Ski resorts in Austria with thermal springs are the best a traveler can choose for a winter holiday. All around are the milky white peaks of majestic mountains, fantastically beautiful glaciers and stunning landscapes. Below are colorful valleys, where a well-deserved aromatic mulled wine and apple strudel await you. Crowds of skiers and snowboarders scurry back and forth nearby. In the meantime, you are here, above, where the light and sky are reflected in every snowflake.

Convenient location

Innsbruck has its own airport, which means that once you fly to Austria, you won’t have to travel anywhere else. At the same time, there is an opportunity to visit the original Austrian villages that are located in the neighborhood and choose a new resort for skiing every day.

Developed infrastructure and the availability of everything necessary for a comfortable stay at the highest level.

More details about the “capital” of Tyrol can be found on the official website of the city of Innsbruck.

The best resorts for skiing in Tyrol :

  • Mayrhofen;
  • Sölden;
  • St. Anton am Arlberg;
  • Kitzbühel; Ischgl.

Mayrhofen

Mayrhofen is my favorite ski resort, and not only because it is the cheapest in Austria. The city is located 65 km from Innsbruck Airport.

First of all, this is a youth and party place where nightlife never stops. And since I love to have fun from the bottom of my heart, Mayrhofen never disappoints me.

Sölden

Sölden – an incredibly beautiful resort village, the landscapes of which are stunning. It is located 84 km from Innsbruck, and the most convenient way to get here is by bus “ Ötztal Shuttle" Prices at the resort are in the average range.

If, impressed by the natural beauties, you decide to choose this place for your vacation, keep in mind: Sölden – a resort for the most advanced, here is the largest number difficult trails, the total length of which is 150 km.

Also, you should pay attention to the fact that even if you are not a beginner, but have not ridden for a long time, you should not go here either.

I will never forget how, after a break of several years, I found myself on the mountain Gaislachkogel, looked down and my heart stopped. For a long time I couldn’t decide how to go down: on skis or on foot. Courage and courage prevailed, and, although with stops, I descended, but I never climbed to such a height that day.

St. Anton am Arlberg

This is one of the oldest Austrian resorts. The skiing tradition began here in 1904, from the moment the first downhill competition was held in the town. One of the world's first ski schools opened here. The tradition of holding major competitions has not been forgotten, and in 2001 the World Alpine Ski Championships were held here.

Nowadays, skiers are offered a variety of slopes, the total length of which is about 280 km, but beginners should not go here.

The distance from the resort to Innsbruck is 103 km, the best way to travel is by rail. Distance to – 184 km.

I really like the local shops, where you can buy both items from leading world brands and small souvenirs. I once bought candied violets here, which, as it turned out, were edible. Amazing!

Kitzbühel

Kitzbühel is an elite and one of the oldest resorts, the distinctive feature of which is its unique medieval flavor; the buildings of the 16th century here will not surprise anyone. Located 100 km from Innsbruck.

Kitzbühel's calling card is legendary Streif circuit, which is known to be used for the Downhill World Cup.

The ski infrastructure of the town is also impressive: Kitzbühel has 160 km of ski slopes and about 60 lifts.

Ischgl

Ischgl - one of the most prestigious Austrian resorts, Hollywood stars, “golden youth”, and businessmen relax here. The place is especially attractive for freeriders.

Concerts from world-class artists are often held here, and the altitude range from 2000 to 2872 meters guarantees a variety of descents.

Conditions have also been created here for alpine skiing. So if you want to ski and at the same time immerse yourself in Bavarian culture, this is the place for you.

Among the ski resorts I would highlight the following :

  • Zell am See - Kaprun;
  • Saalbach.

Zell am See – Kaprun

Includes resorts: Zell am See, Piesendorf, Kaprun, which are united in the European Sports Region. Distance from Salzburg – 60 km, from Innsbruck – 100 km. The most convenient way to get here is by train.

A well-developed ski infrastructure, more than 40 km of excellent slopes and about 20 ski lifts gave the region the right to qualify for hosting the Winter Olympic Games, but it has not yet worked out. However, I am confident that there is great things ahead for such a stunning region.

It's incredibly beautiful everywhere here, but lake Zeller See- beyond any competition, his appearance takes your breath away, and at such moments you stop believing your eyes.

Kitzsteihorn glacier– the calling card of the complex, thanks to which skiing is possible here all year round.

Piesendorf accommodates trails for beginners.

There are much fewer tourists here than in Tyrol, which will undoubtedly be appreciated by fans of a relaxing holiday who do not like crowds.

The region is dotted with restaurants, welcomingly offering the best beer and exquisite examples of haute cuisine, in the truest sense of the word. The local Salzburg dumplings melt in your mouth, as does the Sachertorte.

Did I tell you about the chocolate-musical miracle “Mozart-Kugel”? It is in this region that you should buy the famous chocolates with the profile of the Master.

Saalbach

Saalbach is a 20-minute drive from Zell am See and is considered an attractive winter holiday destination. The resort pleasantly surprises with the abundance of trails and a convenient system for placing ski lifts, making ski safari possible here.

