Christmas skiing in Austria

What can be better than a guaranteed “White Christmas” whilst skiing down the slopes in the Austrian Alps? The Christmas season in Austria is truly magical.

You will find the resorts and the hotels beautifully decorated throughout for that festive atmosphere. It really is something special. The mountains are covered in snow and your general backdrop is what picture postcards are made of.

Many families and couples love to come skiing at Christmas time. The whole atmosphere, with twinkling lights and roaring log fires, hot chocolate and mulled wine lends itself to the perfect idea of festive fun.

Most of the hotels and resorts have special Christmas programs, including gala dinners, and Christmas parties to make your time there more enjoyable. Some of the resorts will have special events, with DJs and live music for those that like to party.

The ski stations work tirelessly to maintain the pistes at optimum levels. Santa, himself, has been known to fly down those slopes in Austria on more than one occasion, much to the delight of the children (and adults) who get to see him. Apparently, he has even been seen snowboarding down the pistes and has visited the children's ski school a few times too. What more could you ask for to make the perfect Christmas for the kids ?

So, have yourselves a unique and truly magical Christmas time. Ho Ho Ho!
