Austria

Austria tends to have more pictureque resorts as they aren't generally purpose-built like France.

St Anton

One of Europe’s great ski resorts due to its challenging slopes and vibrant nightlife. Not a resort for beginners. Two sides of the valley are skiable, with Rendl the easier. Linked with Lech. Popular with party goers.

Getting there: Train to St Anton (am Arlberg) via Munich and Paris (10 min walk to Gard l’Est). Overnight option: leave St Pancras Friday 5.30pm, leaves Paris 11pm and arrives Munich 9am Saturday 7am. Two hours via train to St Anton, so in resort by 12am. Daytime option:

Zell am See

Very pretty, traditional lake-side resort that has both summer and winter skiing on Austria’s highest mountain. Mainly intermediate level. Lively après ski means it’s popular with young Germans.

Getting there: Overnight: Train to Zell am Zee via Brussels. Overnight option: leave St Pancras Friday 5.30pm, the Bergland Express leaves Brussels 11pm and arrives Zell am Zee 11.30 Saturday. Daytime option: via Munich or Saltzberg.

Kitzbühel

Arguably the most picturesque Austrain resort, it is also hosts the Hahnenkamm, the most famous downhill course in racing. The skiing is mixed ability, however. The après-ski scene is also lively. Popular with the party set.

Getting there: Overnight: Train to Kitzbühel via Brussels. Overnight option: leave St Pancras Friday 5.30pm, the Bergland Express leaves Brussels 11pm and arrives Zell am Zee 11am Saturday. Daytime option: via Munich or Saltzberg.
