Bad Gastein - Sportgastein: Never a bad ski vacation
As far as beginner skiing goes in Bad Gastein, it doesn’t get much better or more diverse than Sportgastein. Beginners can go skiing at just under 900 meters and hit the slopes at altitudes as high as 2686 meters, with plenty of green slopes for beginners. Bad Gastein night skiing is always a favourite choice, with snow cannons shooting off fireworks of snow twinkling like stars under stadium lights. There are 65 ski runs in total, and an 8 km run said to be quite fast - 20 of the runs are wide beginner slopes with only six dedicated to expert skiers. Bad Gastein ski holiday is intended to serve the entire family. Bad Gastein has always been good to snowboarders, too. There is freestyle park for those who don’t mind going home with bruises. Go off-piste with guide to hit the Hohe Tauern National Park; there, 90 km of paths await. The Salzburg airport is only 90 km away, with daily shuttles to and from the airport.

Bad Gastein Accommodation: Hotels, chalets, apartments and other lodging can be grabbed up on the cheap in Bad Gastein, largely in the low season. With deals like five days for just over two hundred Euros, it’s no wonder why people eat this place up during the ski season.

Bad Hofgastein – Great Ski Holidays in Austria
Bad Hofgastein is an Austrian ski resort with Austrian amenities — nothing short of panoramas, great restaurants, extraordinary skiing and interconnectivity between ski areas. Bad Hofgastein (Salzburg airport is less than 90 km away) has great skiing access within the whole Gastein ski area; Bad Hofgastein proper has over 175 km of ski runs while the Gastein ski area compromises another 102 separate pistes. Most of the skiing is above the 2000 meter mark, so most of Bad Hofgastein is snow-sure with the all inclusive lift pass giving snowboarding and skiing access to Sportgastein, Graukogel, Dorfgastein and Bad Gastein. There are 300 snow cannons spread up and down the slopes, so almost 100 km of ski runs can be doused in buckets of snow should Mother Nature relent. The biggest vertical drop is 1455 meters with one slope going for 7.8 km. Drag lift (7), chair lift (7), cable car (3) and gondola (2) serve all of Bad Hofgastein when the crowds get big. Cross-country and skate cross-country skiing is all possible; with the former having 35 km and the latter having 10 km. Snowboarding is mostly found in the Funpark Boarders Paradise in Dorfgastein – Grossarl link. The Bad Hofgastein centre is pedestrianized, so après ski rambunctiousness will not get any one injured by oncoming traffic.
Bad Hofgastein Accommodation:
Bad Hofgastein is overrun with luxury hotels. Finding five-star lodging here is not difficult if pre-booked. Many of the best deals are found online, with discounts given to those staying for seven or more days (low season). Additionally, apartments, chalets and "palaces" make staying here affordable for budget and bountiful spenders.

Bad Kleinkirchheim: Ski Holidays Go Alpine
Bad Kleinkirchheim is known as a place to unbend and de-stress, with visitors getting spoiled at every turn (off the slopes too of course).
The whole Bad Kleinkirchheim area is covered in trees, look and feel that leaves the soul rejuvenated. The Nockberge (with national park bearing the same name) and all thermal spas around (Bad means thermal baths) are enough to keep patrons happy apres ski. Bad Kleinkirchheim skiing and snowboarding start at 1100 meters and rise to just over 2000 meters. Moreover, there are just over 100 km of ski runs with 32 total ski slopes.
Though it doesn’t sound like much, the one 4 km slope will keep most guests content. The nearest airport to easily access Bad Kleinkirchheim is 50 km away, making mini ski vacations doable. Renting equipment is a breeze with plenty of places to buy gear too.
Bad Kleinkirchheim Accommodation: The alpine growth of Bad Kleinkirchheim shrouds many of the hotels, apartments, chalets and lodges behind an overgrowth of trees. It’s likely that any rental will have a view of some forested edge. Bad Kleinkirchheim accommodation fills up quickly during the open-air music festival in January, so book early if you want to hear folk tunes while skiing.
For those looking for more fun in winter than skiing, then be sure to take advantage of the large variety of alternative winter sports on offer, ice skating, ice curling or a night time toboggan party. Also, Bad Kleinkirchheim also offers 60 km of winter walking paths, ice Curling at the "Einkehr" Restaurant/ at the "Bach" part of the village, 500 m, ice-rink directly at the tennis hall, horse drawn sleigh rides through the romantic winter countryside and 2 Toboggan runs with 4 km of floodlit toboggan runs on the Kaiserburg (high season Wednesday from 5.00 p.m. to 8.00 p.m. night tobogganing on the floodlit Kaiserburg I) and 4 km on the Falkerthaus toboggan run.

