Austrian ski resorts offer what most people dream about when planning an alpine holiday: beautiful villages with historical centers, snow covered mountains and a vibrant cosmopolitan night life. Here the emphasis is on enjoying the resort as much as the ski runs: the restaurants, the bars, the shops the swimming pools and Spas are all waiting to be enjoyed.
Some of the most renowned ski resorts can be found here: Kitzbuhel, Zell am See, St. Anton, Saalbach, Seefeld, Bad Gastein and Lech, amongst others. There are also glaciers which offer all year round skiing, such as Hintertux and Kaprun (7 km. from Zell am See). In addition you will find some of the best snow parks in Europe which makes it great for snowboarders as well.
All in all, Austria is ideal for people who put as much emphasis on lifestyle and night-life as on discovering some fabulous ski runs.
