| The Tirol Region | ||
offers some of the world's best skiing
and unlike many French and Swiss resorts in the alps, most resorts in Austria
are friendly and welcoming villages with traditional looking chalets perched
among ancient, domed churches. Ski season runs from December to April. To
guarantee reliable snowfall and good skiing it is best to head for the western
edges of the Tirol, to the world class St Anton, or its neighbours Lech
or Zürs, which all have extensive skiing.
AustriaAustria’s 4,000-foot-and-more vertical rises offer impreesive skiing for holidays makers. These impressive peaks may not be quite as monolithic as in neighboring France, but of all the Alps’ ski-friendly countries, Austria offers the best value for your buck, not to mention more quaint villages than Town & Country could begin to cover. The villages, interspersed within the valleys of snow-drenched Alps, add a good deal of lodging options to the normal hotel and condo scene available at most ski resorts. Main ski regions like Tyrol and Salzberg are dense with trails, and skiers can schuss from one resort to the next on the same lift ticket. In Tyrol’s Arlberg, five ski towns (including St. Anton) provide a nightlife as rigorous as the 5,000-foot slopes for energetic skiers feeling equally frenetic at night. |
