Having played a major part in the development of skiing styles and techniques, they provide state of the art instruction, seasoned with Austrian charm and “Gemuetlichkeit”. Another great aspect about skiing in Austria is that the slopes are dotted with cozy sun terraces, charming skiing huts and excellent restaurants, because after an exhilarating day of physical activity, we Austrians love to reward ourselves with warm and satisfying meals or simply a mug of hot chocolate in the afternoon sun.
