When planning a ski holiday, Austria is a
must!
For many years Austria has been one of the favourite ski holiday
destinations for Australian skiers and snowboarders. In the
land of winter sports you can choose from small rustic
Austrian ski
villages to sophisticated world-renowned ski regions, which
offer not only excellent skiing but also reliable service
facilities and the opportunity to experience the Old World
attractions and culture.
Then there are the famous ski schools
where the classic Austrian style of skiing is taught. And to
top it all off one soon comes to like the fun loving, friendly
Austrians.
