For skiing aficionados looking for less crowded resorts, Austria can be an excellent option. Salzburg airport transfers are an excellent way to get there!
When one thinks of the main skiing destinations in the world, Austria is not one of the first to spring to mind. Though embraced by the Alps – arguably the mountain range for enjoying winter sports in Europe – the unassuming Central European country tends to get overshadowed by, and overlooked in favour of, high profile neighbours Switzerland and France.
Still, for skiers wanting to partake in their favourite hobby without putting up with large crowds, Austria is a more than valid option. Its pistes may not have the press of those in France, Switzerland or even Germany and Italy, but they offer more than enough excitement and challenges to please winter sports enthusiasts who do not necessarily enjoy large crowds.
What is best, many of these pistes – not only in Austria, but also in Slovenia, the Czech Republic and, indeed, Switzerland – are within driving distance of Salzburg airport. Winter sports fanatics arriving in Austria can easily request that their Salzburg airport transfers be made directly to any of these resorts. The lines below describe only a few of the many resorts that can be reached with relative ease from this major Austrian airport.
Close At Hand
Holidaymakers flying into Austria will be delighted to know that a handful of ski resorts are less than two hours' drive away, meaning that with the help of Salzburg airport transfers they can be hitting the slopes in next to no time. In fact, many of these resorts can be reached in less than half that time, constituting perfect options for less patient skiers and snowboarders.
Examples of these include Altenmarkt-Zauchensee, a mere 45 minutes away, as well as a number of others reachable in 60 to 75 minutes aboard Salzburg airport transfers. Those willing to travel a little further will also find a wealth of additional options located 90 to 120 minutes' drive from the airport, giving them even more variety and choice of slopes.
Further Afield
More adventurous visitors to Austria will be delighted to learn, however, that the choice of ski resorts their Salzburg airport transfers can drop them off at is not limited to Austria. As noted above, a slightly longer journey can take them into any of the adjacent countries, as well as to additional Austrian pistes located further afield. Without ever travelling more than a maximum of three hours, winter sports enthusiasts can double their options where ski resorts and pistes are concerned, ensuring that they are never left without a choice of where to indulge in their favourite hobby.
