When it comes to winter holidays, Austria is our most popular destination, and deservedly so, not least because the hotels are of a particularly high quality and the hospitality second to none, especially in the Tyrol.
Another reason is that the cross-country skiing in Austria is excellent; meandering along the well-organised trails beneath majestic peaks is a real joy. If you are new to it, read our guide to cross-country skiing – Austria caters well for beginners right through to experienced skiers.
But you needn’t be keen on skiing to enjoy a winter holiday in Austria – snowshoeing and winter walking are both great ways to enjoy the snowy landscapes, and there are miles of trails at most villages. Alternatively, you could choose a Christmas market break or a journey by rail between the glorious cities of Innsbruck, Salzburg and Vienna.
Whether you opt for a cross-country skiing, winter walking or snowshoeing holiday, you can rest assured that all our winter holidays in Austria have been carefully selected – we seek out welcoming, family-run hotels of character in idyllic locations.
