Austria ski holidays

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 500+km Zillertal Arena (home to Mayrhofen) and the 270km Ski Circus (home to Saalbach and Hinterglemm).
