Resorts within Austria:

Picturesque villages, traditional family-run hotels, guesthouses and welcoming hospitality. Austria is famous for its beer and schnappsfuelled fun apres-ski; mountain restaurants and bars start the proceedings mid-afternoon with live music and dancing. Not all resorts are this lively but the larger ones such as St Anton, Saalbach & Hinterglemm, Solden and Zell am See certainly are!

As a predominantly Catholic country, Austrian villages are home to some beautiful churches, typically with an onion-domed bell tower that resonates early every Sunday morning - not a bad alarm call to get you on the slopes.
Be aware, sauna areas in Austria tend to be naked zones. It is frowned upon to wear swimming costumes for hygiene and health reasons so be brave and make sure you take a towel!
Cuisine is hearty and delicious, a local favourite being 'Tiroler Grostl', a tasty combination of potatoes, onions, bacon and cheese cooked slowly and served in a heavy pan.
In some resorts, ski hire shops classify child and youth skis by length of ski. A rough guide to working out what length of ski your child requires is to take the height of your child and minus 30cm. We have given an approximate age range based on the average height of children in that age bracket. Once in resort, if your child requires a longer length of ski than you have booked, you may be required to pay a supplement locally.
