Austria is found in Central
Europe
and most of the country lies in the Alpine mountains. This makes
Austria one of the most popular winter ski
Destinations in
Europe. Austria borders on the popular mountain country of
Switzerland in the east,
Italy
in the South and
Germany
to the North, the perfect country to pass through on your European
holiday.
If you enjoy skiing, snow-boarding, hiking our mountain biking, the
Alps in Austria provide countless opportunities to experience some
of the best destinations for these kinds of sports. The mountains
are high, and in winter there is excellent snow.
Tourism is a major industry in this beautiful country, thus its
easy to find accommodation that suits any travellers needs.
Although the public transport system is superb in Austria (as in
the whole of Europe), your own transport can make your travels much
more convenient when wanting to visit remote villages in the
mountains. So go out there, hire a car and head to the Alps. The
Austrian slopes are waiting for you to lay your tracks across the
serene landscape.
