The resort of Alpbach with its narrow streets, wooden chalets and beautiful tree-lined settings remains one of the most charming villages in the Austrian Tyrol. There are lots of family-run hotels and B&Bs offering traditional Austrian accommodation, but just be aware that you will need to ca...

Gerlos became part of the wider Zillertal Arena ski area when the connecting lifts were installed in 2000. Today the ski area is large by Austria standards (163km) and far ranging. To ski from one end to the other and back would take a good skier all day (with little hanging about) and takes in s...

Hinterglemm is the less glitzy neighbouring resort to Saalbach. Four kilometres away and sharing the same excellent ski area, Hinterglemm offers some great value accommodation. The après ski scene is fairly lively (as in Saalbach) but there is less noisy nightlife - perfect for families preferrin...

Lech is arguably the smartest ski resort in Austria. With a delightful, fair sized, prestigious and picturesque Alpine village with a largely intermediate piste network. For experts the off-piste is the main attraction and for beginners there are lots of good, easy slopes to cruise. The lift syst...

The interlinked Austrian resorts of Flachau, Wagrain and Alpendorf belong to the wider Salzburger Sportwelt area and together form the largest of the five ski regions making up the total Ski Amadé (with a total of 760km of slopes). In 2013 the G Link modern gondola opened dramatically increas...

Westendorf is a small, traditional village with many older buildings and excellent nursery slopes. This small but lively village has a lot of Austrian charm and character. Westendorf is separated slightly from the main ski area but frequent buses to the lifts and to neighbouring resorts mean that...

Zurs is a popular ski resort with the international glitterati and generally caters for a well-heeled crowd. There are very few 3-star hotels but a large collection of excellent 4 and 5 star properties. Zurs is linked with the resort of Lech and both resorts form part of the massive Arlberg ski r...
