An alpine paradise The perfect blend of alpine charm and cutting edge technology Austria has led the way in skiing for many years, hosting a range of competitive downhill competitions. The world famous Hahnenkamm was first hosted in 1931. Austrian resorts combine the latest in technology with the best of traditional alpine experiences, giving school groups an authentic, awe-inspiring ski trip.
The Alpine Experience Austrian resorts provide visitors with an authentic mountain experience. Think chocolate-box beauty and welcoming locals and you’ve pictured many of our chosen destinations. Hotels provide school groups with a comfortable stay, mixing modern day necessities with rustic, natural interiors, typical of the traditional wooden chalets synonymous with skiing. The local cuisine offered in many locations is perfect after a long day on the slopes, and many young skiers go home with a new found love of schnitzel. Add in postcard-worthy vistas, friendly staff and efficient service, and you’ve got the quintessential alpine experience that is Austria.
World Famous, High Altitude Resorts There is a common misconception that Austria only offers low altitude skiing. Although many villages are located at a height of 700m – 800m, many nursery slopes start at 1,500m above sea level with the main ski area continuing up from there. HTS’s chosen resorts offer fantastic highlevel skiing with excellent snow records. When nature isn’t so forthcoming, Austrian resorts have a high concentration of snowmaking facilities to supplement the snowfall throughout the season.
4
The size of a ski area is a major factor when planning a school ski trip. HTS groups have the option to visit some of Europe’s largest linked resorts and most impressive glaciers. By partnering with neighbouring resorts, Austrian resorts have successfully built links that provide skiers with a greater variety of terrain, accessed by lift instead of road. Austria has led the pack, developing bigger, more technologically-advanced “super resorts” such as the Arlberg region’s vast 305km of piste. Austria offers several glaciers with a height of over 3200m. The Hintertux, Stubai and Kitzsteinhorn glaciers offer year-round skiing and can be accessed from HTS resorts. The length of the season is also impressive, often running from late September through to early summer.
Impressive Infrastructure The infrastructure in our featured Austrian ski resorts is of an extremely high standard, with even the smallest villages boasting transportation links to other ski areas. This enables HTS groups to access the extensive skiing terrain on offer with ease. Austrian ski resorts have embraced innovation to continue providing a top-quality service to skiers. New cutting-edge technology has improved cableways, gondolas and chairlifts, providing an unbeatable and safe ski experience for students and teachers alike. It’s not only investment in lift systems that has seen Austria’s infrastructure rival some of Europe’s top destinations. Technology on the slopes has also developed with enhanced snowmaking facilities ensuring skiers can enjoy an uninterrupted ski experience. It means schools can be confident in choosing from a greater range of resorts with snow coverage, allowing everyone from beginners to advanced skiers to enjoy a memorable school ski trip in Austria.

Taking place as a separate activity from the meals at your accommodation, ice cream evenings are a firm favourite with school groups, even despite the colder temperatures!
School groups can enjoy a 2-hour swimming session at an indoor pool, which typically feature slides and flumes for students to enjoy. Lifeguards will be on duty to monitor the swimming areas.
For a truly unique experience, thermal swimming offers a series of pools varying in temperature. While this are typically slightly more expensive, there is a wider range of facilities on offer, such as indoor pools, whirlpools and outdoor pools.
Exclusive to groups travelling to Zell am See, schools can enjoy the spectacle of a speciallyscheduled friendly ice hockey fixture featuring the local team - EK Zeller EisbĂŁren. An exhilarating experience, the fast-paced sport is a whirlwind of excitement.
Available at selected resorts, horse sleigh rides transport students around the countryside or town. Sleighs differ in size and fit between 5 and 15 people as students explore the resort from a different perspective.
Very popular in Austria, Germany and Switzerland, students will try out bowling using smaller balls with two finger holes or sometimes none, trying to knock all nine pins from their rope-hung positions.
Taking place at a local restaurant either as well as or instead of dinner, students tuck into their favourite pizzas as they relax after a day on the Austrian slopes.
There are two options for the ultimate end-of-trip party with HTS. Some hotels have rooms available to put on a private in-house disco and selected resorts have their own local discos which allows children aged 14-18, giving them the experience of an Austrian youth disco.
A traditional game using large stones, curling can be played at indoor rinks or outdoor sheets, depending on the size of the resort. Some hotels even feature their own natural curling areas at the rear of their accommodation.
A fun and fast-paced activity which see students slide down floodlit pistes on inflatable donuts. A great activity which engages students in races and plenty of laughter, they won’t want the evening to end!
Students strap into a single toboggan style cart and zoom down the rails of a hill-based course. This exhilarating rollercoaster experience certainly gets the blood pumping! Students can control their speed using handles and enjoy the ride at their own pace.
Take a trip to an idyllic outdoor ice rink for a night of skating under the stars. The perfect way to end an energetic day, students can enjoy the village vibes and festive spirit of your resort town. Groups travelling at Easter to larger resorts may have the option of an indoor ice rink.

