    5 Stars Super Skiing in Soll and Scheffau 29/01/2003
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages 2 good nursery slopes, several blue and red slopes

    Disadvantages Disadvantages some instructors were incapable of actually teaching!

    Not being a sporty type- in fact being a very feeble sportswoman- it was with much apprehension that I saved for a group skiing/snowboarding holiday in Soll, Austria. And I had the most fantastic time....read on you not so intrepid learner skiers... Resort: Soll (spelt with an umlaut over the O) Small town in a valley surrounded by mountains in Tyrol region of Austria. Ski garage (where boots and skis can be stored for approx 6 euros for week) and ski lifts are short walk from town (10 mins when wearing ski boots) and adjacent to nursery slopes. Several pubs with live bands and mulled wine for ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages great skiing, great ambience

    Disadvantages Disadvantages high season - high prices - crowds

    These days the skibuffs among you will watch the annual Hahnenkamm races in Kitzbühel, Austria´s prime World Cup racing event. Yes, and it´s "Kitz" (meaning kidgoat, Bühel standing for hill) which has been Austria´s pioneer skiing resort together with the Arlberg region (St.Anton, Lech and Zürs) for decades. While I write down my memories of 38 years of skiing the world´s top slalom skiers prepare for their first run on the "Ganslern". Friday´s event was the SuperG, yesterday the famous downhill race on the "Streif" took place – both won by Stephan Eberharter, deservedly leader in the overall ... more

    5 Stars Mayrhofen in Summer 17/09/2003
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Beautiful scenery, friendly locals, lots of activities

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None ?

    Not only is mayrhofen fab in the winter-or so i've heard-it's also perfect for a summer holiday destination, and should certainly not be dismissed because it's primarily known as a ski resort. for anyone who has ever been skiing or snowboarding in the tyrol region of austria, you will know what a wonderful place it is, complete with picturesque villages consisting of gruelling yet invigorating mountain walks, and delightfully quaint gift shops. when i visited mayrhofen with my boyfriend , it was the first time i had encountered such breathtaking scenery, and i was enchanted by the charming ... more

    5 Stars Kitzbuhel Great place to go 19/07/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Excellent veiws and their is loads to do either in Kitzbuel and via day trips.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Eating out can get expensive, I suggest going half board as this will keep the cost down.

    When you think of mountains in Austria if you think of them at all, on the whole most people think of skiing and winter sports. As I found out this year there is a lot more to the mountains than just snow and ski’s. For our holiday this year we went of to Kitsbuhel which was around one hour and half away from Salzburg and situated in what is known as the Tirol. Innsbruck is the capital of the Tirolean region and can be visited either by train if you wish to do itindependently or via your local rep. You can also visit the capital city of Austria which is Vienna as well as Venice and Munich ... more

    5 Stars Under A Mountain Fading Pink 03/01/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages beautiful, scenic, relaxing, peaceful

    Disadvantages Disadvantages a bit quiet if you are young, not much nightlife

    I visited the Austrian Tyrol three times, on consecutive years in the late 1980s, along with my Mother and a group from our area. It is probably the most beautiful country I have been to, although I am hugely fond of England and Wales too. Austria is such a lovely country, as it has something for everyone, from big cities to small villages. We stayed in a small place called Lermoos, which was very picturesque - a church, ice-cream parlour, few shops, hotels and a small nightclub which could only be called that with a big stretch of imagination ! Nightlife is not something the Tyrol excels in ... more

    5 Stars Holidaying in the Tyrol 13/10/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Great scenery in the summer

    Disadvantages Disadvantages A long way by coach

    I have recently been to Austria on holiday, as a regular traveller I have visited Austria on many occasions during the winter and the summer. During the winter the mountains are amazing and there is some great skiing to be done. But not many people visit Austria during the summer. If you are contemplating taken a summer break there are a number of places to visit and things you you must do while your there. First things first, Places to visit. Salzburg. This city is one place you must visit, it offers too many places of interest to mention, but one way to see all of theses is to take one of ... more
