Skiing in Austria - good by tradition
Over 40% of Austria's surface area lies above 1,000 m. No wonder Austria can look back on a long skiing tradition. You can see and feel it everywhere. Mountain huts and snacks with traditional delicacies ensure your physical well-being. Winter customs are celebrated in a lively way. International winter sports events have been attracting the crème de la crème of top athletes to the Alpine republic for decades.
Absolute snow guarantee on your winter vacation in Austria
Increasing climate change means that low mountain ranges can hardly guarantee snow. At high altitudes in the Austrian Alps, you don't need to worry about this. Here you can count on perfect winter sports conditions during your skiing holiday, especially as many pistes can be artificially snowed. You can even enjoy winter sports in August on certain glacier trails! This is where dreams come true