Flachau – Ski Destination Where Legends Are Born
Flachau gets a lot of pres because it is part of one of Austria’s biggest ski areas—that alone is enough to attract a ski-happy crowd. Flachau is part of the Salzburger Sportwelt Amade ski area, with Flachauwinkl, Wagrain and Kleinarl, in turn interlinking Alpendorf and Zauchensee.
Many Europeans generally and Austrians specifically know the area because of Herman Maier (Herminator), the Olympic (and World) Champ. Skiing in Austria, and Flachau itself, is second to none: 41 ski runs covering some 111 km; 2 black runs, 9 red runs, 6 blue runs and 1 green run make blue and red skiers love Flachau; the right ski pass opens up a whopping 1200 km of pistes, one of the largest in Austria.
One slope is 6 km long with a vertical drop of more than 1170 meters. Drag, chair, cable lift and gondola take skiers and boarders to the top of 2000 meters, the maximum altitude.
The snowboarding world has, of course, heard of the Riegler sisters, Manuela and Claudia, who come from Flachau. New or augmented snow makes the fun park and half pipe a real treat, where boarders are welcomed openly. Airport transfers from Salzburg airport (73 km away) is by bus or private car hire. Flachau, like the rest of Austria, turns into an outdoor Mecca in the summertime as well.
Flachau Accommodation: Hotels, alpine chalets, apartments and most other lodging offer an alpine-y feel, even if the accommodation itself is large. That the buildings never overshadow the landscape and nature is given its due respect may have something to do with it. Nearly 15 to 20% discounts can be had in the low season and summer, making a four star accommodation well worth the price.

Heiligenblut – Grossglockner – Where Ski Holidays Are Quaint
Heiligenblut – Grossglockner (a.k.a. Großglockner) is one of those picturesque villages that just seem like a drop out of reality. Time seems to stand still for the beauty of the place. Skiers come to challenge themselves on some demanding ski runs; others come to relax. Though the word “village” brings about mental images of isolation, Heiligenblut – Grossglockner has a lot to do: There is an indoor tennis court and swimming pool, both a necessary part of any ski vacation. Moreover, skiing is higher and faster with the installation of a new gondola in 2008. The rest of the 14 ski lifts serve another 20 individual slopes. Snow is always reliable in Heiligenblut with a minimum and maximum altitude of 1301 and 2902 meters respectfully. The resort lies at 1300 meters, with 2 black runs, 9 red runs and 9 blue runs above that. When the snow gets icy and Mother Nature backpedals on her snow production, 50 snow cannons can cover 40 km of slopes in mere minutes. Skiing or snowboard foray in Austria is never wasted on other skiers’ leftovers. Heiligenblut – Grossglockner is a children's bliss with the “Bobo Kid’s Club” and “Snowland Club”—a place to leave the children while adult skiers hit the pistes.
Heiligenblut – Grossglockner Accommodation: Many of the hotels in Heiligenblut are just a few steps from some of the best slopes. These three to four star lodges also offer out-of-doors snow hiking trails to boot. Apartments are found just a bit farther outside of the Heiligenblut town center.