The area continues to see annual investment to technology on the slopes, including over 1,000 snow cannons working to ensure your group is guaranteed snow on their trip. The ski schools within the Salzburger Sportwelt ski area have an excellent reputation for all levels of skier and snowboarder; in fact, students can develop their technique in the World Cup race venues of Zauchensee and Flachau! The well-planned lift system and links between the resorts ensure groups can maximise their skiing time and queuing is kept to a minimum.

bad kleinkirchheim
Bad Kleinkirchheim (BKK), along with the interlinked village of St Oswald, offers fantastic intermediate skiing and is home to wide, tree-lined runs, modern lifts and an efficient network of links. In recent years the region has invested in snowmaking facilities to supplement what Mother Nature provides, and with the combination of many north facing slopes, the area offers almost 100% snow coverage. BKK is home to a caring ski school that encourages beginners on their ski lessons and will quickly gain the confidence to move to the sunnier, wider runs of St Oswald. Whilst not the most challenging resort for advanced skiers, the Franz Klammer World Cup run is worth trying out, as well as the multitude of red runs throughout the resort, which are ideal for perfecting technique. Groups choosing BKK will be accommodated on Lake Millstatt which provides easy access to the ski area and the nearby towns of Seeboden and Millstatt have a good range of amenities, along with the town of Spittal a short drive away for even more. These nearby towns are often a more affordable choice for evening entertainment than BKK itself.

Home of Olympic Gold medallist Matthias Mayer, Gerlitzen is a great choice for beginner and intermediate groups. The ski area is accessed from Annenheim, and from the middle station sweeping pistes open out across the mountain, offering a wide range of skiing for all abilities. Those new to the snow can find their feet at the fantastic beginners’ area located at the middle station. When skiers venture further up the hill, they can take in breathtaking views over the Ossiacher Lake and the peaks that mark the border with Slovenia. HTS groups have the added advantage of ski storage on the mountain as well as a welcome hot lunch in a mountain restaurant to keep you going right up until the last run down. Ongoing investment in ski lift and snowmaking technology has seen a rise in Gerlitzen’s popularity, yet queuing remains a rare occurrence. You’ll find clearly marked, well-groomed runs and a collection of authentic mountain huts, restaurants and sunny terraces – ideal for soaking up the scenery and hot chocolate. Staying in Ossiach, you’re directly on the lake with all the necessary amenities nearby and just a short drive from the Gerlitzen mountain.

