Another favourite with the British Market is Austria, a firm favourite since the early sixties. Austria offers beautiful scenery, stunning mountains just like something out of the movie “Sound of Music”. Friendly and welcoming locals, who will all make an effort to speak English and offer an amazing level of service.
Here you will find picturesque villages, chocolate box chalets and stunning apartment blocks in keeping with the surrounding mountains. Unlike France you will find no purpose built resorts and concrete buildings housing tons of apartment blocks.
Outstanding snow conditions, considering quite a few resorts are low, you will find up to date snow cannons and plenty of them to give the pistes a good snow coverage from Dec through to April. Austria boasts the biggest and best glacier skiing in Europe, some resorts to look out for if you wish to ski on glaciers are Dachstein, Hintertux, Pitztal and Stubai.
So apart from the amazing skiing, what else attracts the holidaymaker to Austria, the Apres-ski . Many skiers and snowboarders choose Austria for its party lifestyle after a day’s skiing is over. Actually the après ski in Austria starts even before the skiing is over, with many enjoying a drink up the mountain before descending down to the resorts to dance and party till the early morning hours.
Austria offers great value for money, compared to some of its neighbours. This makes this a favourite with holidaymakers especially with the current market.
As for accommodation you will find all types to suite all types of skiers, from budget hotels to luxury spa retreats. Like France and Switzerland the chalet holiday experience is very big in Austria, and you will find a great selection of tour operators and private companies providing good deals on catered ski chalets and self catered chalets.
