France has been the most popular skiing nation for Brits for ages but rumour has it that Austria might take the lead this year. Lower prices, excellent infrastructure and amazing après ski might have something to do with it… Whether you’ve never been or want inspiration for a return trip, here are four deals in our favourite Austrian snowboarding resorts. 

St Anton

Awesome resort for: on slope après, freeride, long and wide pistes.

Stay: Hotel Post is home to the popular Piccadilly pub and facilities include an indoor pool and jacuzzi, so you’re never short of things to do off the slopes.

Half Board stay arriving 11th January for £1,184pp - 2 for 1 snowboard hire offer included.  

Solden

Awesome resort for: crazy apres, tree runs and off piste

Stay: The modern and minimalist Die Berge Lifestyle Hotel might be best known for its SKY SPA – a penthouse infinity pool with saunas and indoor and outdoor relaxation areas. The food gets great feedback too. 

B&B stay arriving on 18th January for £852pp.

Ischgl

Awesome resort for: wide groomers, nightlife, beginners

Stay: Mixing Austrian charm with contemporary comfort on the main road in Ischgl, Hotel Albona is a 4-star property popular for its warm welcome and excellent wellness facilities.

Saalbach - Hinterglemm

Awesome resort for: freeriding, beginners, plenty of pistes

Stay: Sporthotel Berger brings eclectic retro vibes to the slopes of Saalbach and we’re digging it. The décor here – kitsch as can be – is as energetic as the parties. The hotel has an après ski bar, entertainment (often Elvis related…) and an underground club specialising in on-table dance parties. 

Half Board stay starting on 4th January for £771pp.
