Ski holidays in Austria
This morning brought new snow again in Gerlos after the 2nd night of snow in succession and with temperatures set to fall over the coming week and the arrival of new snow, Easter is looking good in Austria. I was over watching live music in Konigsleiten yesterday and today spent a bit more time around [...]
So the skies cleared today and the powder in both Konigsleiten and Hochkrimml was great. The gradient in the Konigsleiten area of the Zillertal Arena was better for powder skiing and there was some great powder routes on offer but it was a nice surprise to ski some powder on the fringes of the Hochkrimml [...]
I remember (just) from my surfing days that when swells arrived our schedules went out of the window. Everything apart from surfing and partying were relegated to inconveniences - ah the days of youthful innocence and transgressions. I feel like a kid again - I loaded up the car with the powder boards tonight and [...]
Just back from the Zillertal Arena and saw Gerlos après ski at its best - snowing heavily, europop après ski mixes, Glühwein stands and the mountain lit up in the distance - it was a great sight. The lifts were running today in Gerlos and for those up there it was certainly a great powder [...]
Just back from Zell am Ziller in the Zillertal Arena. If you haven’t been, change that soon - it is one of the best kept secrets in Austrian skiing. I personally rate alongside the Arlberg as the best ski region in Austria. It is very different to the Arlberg and very varied. The fundamentals are [...]
One of the themes that we feature on the new Skiing Austria website is the ‘best skiing in Austria’. We think that the best ski holiday resorts in Austria are Lech, St Anton, Stuben, Neustift, Solden, Konigsleiten, Gerlos and Zauchensee. There are some very big names in Austrian skiing clearly missing from this list and [...]
The TV weather channel here in Austria complete with its accompanying Volksmusik is showing a very white landscape across Austria. The Zillertal Arena resorts of Gerlos and Konigsleiten are continuing to see heavy snow as are the Zell am See - Kaprun and Saalbach-Hinterglemm regions. The Kitzsteinhorn Glacier looked in great shape whilst all the [...]

The Zillertal Arena resorts of Zell am Ziller, Gerlos, Konigsleiten and Hochkrimml open for action on the 5th December. The following weekend there is a musical extravaganza with none other than DJ Moped. If [...]
At the heart of the Zillertal Arena, Gerlos offered great skiing both on and off-piste, whilst the terrain around Wilde Krimml that links the ski areas of Gerlos and Zell am Ziller had some of the most spectacular scenery that you will see; all on Boxing Day 2008. For intermediate skiers and snowboarders, Gerlos and [...]
