A Guide For Skiers In Austria

By:


Austria hosts some of the finest ski resorts, including world famous courses and beautifully clean air. This, along with Austrian hospitality, means that Austria houses some of the most popular ski resorts in Europe

Nestled on the River Inn, the resort of Innsbruck is a former Olympic city ringed by soaring mountains all around. It has no less than nine ski areas offering almost 300 kilometres of piste offering some exhilarating runs. Innsbruck is bursting full with bars, restaurants and clubs for when you aren't on the slopes.

Kitzbuhel is an ideal ski resort all year round and houses the famou Hahnekamm race which is a must-see for ski fans. The nightlife here is legendary in this stunning Tyrolean wonderland, and the lift passes here cover many different resorts.

Mayrhofen has no less than 233 kilometres of piste, spread out across the vast expanse of resorts it encompasses, all of which are connected by a free bus service. For the thrill seekers there is the thrilling Back Run which runs roughly twenty two kilomtres, causing the region to merge into the enormous Zillertal 300.

Apres-Ski is highly developed, with a mass of bars, restaurants and clubs to keep you entertained after skiing.

Obertauern is a better choice for families and groups of friends, and enjoys a fantastic location shrouded by the jagged peaks of the Radstadter Mountains. The Green Circuit has numerous open slopes best suited to first-timers and intermediates rather than advanced skiers, though the Pink Circuit is more demanding and challenging than the others. There is plenty to do in the evening, with Salzburg close by, and a buzzing apres-ski vibe.

Soll is full of charming traditional guest houses and inns for any budget, which has been attracting English skiers for years.

The greatly improved lift system allows wide ranging access to the more than 250 kilometres of piste on offer here. While there is plenty for the experienced skier to do, the resort is caters more for novices and intermediates, boasting an excellent range of nursery slopes. The aprs-ski is lively and congenial, and not so hard on the wallet.
