Austria Ski Resorts

We Brits absolutely love our skiing in Austria and it is no surprise that it is the second most popular destination for us in Europe after France. An Austrian ski holiday has a charm all of its own with resorts that are as stunning for their scenery and unspoilt charm as they are for their superb skiing.

Ski holidays in Austria are about established resorts, with the likes of Kitzbuhel and St Anton providing skiers and snowboarders with everything they need from a winter sports holiday.

There are five resorts of note in the world of Austrian winter sports:

• Kitzbuhel
• St Anton
• Mayrhofen
• Soll
• Zell Am See

Where to stay

Accommodation options for Austria ski holidays are some of the best available at resorts across the world. St Anton, Soll, Kitzbuhel and Zell Am See all offer the standard hotels and pensions, but perhaps the most unique offering goes to the Mayrhofen resort, where guests can spend a night in an igloo.

Après ski

Once you've finished your fun on the slopes for the day, get ready for a busy and buzzing après-ski scene. Kitzbuhel arguably leads the way, with the town considered by some to be Austria's winter party central.

However, other resorts - such as Zell Am See - offer a more varied nightlife with quieter places to enjoy your post-slope time.

Skiing and Boarding

All ski resorts in Austria offer a good range of runs for both skiers and snowboarders. With Austria being one of the more developed of the ski regions of the world, all types of snow sport lovers are at home in any of the resorts. Zell Am See and Soll are probably better for beginners, while Mayrhofen is likely to be the snowboarders' pick.

Ski Instruction

Zell Am See also offers a decent instruction programme, combining its more beginner-friendly slopes with expert tuition.
