Austrian Ski Essentials
- Ski Rental: Skis, poles, boots, snowboards, snow shoes or toboggans! Whatever it is that you need it is readily available for hire in all winter resorts in Austria with a wide range of products and styles to choose from. Note that whilst some resorts have ski wear for hire, this is not yet standard.
- Après Ski: Austria is the birthplace of Après Ski and what a better way to accomplish the last run as with a cool beer, a Glühwein in one of the famous après ski bars. If you prefer it a bit more quite, relax in front of a cosy open fire place with a good glass of wine or a hot tea.
- Ski schools: Experienced skiers will love the variety most of the 500 ski schools are offering. Improve your skiing skills with a technique or telemark course, fun carving or racing training.
- Ski guides: for a day off piste in powder or to check out new terrain we highly recommend getting an experienced ski guide which can be booked at most Austrian ski schools.
- Free ski shuttle busses: Most ski resorts are offering free shuttle busses within the ski resorts for holders of valid Ski Passes. Check the local timetables for pick up and drop off
- Ski pistes: blue - Beginners, red - Intermediate, black - Advanced
- Weather and Snow forecasts: Almost every ski resort offers its local "Panorama TV Channel" with the most up to date information on snow conditions, weather and life panorama views of the ski resort!
- Season periods: The ski season in some Austrian ski resorts starts late November and finishes in April. Check with your ski resort for more detailed information. Christmas Time is always peak season, where else from 6 Jan till end of Jan it is off peak season!
