The picturesque villages & ski resorts of Austria offer wide, quiet slopes, fantastic après ski and all with a contagiously friendly atmosphere. Many of the Austrian ski resorts are 1.5 hours or less from the airport hubs of Innsbruck and Salzburg, making them perfect for a short ski break or long weekend.
With wellness practically a national pastime, expect plenty of saunas, steam rooms and spas - a welcome indulgence after a day on the slopes. In the more traditional hotels they may expect you to shed your clothes, don't say we didn't warn you!
The quality of the ski areas, a diverse range of accommodation options and a friendly welcome, deliver a fantastic experience together with the Austrian's inimitable sense of fun and frivolity. And with the short transfer times from Innsbruck and Salzburg airports, short ski breaks to Austria are some of the most popular amongst flexiski customers.
