday. The season typically runs from December to April, with January and February bringing the most reliable snow conditions. The early season (December) can offer great deals and quieter slopes. The best time to go is in late February to early March.
