Winter Resorts

Ski Resorts in Austria, France, Germany, Italy and Switzerland

Alpine resorts are much more than plain winter sports villages. Although you will find facilities and infrastructure for almost any sport imaginable, you will feel equally satisfied if you just want to revel in cultural activities, relax and have fun. Offering cozy, family run bed and breakfasts as well as luxurious five star hotels, spas and fitness facilities are never far away. High quality standards make traditional local fare as much an experience as an exquisite gourmet meal in the many top restaurants. And for activities during the day, try a fun sleigh-ride through the picturesque landscape, join the apres-ski scene, or put on ice skates to enjoy your resort from a different perspective.

Austria:
For years the quaint Tirolean village Neustift has been a favorite with travelers. As gateway to the Stubai Glacier ski area, it offers fantastic year-round skiing. High up in the Alps, the Arlberg encompasses the twin resorts of Lech and Zürs in the Vorarlberg province, and St. Anton in Tirol. While both sides of the mountain offer outstanding skiing experiences, Lech and Zürs are truly upscale and a bit more relaxed, while St. Anton prides itself with its bustling nightlife and international flair. Another beautiful resort is Zell am See. Nestled right beside a lake and two imposing mountain ranges, this quaint town offers one of the most scenic settings of any winter resort. The skiing areas are delightful and the nearby Kitzsteinhorn Glacier offers snow guarantee.
