No end in sight? This makes skiing really fun! Kilometers of slopes to the next hut...

Fantastically beautiful and snow-sure ski resorts in Austria - the small Alpine republic has always been the dreamland of all piste junkies. Winter sports enthusiasts will find everything they need to be happy here: gentle low mountain ranges and breathtaking peaks, slopes and cross-country ski trails for all levels of difficulty, toboggan runs and ice rinks for young and old, as well as hotels, guesthouses and inns for every requirement and every taste. We present three of the most popular ski resorts in Austria here.

Endless slopes: the SkiWelt Wilder Kaiser

More than 280 kilometers of slopes, 90 mountain lifts, 77 huts with sun terraces, 3 fun parks and Austria's largest night skiing area: no wonder SkiWelt Wilder Kaiser in Brixental Valley is one of the most visited ski resorts in Austria! Families also get their money's worth here: children up to the age of 15 ski for free at certain times, and discounts such as the so-called Young Family Card offer plenty of benefits. If you want lots of options and even more fun during your ski vacations, this is the place for you.

Ski resorts in Austria: lifestyle is a top priority in Ischgl-Samnaun

The Silvretta Arena Ischgl-Samnaun offers everything a skier's heart desires - first-class pistes, ultra-fast mountain lifts, challenging descents and, above all, endless skiing fun. Ischgl is also the perfect place for fans of sophisticated après-ski entertainment: At the beginning and end of the season, for example, the legendary "Top of the Mountain" concerts, featuring many international stars of the music scene, beckon here.

Skiing and tobogganing against a magical backdrop: Salzburger Land

It is a paradise for downhill and cross-country skiers: the Salzburger Sportwelt is the place to be. There are 230 kilometers of ski slopes, idyllic valleys and majestic winter forests - a highlight is the almost 2,200-meter-high Gamskogel, which even offers a World Cup downhill run. Cross-country skiers also have the best conditions! All those who like to party and turn night into day will find après-ski nightlife in Salzburger Land.
