GUIDE
What Sets Skiing In Austria Apart?
The Best Après Ski
Après ski is woven into the fabric of Austrian ski life. Music is turned up, live bands take to the home-run bars, and the party starts while the ski lifts are still running.
Authentic Alpine Charm
Austria is famous for warm hospitality, with mountain huts serving homemade apple strudel, passed down through generations. Instead of high-rises, you’ll find hand-painted chalets and villages with cute onion-domed churches, open year-round.
Really Good Food
Austria has really good food – think schnitzel, dumplings, and glühwein.
Fast Lifts, Short Transfers
Austria’s fast, modern lift systems, combined with short airport transfers (often 90 minutes from Innsbruck or Salzburg), make it a popular choice for short breaks and families.

FAQS
Austria Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best month to ski in Austria?
Austria’s modern snowmaking systems and grassy bases mean good conditions are available from December through April. January and February offer the most reliable snow, but late-season skiing, especially on glaciers like Obergurgl’s, remains strong. World-class snowmaking also ensures reliable coverage across Austrian resorts.
Where is the best ski weekend in Austria?
With resorts like St Anton and Mayrhofen just 90 minutes from Innsbruck or Salzburg airports, Austria is perfect for short ski breaks.
Is Austria cheap to ski in?
Lift passes, food, and drinks can be up to 20% cheaper than in France, making ski holidays in Austria excellent value without sacrificing quality.
Which are the most popular ski resorts in Austria for British skiers?
St Anton tops our bookings, but Obergurgl, Mayrhofen, Saalbach, and Ischgl are close favourites.
Is Austria a good destination for a family ski holiday?
Yes. Shorter transfer times, welcoming villages, excellent ski schools, and affordable, family-friendly chalets and hotels make Austria ideal for families.
