Kufstein

Kufstein is a charming town with a beautiful fortress and a lovely historic centre where you can tick off your first Apfelstrudel.

From Kufstein, it's only 10 kilometres by bus or taxi to the lively villages of Söll, Scheffau, and Ellmau, each offering you access to one of Austria's largest ski areas, Skiwelt Wilder Kaiser-Brixental, through their own ski lift. More than 250 kilometres of slopes are waiting for you.

Wörgl (Brixental and Zell am See)

In Wörgl, you transfer onto one of Austria's most beautiful train routes. The train slowly climbs up into the Brixental valley. Here, too, hundreds of kilometres of ski slopes are waiting for you.

That’s the big advantage of the night train – there’s almost a full day of skiing ahead of you. Especially if you get off at well-known places like Westendorf, Brixen im Thale, Kirchberg, Kitzbuhel, or Sankt Johann im Tirol. The stations are never more than a 15-minute walk or ski bus ride from the lifts.

But even if you've chosen Fieberbrunn, with access to the massive Skicircus Saalbach/Hinterglemm ski area, or if you're going all the way to Zell am See, you can still hit the slopes on the same day.

Jenbach - Zillertal

Everyone who arrives at Jenbach station knows that this is the main gateway to the world-famous and stunning Zillertal. The mountains here are just a bit higher, reaching up to 2,500 metres, and more rugged. At the end of the valley lies the mighty Hintertux Glacier, with a peak soaring beyond 3,000 metres.

The Zillertalbahn takes you comfortably deep into the Zillertal. In fact, you don’t need a car in the Zillertal at all. The ski bus network is seamlessly connected to the Zillertalbahn, quickly and frequently taking you to the three largest ski areas in the Zillertal: Hochzillertal, Zillertal Arena, and Zillertal 3000. With the Zillertal Super Ski Pass, public transport is even free to use.

Innsbruck

Capital of Tyrol. Innsbruck is uniquely located between the mountains in the heart of the Austrian Alps. Everywhere you look, you see the buildings of the beautiful old town nestled against majestic mountain walls.

The Stubaitalbahn takes you directly from the station past numerous charming Tyrolean villages with stunning mountain panoramas to the beautiful Stubai Valley (make sure to sit on the left side for the best views!).

And if the snow happens to disappoint, there’s a bus every 30 minutes to the Stubai Glacier. Austria’s largest glacier ski area. Guaranteed snow with the best slope conditions you could wish for.

Südtirol

Austria meets Italy in the Alto Adige region, or Südtirol. Here, the sun shines just a little more generously than in Austria.

Bressanone, or Brixen for German speakers, is a charming town with a beautiful historic centre. Bressanone also has its own ski area, Plose, where families can enjoy everything the Italian Alps have to offer.

Ponte Gardena/Waidbruck is at the foot of the world-famous Dolomiti ski paradise. With just one ski pass, 1,200 kilometres of ski slopes are waiting for you, set against the most stunning mountain backdrop imaginable – the Dolomites.

Bolzano/Bozen is the last stop in Südtirol. A lovely Italian town nestled between towering mountains. When the sun is shining, the terraces are full, even in February or March. The Mediterranean climate is already palpable here, even though you're still in the heart of the Alps.
