The home of winter snow holidays in Europe, Austria is the birthplace of modern Alpine skiing.
Here visitors will discover vast ski areas – some of the best in the world – and après aplenty.
Thanks to the way the runs and gondolas link across resorts, skiers have access to a huge range of pistes, with super St Anton a favourite with the more experienced skiers.
Away from the sport there is culture and partying aplenty, with chic bars and live music creating a vibrant atmosphere for those seeking a post-ski party, and strudels and craft beers offering a welcome refreshment on the slopes. Austria is also a superb destination for Christmas, and when you’re not skiing you may well find a festive market taking place in your resort town.
