Kitzbühel
“One of the largest ski resorts in the world, rich with Austrian history and a traditional approach to skiing. From a gastronomical perspective, the food and beverages are of a traditional Austrian nature. The Apreś Ski scene is phenominal. There are dozens of bars and clubs in and around the Kitzbühel village. Transport to and from Kitzbühel can be presented with challenges as the directions...” --RichardW1995
Lech-Zurs
“This used to be my 'home' mountain when I lived still in Europe: went to ski there once or twice a year for 1-2 weeks for 25 years. Went back last year (living in Canada now since 4 years): it is still a magical place. Contrary to northamerican resorts and some French resorts, this place has a history: plenty of atmosphere. As the terrain is really big and varied, you can pass a day of skiing...” --Pieter
St. Anton
“ All right, I wrote the copy for the description above, but didn't get around to rating the place when I added St Anton to Epicski's data base, so I'm reclaiming my original text and adding a few recollections: The draw: some of the best frontside / sidecountry terrain in all of Austria, amazing Alpine vistas, and a reputation for the best Apres-Ski scene in the Alps. Expect lots of...” --Veloscente
Kuhtai
“ Compact little village, great for families, if you want a few beers after skiing, dinner at the hotel and a quiet night. There are a couple of bars and a small nightclub. The buffet dinner at the Hotel Mooshaus is excellent. The lift-served ski area is not massive, but there are great opportunities for touring. One nice little mini tour that we did, involves hiking up to, and skiing down,...” --Martin Bell
Heiligenblut
“My favorite hill. Heiligenblut is not the biggest place and it can be a bit difficult to get to, but it is so beautiful there that it will take your breath away. It's really two mountains, with the second accessible by a small underground train. The on-mountain huts with food and drink are a nice touch, and provide excellent food with warm, friendly service. They really groom well there,...” --Tervizeks
Silvretta Montafon
“ Warning! you are entering the EURO-ZONE For a true Euro Style ski vacation try Silvretta-Montafon formally known as Silvretta-Nova in the Vorarlburg region of Austria. This is where Swiss and Austrian skiers go to get away from it all. The Montafon alpine valley, which extends from Bludenz to the glaciers of the Silvretta and up to Piz Buin (3,312 m). ...” --Skidmarks
Saalbach-Hinterglemm
“ I skied Saalbach-Hinterglemm-Leogang for one day in February 2003. My experience is from ten years ago and therefore dated, but I'm entering this review because it had none and is a major Austrian ski area not far from Kitzbuhel. I really enjoyed my lone day there, but do not have intimate knowledge of the resort so take this superficial impression with a grain of SALT, especially...” --Jamesj
Ischgl
“A fabulous mountain with great accomodations though on the pricey side. Great off piste and entertaining adult evenings can be found. ” --dilly
Schlick 2000
“ Schlick 2000 First things first, I really enjoyed it there. It's where i learnt to ski and is a great place to learn to ski. This is because there is plenty of beginners slopes to teach you the basics and get used to, then as you get better there is always a slope that can accomodate you. What i mean is as you get better there is always a slope that will challenge you. Once you've...” --jagclarke
Dachstein
“I really enjoyed Filzmoos. It's a small Austrian town 45 minutes outside of Salzburg that isn't too small (your choice of restaurants and shops), and yet everything is right on the slopes. Walk out of your door, and step into your skiis. Literally. No walking. A completely stress free, relaxing trip. There is nothing greater than finishing the last run, skiing to your door and not having to...” --chriswilliams
