Ski again - Time for a comeback
Taking to your skis again means re-discovering the lightness of being. And in Austria, there are plenty of special offers to help you to fall in love with skiing all over again.
Austria's ski regions make it easy to get back into the fun of skiing, thanks to a range of special offers: refresher ski courses and specialist instructors who are every bit as charming and fun as back then; ski groups or private lessons and attractive all-inclusive prices which include equipment. On wide and gentle slopes, it's a fun-filled way to get your skiing technique up-to-date.
Rediscover the feeling of flowing, effortless skiing. And you will also quickly notice that, compared to the past, some things have changed. Sculpted carving skis instead of long skis; slopes that are perfectly prepared every day. Waiting times at the lifts are practically a thing of the past. But what is still the same is the tangible joie de vivre, the thrill of the Alps.

Why Austria?
If you'd consider trying somewhere new this year to reawaken your passion for the slopes, then there's never been a better time to book a trip to the Austrian Alps. The country has welcomed winter sports enthusiasts for generations, and there are some very good reasons people choose to visit:
Austria is a popular winter destination for the British market with a share of 28%, which includes 2.1m overnight stays and 425,000 arrivals. It is the second most popular ski destination for Brits.
With authentic resorts, ideal infrastructure, slopes for every level and the international reputation of the ski schools Austria is known as THE classic (re)learn to ski destination.
There are 500 ski schools in Austria, so you do not have to worry if your skills are not up to scratch. With the Ski again package the SkiWorkShop, a 16-hour training programme, is included in the package.
A customer satisfaction survey of 44,000 British skiers and boarders showed five Austrian resorts in the top 10 for best overall holiday experience.
The global market for alpine and cross-country skis totals EUR 3.2 m. 50% of that market is allocated to Austrian ski brands like Atomic and Fischer. That's because Austria is the heartland of ski racing, so many industry-leading brands originate from here.
