Suggestions for a ski holiday in Austria..any particular resorts, as well as places to stay, eat, drink, etc?

Question

If you could let me know good places / resorts to ski, and any other recommendations, that would be fantastic. Thanks!

Answer 1

If you have time take a break from skiing and take the train to Buddapest. Spend a couple of days it's great

Answer 2

Go to Kitzbühel-I've been skiing and snow-boarding there and it was superb.The slopes are good and varied for beginner to advanced and it's got great apres-ski.The town has quite a few places to eat and more than enough places to drink.

If you go to - www.ifyouski.com  you can check out hotels and chalets for the area and if you don't fancy going to Kitzbühel there are other resorts on the website.

Answer 3

In general, there are 3 different places to go if you're up for party and snow:

- Kitzbühel

- St. Anton

- Lech

For families, you should prefer the area around

- Reit im Winkl

- everything close to Innsbruck

If you want a cool place (but quite expensive) to stay in Kitzbühel, check out the Arosa Hotel (http://www.arosa.de/resorts/kitzbuehel.h... But there are a lot of cheap and nice small hotels (Pensionen) around the area as well which are rustical and still close to the slopes and the city center. One of my favourites: Pension Licht.

Answer 4

Depends on if you're a beginner or intermediate or advanced. The Crystl ski brochure is good. St Anton is very renouned but better for experienced skiers.Soll is good for beginners and intermediate.Soll is 2 hours from Salzburg and 1h45 from Innsbruck.It is a vibrant resort at night.There are over 50 restaurants and a typical 3 course dinner is from €12 only.You can stay in either chalets or hotels.There are other winter sports to do too, like ice skating, sleigh rides, curling, tobagganing, bowling, indoor and outdoor pools. When going to certain resorts, it is better to fly to Munich in Germany as it is nearer some of them. The crystal brochure is excellent.