Hintertuxer Gletscher – Ski Vacations In The Clouds
Hintertuxer Gletscher offers nearly 90 km of skiing during any part of the season, as the altitude is 850 meters on the low end and 3250 meters on the high end. The total lifts—10 drag, 6 chair, and 5 cable cars—take skiers and snowboarders to slopes, fun parks or the famous always-snowy Hintertux Glacier. There are 227 km of slopes at Hintertuxer Gletscher, but the longest run last for over 12 km — that is a lot of vertical feet to lose in just minutes! This 12 km decent is known locally as the “Schwarze Pfanne.” The blue runs go for nearly 60 km, while the red and black runs travel for 134 km and 32 km respectively, so there is a lot of ground to cover if one stays only for a ski weekend. Those interested in more can find Tux and Finkenberg in the Glacier World Zillertal 3000, the highest ski area with slopes and all the toys for snowboarders. To access over 630 km of skiable terrain, skiers must invest in the Zillertaler Superski Pass, which has special pricing ranges for various holidays (and low seasons) during the ski season. Other outdoor thrill-seeker sports include 350 km of hiking, and a cave called Spannagel (Spannangelhöhle) should not be missed. Canyoning, paragliding, biking, climbing and summer skiing with 18 km of slopes (with 9 lifts) is nothing short of astonishing. The resort lies well below the high altitude skiing and snowboard park (with the world’s highest Worldcup half pipe).
Hintertuxer Gletscher Accommodation:
Sport hotels, apartments, lodges, and chalets await those with hefty or empty pocketbook. The three star prices offer some of the best short-notice deals, with luxury hotels offering something for those with little time but lots of cash.

Hochfügen Hochzillertal - A Hoch Wild Ski Holiday
Hochfügen Hochzillertal relies on close connection to the Innsbruck airport which is only 50 km away. Though Hochfügen Hochzillertal looks strangely small on paper - 32 total ski runs for instance, though in reality there is over 155 km in all. The lowest attitude is about as low as possible at 558 meters, but the maximum height of 2501 meters means plenty of long rides, the longest being 8 km from start to finish. The farthest drop any skier will ride here loses 1943 meters. The slopes are open only for over four months, from the beginning of December untill the end of April, so there is a lot of artificial snow, some areas as high as 70%. The drag, chair or cable lift (no gondola here) transport thousands to the top per hour. One highlight of Hochfügen Hochzillertal is the snowboarding park. There is a freestyle park with slides, boxes, jumps, half pipe, fun park with plenty of long pipes and rails with sound system. Those not into either skiing or snowboarding at Hochfügen Hochzillertal will still be in luck. Ice skating, ice-climbing, horse-sledging, snow tubing, tobogganing and other slope saunters make life here always fast and fun.
Hochfügen Hochzillertal Accommodation:
The four villages of Aschau, Ried, Stumm and Kaltenbach provide several options for lodging, from two to four-room apartments to self-catering chalets and four-star hotels. The thirty-plus bars and restaurants (10 bars and 20 restaurants) means eating out away from the hotel is always an accessible option.

Innsbruck Olympia Ski World: A Close-by Ski Holiday
Innsbruck Olympia Ski World is "close-by" because no other ski resort in Austria is as close to the airport, bus or train station as Innsbruck Olympia Ski World. The airport and train station are merely 2 km away. The Innsbruck Glacier Ski Pass gives skiing enthusiasts and snowboarding freaks access to "count ‘em" 9 different ski areas, all close by. Places like Nordpark, Glungezer, Muttereralm, Schlick 2000 and Stubai Glacier are all on the same ticket - even the shuttle service to and fro is free-of-charge! Innsbruck Olympia Ski World also includes snowboarding, with half pipes, wave rides, jumps, boxes, corners, fun park and slides all dedicated to freestyle atmosphere. There are over 100 ski runs, and nearly three times as many (282) km of ski slopes, with the longest being just 10 km long - what a ride. Max. altitude of Innsbruck Olympia is 2256 meters, and draglift, chair lift or Gondola take skiers to the uttermost pinnacle.
Innsbruck Olympia Ski World Accommodation:
From small alpine chalets to large sky-rise hotels, Innsbruck Olympia Ski World is built up to handle thousands of visitors. The best lodge deals are found with longterm stay, from seven nights onwards. Two people can find accommodation together for seven days under 500 euros. During the high skiing season, that’s quite a deal. Other hotels are being built, as there is minor accommodation construction boom taking place in the area that is not likely to taper any time soon.

