Ski Vacations In Austria

Ski packages to Austria offer plenty of excellent features, from clear Alpine skies, top of the range facilities, an excellent nightlife and great accommodation. The compact nature of the vacation resorts and country itself mean visitors can not only spend their days skiing, but also spend time exploring the historic towns and villages in the area. The world famous Tyrol area offers plenty of great slopes as well as that Alpine atmosphere we all crave on a ski vacation to Austria. The Tyrol is not the only area in Austria though, and there are other ski resorts to spend vacations in less popular areas, including those in the Vorarlberg and even in the area surrounding Salzburg. Whatever vacation destination is chosen in Austria, visitors can be assures of a great time, as well as some of the best ski packages on offer.

The resorts are well spread throughout the country. In the Tyrol region, which has by far the widest selection of resorts, skier can head to Innsbruck and the surrounding area, for some fantastic skiing and a great centre of après-ski. St Anton am Arlberg offers slopes setting out from small villages, including the resorts of Zurs and Lech. There is also the charming village of Zell am Ziller, which is an excellent ski base and offers some beautiful medieval architecture in the village. The small village of Scheffau offers direct access to the ski lift and plenty of great skiing. In the Vorarlberg, which boasts a smaller number of resorts that are no less impressive, tourists can visit the long established resorts of Lech and Zurs, both of which have been in operation since the 1930s. Finally, in gorgeous Salzburg, there are plenty of resorts, such as Zell am See, Kaprun and Bad Gastein.

Package ski vacations are available throughout Austria, many of which can be booked in advance and offer great savings on conventional holidays. Such ski packages often include deals, as free lift passes, extra night's accommodation and reduced prices for kids, and can mean real savings, especially when traveling with all the family. Some package deals allow savings of $200 per couple with added features such as two-for-one equipment hire; early booking can also save hundreds of dollars of the winter vacation price. The two-for-one lift passes are excellent value, and can ensure plenty of money is saved. This means more cash in the pockets of skier, which will let them enjoy the fabulous après ski activities in the area.

Tourist agencies offer many vacation packages to Austria that include some amazing last minute deals at rock bottom prices. However, the best package ski deals are available generally before the start of the peak season, so people who would like to spend ski vacations in Austria are advised to book ski packages in September or October.
