Austria is a wonderful mix of old-world chalet-studded
villages, lift-linking ski areas, lively mountain huts,
rustic wood-paneled restaurants and exceptional nightlife
and après-ski. The Austrian Alps have three major
chains:
The Northern Limestone Alps, have many natural
valleys and are home of resorts such as Lech, St.Anton,
Ischgl and Kitzbühl.
The High Alps are anchored by the Oetztal resorts
of Sölden, Obergurgl, and stretch to Innsbruck,
Zell am See and Kaprun.
The Southern Limestone Alps form the border with Italy
and Slovenia.
As important as atmosphere, mountains, chalets and skiing
may be, Austria has another secret ingredient. This is
a country where sincere hospitality is demanded as important
as great skiing. Austrians seem to go out of their way
to make visitors feel at home. From the ski instructors
to the hotel managers to the restaurant owners, they seem
to take genuine pleasure in knowing that you have enjoyed
yourself in their country.
Although Austria is one of skiing capitals in the world,
it is very affordable: this, with the hospitality you'll
encounter, will help to ensure a fond memory of your trip. |
