There are loads of great places to ski in Europe, as we have already mentioned France and Switzerland. And the pretty country of Austria is one of them. If you haven’t taken to the slopes in Austria before, read these reasons why you should head there for your next ski holiday.
1. Guaranteed snow ❄️
Good snow can be the making of a ski holiday, and in the world of peaks and pistes, Austria’s best resorts have a bit of everything: 3000m+ summits, glacial ski areas, north-facing valleys and stonkingly good snowmaking. And if everything goes wrong, Austria’s resorts also feature top-notch snow-making facilities, ensuring perfectly groomed pistes no matter the weather.
2. Great Value for Money 💰
Granted, convenience comes at a price, so if you choose a superior 4- or 5-star hotel with childcare directly on the slopes, you might pay big bucks. But there are plenty of smaller ski resorts and family hotels that are but a few minutes’ walk or shuttle away from the nearest ski lifts.
3. Unrivalled Après-Ski 🍻
From rocking beats into the night in the valley to friendly gatherings outside a mountain hut, Austria really does have an enviable and unrivalled après-ski culture. In Austria, the après-ski fun starts right by the pistes, which are often lined with cosy huts and bars.
4. Safety Is a Priority 🎿
The high quality of its ski lifts, meticulously groomed pistes together with the well-trained ski patrol and emergency services means that skiing in Austria is safer than in many other European countries. Unlike other places, it is obligatory for children under the age of 15 to wear helmets when skiing.
5. Charming ski resorts 🎇
Austrian ski resorts have everything your heart desires, from the ski shops with trained and helpful staff, to the souvenir shop where you can stock up on Austrian trinkets and delicatessen, not to mention the countless cafés and patisseries. There is nothing garish here, neither in the quaint village of Alpbach, nor in the cobble-stoned streets of larger Kitzbühel.