heiligenblut The delightful village of Heiligenblut nestles at the foot of the mighty Grossglockner – Austria’s highest mountain. Featuring all of the amenities every school group needs, the resort offers accommodation within easy walking distance from the lifts. Grossglockner, at almost 3800m, rubs shoulders with a range of neighbouring peaks and can be viewed from the ski area. Skiers can zip between Heiligenblut’s two interlinked mountains, which are supported by 50 snow cannons making up any shortfall of snow. With the nursery slope located near to the hotel in the village centre, complete beginners feel safe and secure trying out their snowplough turns. Groups soon progress to the confidence-building blue runs located on the two mountains of the Heiligenblut ski area, which are connected by a mountain tunnel. Well-groomed slopes are in abundance and it’s the variety of red runs – stretching over 40km – that really makes Heiligenblut a haven for intermediate skiers. The more experienced members of your group won’t find themselves short of a challenge or two either. A wide range of uncrowded, high-altitude slopes and an efficient lift system that minimises queuing time and maximises skiing time makes Heiligenblut a great late season choice for school ski groups. Heiligenblut is a reassuringly popular choice with Austrian school groups who come back year after year for convenient access to the slopes and the idyllic location. The village centre is home to a range of cafes and bars, and you’ll find a swimming pool within walking distance of the hotel. The resort is within the boundaries of the heart-stirring scenery of the Hohe Tauern National Park. Make time to take stock of your surroundings before descending your 20th red run.

Oberlungau is famous for its charming, unspoilt villages, enviable snow record and its three impressive ski areas – Katschberg, Grosseck-Speiereck and Fanningberg. These are served by a network of modern lifts and a wide range of open runs with good progression options. Replacing the chairlift in St. Michael with a gondola to the top station has improved the Speiereck experience. Groups keen to spread their wings can upgrade to the Lungo pass, which covers Oberlungau and Obertauern, an especially good option for Easter groups as it gives access to much higher slopes. Great snow cover, wide-open pistes and a wide range of red runs make the Katschberg popular with intermediate skiers. Rated one of the best in the Alps, the six-kilometre A1 slope, from the top of the Katschberg to St Margarethen, is one to set your sights on. Oberlungau’s ski schools take their high teaching standards seriously, which is reflected in the consistently high ratings they receive from our groups. Beginners tend to start on the nursery slopes in the villages of St. Michael or Mauterndorf, or they head for the uncrowded slopes of Fanningberg. Another option for accommodation is Gmünd, a historic walled town with architecture and alleyways dating back to the Middle Ages. Groups love the authentic, unspoilt atmosphere and the town’s good range of facilities. Just a few minutes from Gmünd, the peaceful villages of Rennweg and Malta offer some basic amenities. A little farther afield, you’ll find the scenic, historic settlements of Ramingstein and Mariapfarr. Mauterndorf, dominated by an impressive fortress, is often used in film sets. Many of its narrow, winding streets and brightly coloured buildings date back several centuries.

Access to the fortified town is via two town gates situated at both ends of the Hauptplatz (Main Square) and provides students with clear boundaries to explore the parade of small shops and delicatessens. The small town has still retained its medieval appearance lending its character to its former position as the centre of the guarded route for the merchants of Salzburg who would travel from Nuremburg to Venice. Along the main streets and off-shoot alleyways sit traditional workshops and galleries that provide students with an insight into the region’s history and culture. Gmünd is a historic town, providing school groups with a picturesque base from where students can enjoy the Oberlungau ski area.

Set 1,100m above sea level, the market square exudes a sense of wonder against the backdrop of Mauterndorf Castle. Now a living museum, the castle is steeped in its own history. Originally starting life as a toll castle, the archbishops of Salzburg made the castle their summer residence. Dominating the skyline of Mauterndorf, the castle leaves a lasting impression. The ski hire shop is conveniently located across the road from the JGH Mauser Muhltaler. It provides an efficient ski fit and some of the best equipment available to the school ski market.

