From Salzburgerland to Tirol, Austrian ski resorts combine a winning mix of tradition and fairytale prettiness with inter-connected ski areas and a massive dollop of good old-fashioned fun.

Short airport transfers are ideal for families, with many resorts within 90 minutes’ drivetime from Salzburg. Once there, families will find a welcome and standard of care for children that’’s hard to beat.

But for us, the biggest plus when skiing or boarding in Austria is its value-for-money. Lunch on the mountain and drinks in the evening seem so much sweeter when prices are affordable!

The Austrians are passionate about skiing and tourism. Oh and let’s not forget general health & wellbing; pampering yourself is taken very seriously in Austrian resorts with both traditional and contemporary thermal spas almost a standard.