Ischgl – Add Variety to Austrian Ski Vacations
With such altitude, Ischgl in Austria can almost guarantee 100% snow, so while there are some snow cannons (490 over all), most of them are switched off for the high season. Areas within and around Ischgl, Tyrol and the Paznaun Valley (11 hamlets covering over 10,000 hectares) do not have much of population, though this increases tenfold once skiers and boarders start rolling in. Most skiers find the best of slopes in Ischgl lie to the south of town behind the mountains. There are 66 total runs, equating to 235 km of slopes. The slope breakdown, then, is 38 km of blues, 132 km of reds and 45 km of blacks. The longest slope drops nearly 1500 meters for 11km. The lowest altitude here is often other resort’s highest at 1400 meters. The highest terrain for skiing in Ischgl is at 2872 meters.
Innsbruck is only 100 km away, so ski weekends or longer ski holidays are easily organised. If visitors have six or more days, ski pass links up 230 total km of pistes. There are plenty of lifts to accommodate all visitors to Ischgl, resort often flooded with patrons during the high season. Plenty of ski room is made, however, with the completion of 5 cable cars, 20 chairlifts, 14 draglifts and 3 gondolas (offering the best panoramas). The après ski agendas range from concerts, pubs, sleigh trips, massages, ice-skating to discotheques.
Ischgl Accommodation: During Mountain Concerts it is a little harder to find hotels close by.
However, there are some discounts to be had if lodging is booked in advance. Many of the hotels, chalets and hotels with service (not apartments) have childcare and offer classes for the little ones.

Katschberg – Rennweg – Sunnier and Snowier Austria Ski Holidays
The Lungau ski area houses the Katschberg-Aineck-Rennweg (part of Carinthia) ski area. Though the area has an abundance of snowy slopes to offer both skiers and boarders, the inclusive ski pass gives access to Fanningberg and Brobeck Speiereck, where snow is guaranteed.
The skies are always sunny and slopes are always covered in a fine dusting of powdery snow. If not, Katschberg - Reenweg can cover near all its slopes with machine-made flakes. The slopes around the 2000-meter mark (the highest is 2200 meters) generally get pounded, while the areas toward 1640 meters (the lowest point) do sometimes need snowmaking assistance.
There are 30 ski runs unfurled over 66 km of pistes. The longest slope travels for 6 km, a drop of about 550 vertical meters. The slope breakdown for beginners, intermediate and experts is 6 blues, 18 reds and 6 blacks. Intermediate skiers will have the most slope selection, with intermediate Katschberg skiing offering up nearly four times the kilometers of skiing when compared to the blue and black runs.
The cost of skiing and snowboarding (half pipe, fun park and jumps amok) varies with the low, mid, and high season. Most anytime, however, skiers will pay 150 Euros to 200 Euros as an adult.
Katschberg - Rennweg Accommodation:
Three and four star hotels dot Katschberg, as visitors keep coming more and more every year.
The prices are similar to French resorts, though discounts start occurring later in the ski season. Alpine chalets and apartments make some of the most financial sense, as many are only a doorstep away from the lifts.

A quick glance at the map shows a cobweb of intertwining high blues, reds and blacks. Cable cars (9), chairlifts (28) and draglifts (17) connect the whole Kitzbühel skiing and snowboarding area. The lowest altitude is just over 800 meters with the highest cable car going to 1892 meters. These make it possible to ski all of Hahnenkamm and Pengelstein, Jochberg and Resterhohe—168 km of possible skiing. Kitzbühel caters to groups and families looking for a nice spread of slopes, just 90 km from Innsbruck. There are 75 total ski runs covering 168 km. The 13 km ski run dropping vertically for 1200 meters is the longest run. The remaining of the ski runs are broken up into smaller segments, with reds having the most at 78 km, blues having 67 km and blacks including only 23 km. Cross-country crisscrosses the Kitzbühel area with 120 km of classic runs. If boarders are interested in Kitzbühel snowboarding then it’s best to buy the ski pass that interlinks all the ski areas, especially if riding for six or more days. All the après skiing venues, such as pubs, restaurants, discos mixed with ski huts, ski schools, ice skating, curling and some awesome night skiing grow more extravagant each and every ski season.
Kitzbühel Accommodation:
Alpine chalets and hotels just walking distance from the town center and apartments for big or small families, Kitzbühel is the perfect place for three and four star travelers. Of course, the luxury hotels and accommodation are second to none for those who have a pocketbook to match.

