From the new Flexenbahn lift creating Austria's largest interlinked ski area to the zellamseeXpress reopening access to popular downhill runs that were used between 1930 and 1980, there is plenty to get you talking about Austria this winter.

Whether you're a skier perfecting your glides or a snowboarder looking to twist some turns in freshly fallen snow, you'll find everything you need in Austria. Pristine pistes, top-of-the-notch resorts, world-class ski schools, optimal snow conditions, challenging slopes plus family and beginner-friendly areas amongst some of the most beautiful mountain scenery in Europe.
 
After a day making tracks in the snow, head to a mountain hut for some rocking après-ski or indulge at a local restaurant. Time your trip right to revel in the magic of the season and sip Glühwein under the twinkling lights of a Christmas Market.
 
Wherever and whenever you go you are certain to experience that unrivalled Austrian hospitality and be pleasantly surprised at the outstanding value for money that a winter holiday in Austria offers. Visit www.austria.info/winter16 for some of the best places to ski this season.
