Ski HolidaysAustrian Alps - Information
The Austrian Alps are Europe's major range of mountains, spanning from the Mediterranean coast of France via Switzerland, N Italy and Austria to Slovenia. A considerable area of Austria is part of this mountain range, accordingly hiking, skiing, snowboarding and cross-country skiing rate highly among Austrian's favourite pastimes.
The clean air, spectacular sights, lakes and glaciers and well-tended trails and hikes contribute to the Alps allure and attract numerous tourists and visitors. The Alps flora and fauna is unique as well: the Edelweiss, Austria's national flower, and Gentian ('Enzian') may be rare, but they have shaped the world’s image of Austria and the Alps. Local animals such as chamois, marmots and ibexes are well adapted to the alpine habitat.
Would you fancy a Skiing trip to Austria? The Arlberg region has an interconnected lift system linking the four major resorts of Lech, St. Christoph, Zurs and St. Anton. The trails of the Arlberg region are mostly big, rolling slopes above the tree line. St Anton is the largest of the four with 260 kilometers of variable terrain.