Lech – Zürs Am Arlberg – Ski Holidays With You & Children In Mind
Lech and Zürs have a sustained spell that makes visitors keep falling in love with them. They are in one of the most renowned areas of Austria, once the filming location for Bridget Jones’ The Edge of Reason. A jump from 120 km away in Innsbruck puts skiers in Lech – Zürs Am Arlberg, with connections to St.Anton, St. Christoph, Lech Zurs itself, Stuben and Sonnenkopf—these give a total skiing area of 280 km of skiing. There are in total 122 ski runs in Lech – Zürs, with the total of 280 km divided into 108 km of blues, 139 km of reds and 30 km of blacks. The highest point lies at a decent altitude for the Alps, and if skiers can link certain ski areas with one of the lift systems, then a daytime ski bus can ferry passengers to and fro for free. The longest slope in the whole region is 5 km, but come prepared for some hidden obstacles and knarly turns. Lech – Zürs Am Arlberg is a relief for families with rambunctious children: There is a child slope, child lift, child park, child carpet lift and, fortunately, child care. Because kids grow out of ski equipment so fast, all the boots and poles and skis are rentable. Skiing is made easier with all help with children. Other activities for children and families include ice-skating, tobogganing, horse drawn sleigh rides, animal feeding areas, and museums are full of interesting local history.
Lech – Zürs Am Arlberg Accommodation:
Throughout the whole ski area, the options of places to stay can almost be overwhelming. Given that, it is best to come prepared with set itinerary with hotel, apartment, chalet, lodge, or other cozy accommodation pre-booked. Hotels can and do book up quickly during the high season, so be forewarned if booking just weeks before a ski holiday.

The Matreier Goldried ski resort is in the upper Isel Valley. Matrei is the main town of the region and of the cosy villages of Prägraten a. G. and Huben.

Nassfeld Hermagor: A Vast Ski Vacation Destination
There are many great skiing resorts in Nassfeld Hermagor. However, not all make the top ten cut. Nassfeld Hermagor, however, seems to always make it to the "Top 10 Austrian Resorts" category. One reason that the Nassfeld luck does not run thin is the snow reliability of the place. Even during the global warming crisis gripping many other European resorts, Mother Nature dumps snow on Nassfeld every winter. Not to mention that ski pistes range from beginner, intermediate to world class.
The Millennium Express transports visitors throughout the Alp area, for this is the longest cable car in the Alps - this speaks of the modernity of the whole ski resort. Easily reachable from the Klagenfurt airport just 50 km away, Nassfeld Hermagor encompasses quite the category of ski runs: There are 37 runs, made up of 110 km in length. The longest slope is almost 8 km long and night skiing, a snowboarding park and tons of cross-country runs (91 km) with skate cross-country runs (24 km) make finding a slope for any level possible.
Nassfeld Hermagor Accommodation:
Hotels with spas, apartments with restaurants and lodges close to the slopes make Nassfeld Hermagor seem like paradise on earth. There are plenty of 2-4 star hotels nearby, accommodating families with and without money to spare. If there are large groups, houses can be rented per week, though pricing can vary depending on the locale to the slopes. Nassfeld Hermagor accommodation can book up quickly during the high season, but that is no reason that skiers cannot find a last minute place to stay.

