Austria
Ski Holidays

It may sound cliché, but Austria really does tick all of the ski holiday boxes.

From the beginner-friendly nursery slopes of Alpbach to the near-vertical faces of St Anton, skiers of all abilities will revel in this high-altitude snowy wonderland.

Fantastic skiing, pretty alpine villages and arguably the world’s best apres-ski.

Lofty peaks and glaciers mean there's plenty of good snow all season. And if you want to avoid the crowds, you can ski as early as September and as late as May in some parts of the Austrian Alps. And when the ski legs get tired, mess around on snow tubes with the kids, dance on tables with a cold beer in hand, or savour fine Austrian food in swanky restaurants. Style out your Austria ski holiday any way you want.