Obertauern.
With a long winter season stretching from November to May and one of the leading interlinked ski areas in the Alps, Obertauern is a firm favourite with our groups. The Obertauern ski area ripples out from the resort centre, from which you can ski both clockwise and anticlockwise, making use of the carefully thought-out lift system and interlinking pistes. Great beginners’ areas are a short drive from our hotel and come with good snow cover all season long. After building up the basics, beginners can boost their confidence on wide-open pistes, which are equally popular with more experienced skiers. Expert skiers are by no means forgotten here. Those who like a challenge can test their nerve on the mogul runs of the Gamsleiten. For snowboarders, Obertauern’s snow park also comes highly recommended. Emerging as ‘one to watch’ in the 1960s, the resort of Obertauern has gone on to become one of the most popular in Austria, and is the closest Austria has to a purpose-built resort. Sitting at 1700m, it’s located at the top of the Radstädter Tauern pass road, which connects the Salzburger Sportwelt to Oberlungau. Thankfully the architects have maintained authentic Alpine features when designing the range of quality accommodation and first class amenities.

saalbach Hinterglemm leogang The charming village of Leogang, centred around the church, contrasts to the bustle of Saalbach Hinterglemm and is a quieter option from which to explore the one of the largest linked ski area in Austria. Recent investments in the lift system offer a network of modern transportation which takes skiers and snowboarders on either the Steinbergbahn or on the Asitzbahn gondolas in Leogang to the top of the Asitz mountain above the village. From here, the seemingly endless pistes of the Saalbach Hinterglemm ski circus can be explored and a variety of tree lined runs descend to the valley floor on both sides of the mountain. The excellent nursery slopes at valley level at the base of the Asitzbahn in Leogang are where beginners will gain their confidence. However, after a few days, most beginner groups have gained enough confidence to progress to the gentle blue runs at the top station. Since 2015/16, Saalbach Hinterglemm and Leogang have been linked to Fieberbrunn in the Tyrol to offer 270km of skiing to satisfy skiers of all abilities as well as enjoying international acclaim as a freeriders’ hotspot and snowboarders’ mecca. Off the slopes, there are a selection of shops, restaurants, cafes and bars in Leogang. In addition, most of our groups arrange an evening visit, at least once during their stay, to nearby Zell am See. Here the lively apres ski scene and excellent sports facilities can be enjoyed after a challenging and exciting day on the slopes.

st anton Known as ‘The cradle of Alpine skiing’, this legendary ski area enjoys high altitude and far-reaching snowmaking facilities, therefore offering snow-sure skiing that stretches well into spring. The area is now fully connected thanks to the new Flexenbahn cableway linking St Anton, Lech and Zurs, cementing it’s status as the largest linked area in Austria. While beginners build confidence and progress from the wide blue runs of the Galzig Mountain, intermediate skiers can cruise the long, varied red runs from the Kapall and Gampen, which offer up breathtaking scenery and challenging pistes in equal measure. The advanced skiers in the group won’t be disappointed, with the chance to tackle the steep black runs and mogul fields from Mattun and Schindler Kar, while the resort’s longest run - at 10 kilometres - begins at the top of the Valluga. Freestyle fans can make their way to the dedicated park on the Rendl Mountain – a great place to spend time for those of all abilities. With its level of world-renowned skiing, you might expect St Anton to have lost its traditional charm, but that’s certainly not the case. Its village atmosphere is very much alive and kicking with a well-deserved reputation for lively après-ski. St Anton itself delivers everything you’d want in a world-class skiing destination, from sports shops and boutiques to established après-ski bars and restaurants. The resort’s cosmopolitan atmosphere and range of entertainment really sets it apart. Landeck is home to the HTS accommodation, and is conveniently linked to St Anton by motorway and offers a good range of facilities, amenities and shops.

Groups choosing the region of Stubai will have four ski areas to choose from with their lift pass, comprising the Stubai Glacier, Schlick 2000, Elferlifte and Serlesbahnen. The Stubai Glacier holds pride of place as the country’s largest glacier, and the ski area covered by the Super Stubaital lift pass gives skiers freedom to explore 147km of piste. On the glacier, the majority of terrain is above 2,300m and the wider area boasts 70% snowmaking coverage ensuring great snow all season long. The area caters exceptionally well for those new to skiing with over half the slopes suitable for beginners, making the area a great choice for school groups. Those more confident on their ski legs can enjoy the reds and black slopes and the exciting 10km ‘Wilde Grube’ descent. A new addition in Stubai is the state of the art 3S Eisgratbahn lift, transporting over 3,000 skiers per hour from the base station to the Eisgrat mountain station in just 12 minutes. The village of Fulpmes is just one of a collection of resorts in the Stubai Valley. Its small centre is easily walkable from the hotels and offers shops, bars and restaurants. Groups also have the chance to go to Innsbruck for the evening and enjoy the Olympic ice rink or even an ice hockey match.

