Packages to Austria
     
Ski Holidays in Austria - A number of
key elements determine the cost of a winter
vacation: transportation (usually air plus
transfer), accommodation, meals, lift
ticket, local taxes and tips, and, for many
skiers, equipment rental and ski
instruction. It takes careful unwrapping of
the package to find that an American package
just doesn't contain the same things a
European package does.
For someone on or close to the East Coast, a
trip to an Austrian ski resort could be
between US$ 100 and US$ 300 less than a trip
in a Western ski resort. With lift tickets,
transfers, food, taxes and tips factored in,
a skier who lives on the West Coast will
find that a one-week ski vacation in Austria
costs about the same as an equivalent ski
trip to a resort in the Rockies.
Austrian mountain resorts not only meet the
best standards in the U.S., but often exceed
them in value and service. Most of the four-
or five-star hotels in Austria have their
own spa facilities. As is the Austrian way,
service and gratuities are always included.
You can ski right into the village, and the
lifts are usually within easy walking
distance to your hotel. Beautiful,
picturesque hotels, with fluffy down
comforters and cozy rooms, await you. Along
with a hot spicy 'Gluehwein' or 'Schnaps,'
of course!
