Majestic castles and small wooden houses nestled among hills, forests and snow-capped peaks, quiet towns and picturesque villages scattered in the lower Alps. This is Austria, a country of incredible nature, with one of the oldest cultures and civilizations in Europe. Vienna, the capital of the country, means Schubert, Brahms, Mozart, Beethoven and last but not least the waltzes and hundreds of years of Viennese atmosphere.
Austria is known for its ski areas and winter sports conditions, suitable for both professionals and beginners.
Holidays in Austria are suitable for all lovers of the mountain, regardless of their age or nationality: families, groups of friends, athletes or amateurs offering services for all tastes. Ski and snowboard schools offer courses of varying degrees of complexity at reasonable prices, and teachers are young and communicative, but also very good professionals. Kids have a great chance to learn how to ski in a fun way, almost like a game. After hours on the runways, you can enjoy a glass of mulled wine, or you can choose to spend the evening at one of the many restaurants, cafes, pubs or bars in any resort.
And if you don't like skiing, you can always try sledding, or try snowboarding, skating, hockey and even ice climbing walls, both beginner and advanced. It should also be mentioned that in the ski region of Salzburg and resorts such as Zell am See and Kaprun, as well as Schladming and Dachstein-Tauern, many international competitions are organized, but there are also quiet resorts located at the base of the slopes and equipped with ultra-modern mineral springs.
