List of ski areas in Austria information


These are tables of ski resorts in Austria, sorted by province.

As a country dominated by the Alps, Austria offers many opportunities for alpine skiing. Alpine skiing is a major driver of tourism in Austria, and therefore an important economic factor.

In particular, the provinces of Vorarlberg, Tyrol and Salzburg offer one or more ski resorts in almost every Alpine valley, equipped with numerous lifts (cable cars, chair lifts, T-bar lifts). The large ski areas in the Austrian Alps have 50 or more different lifts and sometimes more than 100 km of groomed slopes. However, these are often not connected and can only be reached by bus. The Ski amadé network in the province of Salzburg, for example, has 860 kilometres of pistes and 270 lifts, but they are spread over 25 villages in an area of several hundred square kilometres.

However, there are also many ski resorts in the eastern provinces. The smallest of these often have only one or two T-bar lifts and a few hundred metres of pistes.

Ski resorts are often combined with other winter sports facilities, such as cross-country trails, toboggan runs or thermal spas.

There are also some glacier ski resorts in Austria, which essentially offer year-round winter sports regardless of snow conditions.

Some of Austria's ski resorts repeatedly host World Cup races.
