Snowboarding
Snow-boarding is the country's main sport after skiing and you won’t be short of opportunities to try it out in Austria. Picturesque Kaprun is full of charm, well-kitted out for families and has excellent glacier slopes for both beginners and intermediates; you’ll find access to 130km of pistes in the area and some awesome terrain to explore. This area is great for cross-country skiing too, with a 12km circuit beginning in the village and joining the 200km Pinzgau Loipe.
Lively Solden and large Mayrhofen – set in the stunning steep Zillertal Valley – guarantee ideal snow-boarding conditions. With so many resorts offering high altitude and phenomenal terrain – such as Hochgurgl, Obergurgl, St Christoph and St Anton – you’ll really be spoilt for choice. With over 260km of pisted runs as well as chances for off-piste challenges, party-village St Anton is a popular choice and has plenty to keep even advanced boarders and skiers busy.