But personally, what I like most is the local après ski, where the delicious mulled wine never ends. Together with costumed carnivals and enchanting snow shows, this is the best option for spending leisure time after a whole day of dizzying descents.

Carinthia

This land borders Tyrol and Salzburg, and its center is Klagenfurt, population – 600 thousand people.

Fans of extreme or varied skiing have nothing special to do in this region. But real aesthetes, romantics, lovers of antiquity and fans of a relaxing holiday will be amazed: interesting landscape, countless picturesque valleys and mountains, a bunch of colorful lakes in combination with ancient castles And palaces form an incredible spectacle. And the original Austrian villages and pastoral atmosphere do not let go for long.

A nice bonus is that prices are lower here than in the above ski resorts, and there are significantly fewer tourists. Total advantages!

The local ski resorts of Nassfeld and Hermagor-Pressegger See offer good skiing facilities.

Styria

It is the second largest state of Austria with its capital in the city Graz. The location of the district is convenient, as it is in close proximity to several European airports.

The region has many attractions and antiques. There are good conditions here for skiers and snowboarders.

The number one ski region here is considered Dachstein Tauern with its large resort center Schladming. At the same time, Schladming, Rohrmoos, Pichl and Haus-Ennstal are connected to each other and form a single ski area, so that the landscapes do not repeat during the descents, and ski trips become varied.

Thermal resorts in Austria

The magical mountain air has healing properties, and in combination with thermal springs, the effect on the human body will be healing. Austrian thermal spas are not only a luxurious wellness holiday, they are wellness, relaxation and a peaceful atmosphere.

I would like to draw your attention to the fact that all resorts in Austria that have the prefix “ Bad» are classified as thermal. Many places combine skiing and thermal springs, which is very convenient.

The surrounding beauty and attractions are also important, but the main thing that needs to be taken into account is the diseases that are treated at a particular resort.

My beloved Tyrol is not rich in thermal resorts; here is the only such resort in the town Lengefeld. They treat mainly diseases of the joints and blood vessels, rheumatism and diseases associated with circulatory disorders.

Aquadom Spa in Lengefeld

Already mentioned Carinthia, In addition, it can also boast of good thermal baths, and there are a little more than sixty healing springs in the region. The largest of the local thermal resorts are Bad Kleinkirchheim And Vilah.

Circulatory disorders, infectious diseases and diseases of the nervous system can be easily relieved with the help of local thermal springs. Modern medical technologies, high-quality equipment and experienced doctors guarantee recovery, as well as an unforgettable vacation in comfortable conditions.

In my opinion the earth Salzburg— optimally combines opportunities for skiing and healing with the help of thermal waters. If in Tyrol there is more skiing, then in Salzburg excellent conditions have been created for both treatment and skiing.

The thermal center of the district is considered Bad Gastein, which is located one hundred kilometers from Salzburg. The main wealth of the resort is radon baths and mineral springs, which are used to treat the respiratory system, polyarthritis, and arthrosis. Local experts have discovered that the content of radon in local adits, air humidity up to 90% and its temperature of 37.5 to 41.5 have a healing effect on the body and actively use this formula.

It is preferable to live here in the medical and health complex “Felsenbad”. Prices at the resort, unfortunately, are high.

Gambling vacationers will be pleasantly surprised, because the resort has highland casino. But, to be honest, I like the local landscapes and the calling card of the town - its fantastic beauty waterfall. But what attracts me most is the opportunity, unique for Austrian resorts, to go straight from the ski slopes to the hot thermal pool. Indescribable sensations and invigorating contrast.

And if you want to visit a more modern place in the region, then the huge Tauern Spa complex in Kaprun will welcomingly open its doors. It was built in 2010, so the equipment here is only the newest. Thermal Upper Austria- a region that pays special attention to healthy recreation at the highest level.

Traditional health and thermal resorts such as Bad Zell, Bad Ischl or Bad Hall have long found their fans. But new places are not afraid of competition and use heavy artillery in the fight; in Bad Schallerbach they launched color thermal baths, the first in Austria, and the Aquapulco thermal baths amaze with the Caribbean idyll and attract children.

Children's thermal baths Aquapulco

See what a wonderful holiday you can organize with children in Bad Schallerbach!

They are also actively being overtaken by the ultra-modern thermal baths of Lower Austria, which “take over” with light performances and salt pools with underwater music; I liked the local thermal baths of Laa). Undoubtedly, a luxurious wellness holiday at thermal springs provides an opportunity to relax and improve your health, to detach yourself from the challenges of modernity, but personally, I can’t stand more than two days in such an environment – ​​it’s boring. And with health, thank God, everything is fine.

So, being in Austria and having swam for two days in a relaxing thermal pool, I go further: skiing, where there are snow-capped peaks, bright mountain sun and the wind in my hair.

The wonderful climate, abundance of thermal springs and clean air of the Alpine mountains contribute to the great popularity of Austria as a country favorable for recreation and treatment among tourists from all over the world. At Austrian thermal resorts you can not only relax your body and soul, but also get rid of many diseases.

Treatment with thermal waters