wildschönau In 2013, Auffach and Inneralpbach were linked allowing this excellent ski area to double its available skiable terrain and providing school groups with great value for money. Groups are drawn back year after year by the authentic Austrian atmosphere of Wildschönau. Traditional and unpretentious, all of the villages in the valley offer a genuinely warm welcome to their guests. Beginners find their ski legs on the village-level nursery slopes of Markbachjoch in Niederau or the fantastic beginners’ area by the middle station in Auffach. Before long your group will be raring to go on the gentle, sweeping blue and red runs from the top of the gondola in Niederau. For those with a bit more experience, a wide range of red runs can be found in Auffach providing the ideal playground for intermediates complete with a Snowpark in Schatzberg. You can access this area from the top station of the gondola or you can descend down to Inneralpbach following a red run down to the middle station. For decades, British schools have been coming back to idyllic Oberau, nestled in the heart of the valley. While Oberau is the largest village, you’ll find Auffach offers more of a challenge on the piste as well as the link to Inneralpbach. The Wildschönau valley and Wörgl have a range of good facilities on and off the piste, including bowling and swimming.

zell am see Sitting between the Hohe Tauern mountains and Lake Zell, the town of Zell am See presents school ski groups with plenty of options for evening entertainment. Providing the perfect mix of a historic town centre and après-ski activities, students will easily be occupied during their time off the slopes. Amongst the many activities on offer, schools can benefit from a town that features many of students’ firm favourites. Skittles at the Freizeitzentrum allows students to experience a variation of bowling with a two-lane alley giving schools a secure venue to enjoy some healthy competition. There is also the opportunity to enjoy an evening of swimming at the Freizeitzentrum where a large main pool provides students with plenty of space to enjoy a splash. A great location for schools to explore, the Freizeitzentrum is a gift that keeps on giving with ice skating also available on-site. The fantastic Tauern Spa is another popular evening entertainment option where groups can enjoy an after-ski thermal swim with spectacular views of the valley. Curling is also available in Zell am See allowing schools to maximise the number of winter sports on offer to students. Another unique option available to HTS groups sees students enjoy the exhilaration of watching a professional ice hockey match. Supporting the EK Zell am See ice hockey team, students can get to grips with the fast-paced sport that brings together exquisite skating skills, tactical nous and brute strength in an evening watching a friendly match-up organised for visiting school groups. Take time out away from evening entertainment to explore the town with your students. With the options of pizza nights at local pizzerias and ice cream evenings, there are opportunities to dive into some culinary delights.

extensive, snow-sure skiing over three areas The expansive Ziller Valley is made up of three extensive ski areas plus the Hintertux Glacier, providing plenty of snow-sure skiing for all abilities throughout the winter season. You’ll find our group-friendly accommodation at the northern end of the valley, which puts you in a convenient spot for entertaining your group long after the lifts have shut.
AT A GLANCE access to three vast interlinked ski areas 671km of piste making up some of the best skiing in the Alps
large number of runs suitable for intermediates a lift pass that also includes access to the Hintertux Glacier
Both Hart and Fügen are villages that lie just off the main valley road. For an ideal way to tire out your group before lights out, head to the vast, indoor swimming complex at Fügen. Many groups also like to venture further afield to Innsbruck for an evening in the Tirolean capital. After a short coach journey you’ll find yourselves amongst plenty of après-ski attractions. Radfeld may be outside the main Ziller Valley, but you still have good access to the ski area via the motorway.
