Skiing Holidays in Austria

 

Skiing Holidays in Austria are like coming home - this is, after all, known as the home of skiing. The Tirol Region offers a wide variety of slopes and cross-country skiing tracks as well as breathtaking scenery and good value for money for skiers of all levels. If you prefer a day off the slopes or even a winter activity holiday the Austrian Tirol region and the village of Scheffau offer surprising opportunities away from the piste.

Six of the Top 10 ski resorts in the whole world are in Austria and SkiWelt was voted 'Top Ski Area 2009' by Ski Resort Service International, with additional awards for 'Best Info', 'Best Lift System' and 'Best Parking'. and 2009/10 sees the launch of the innovative SonnenLift - operated by solar power.

The natural geograpy of the SkiWelt arena - Austria's largest interconnected ski arena, makes it ideal for beginner and intermediate skiers. With 91 lifts, 279 kilometres of ski runs and 70 refreshment stops all on one lift pass SkiWelt offers endless possibilities.

Access to the skiing area is by gondola from the valley station in Scheffau and as this lies right in the middle of the SkiWelt arena you can access the other villages in SkiWelt very easily indeed.