Pitztal Glacier – Rifflesee – Simple To Skilled Slopes For A Ski Vacations
Pitztal Glacier (Rifflesee) is a central location for skiers and boarders interested in getting some powder just minutes from Innsbruck some 57 km away. Ski schools really thrive at Pitztal Glacier (Rifflesee) with the spectrum of perfect altitude range (from 1640 meters to 3440 meters). Though there’s not much connectivity between other ski resorts, Pitztal Glacier (Rifflesee) has enough challenging slopes by itself, with one slope losing nearly 2000 meters (1800 m). The slope breakdown is 14 km of blues, 27 km of reds, and 7 km of blacks. The total number of ski slopes accessible under the only ski pass is 48 km. All three levels, however, may not be adequately rated for each level—a difficult blue is closer to an easy red for instance, so visitors must exercise caution on all the slopes no matter ability. Much of Austria’s skiing last for a long and snowy winter. Pitztal Glacier is by no means different. The ski season opens up in mid September and runs until mid-May (or longer). When Mother Nature refuses to dump the buckets of fresh powder, over 70% of the total ski runs can be covered with homemade flakes. The après ski venues are not as extreme as larger resorts, but the restaurants and pubs are just as succulent. Plus, the serenity brings a certain peace to dinner after a day on the scarp.
Pitztal Glacier Rifflesee Accommodation:
Much of the accommodation in and around Pitztal Glacier has that alpine feel. Three star hotels are the easiest to find, especially at the beginning and end of the ski season. Some hotels are dubbed as “Sport” or “Spa”, which means they offer certain luxuries that other lodges do not.

At the right price and access to 140+ pistes, the ski pass affords entry to Fulpmes, Tulfes, Igls and connection to Stubaier Gletscher, Schlick 2000, Serles and Elfer. Stubaital-Neustift itself includes 18 blue runs, 9 red runs and 9 black runs, 69 km, 45 km and 33 km each respectively. One of the many highlights of Stubaital-Neustift skiing is the 10 km long piste, losing over 2100 metes of elevation; the lift ride up is worth every second of the smooth and fast ride down. Other than downhill, there are 48 km of cross-country skiing and snowboarding that includes a 10 km touring slope, the 100 meter half-pipe dubbed “Wilde Grub’n’” and some nice extensive powder. Stubaital-Neustift opens up at the end of November and closes either mid (or the end of) April.

It’s no problem to find a room in a hotel or a furnished apartment if research and booking are taken care of early on.

Zillertal Arena: Ski Holidays Here, There & Everywhere
Zillertal Arena is a big part of what a ski vacation is about in Austria, just 55 km from Innsbruck. The Zillertal Arena is the giant of the Tyrolean Zillertal valley and Salzburg Pinzgau area. The resort starts at 580 meters and goes up to a neck-cramping altitude of 2500 meters. The valley from this height looks like the inside of a snow monster’s mouth, with jagged mountains, nooks and crannies jutting about. There are 68 total ski runs covering a whopping 163 km. The 1255 vertical descent last a seeming lifetime at nearly 10 km long — enough time to practice all various styles of downhill skiing. Zillertal Arena skiing never exposes grassy clumps or dirt; when Mother Earth refuses us earthlings virgin powder, 35% of the Zillertal Arena can be covered with machine-made flakes in a matter of minutes (by the time skiers get to the top of the lift, fresh snow will be waiting). Zillertal Arena has a good variation of ski slopes, though intermediates will have the most choices of all. They get 112 km, while beginners get 40 km and experts get 11 km. If these numbers don’t entice, then perhaps one of the 639 km of slopes found in Hochzillertal/Hochfugen, Spieljoch, Gletscherwelt or Zillertal 3000 will. Moreover, over 50 km of cross-country skiing trails awaits those who do not mind a little up with their downs on un-groomed trails. Everyone from those snowboarding to children riding the magic carpet lift (to those into night tobogganing until 1 a.m.) can rent equipment at Zillertal Arena.
Zillertal Arena Accommodation: Family hotels are one of the specialties in the Zillertal Arena; families with children are especially welcome. Additionally, three- to five-star hotels cater to a crowd looking for all-inclusive, doorstep skiing. Some areas are more akin to partying while others attract a quieter crowd. The lodging here is not segregated but tries to please all the people who make Zillertal their ski holiday destination.
