Ski Resorts with Short Transfer Times

The ski resort of Maria Alm in Austria forms one end of the Hochkonig ski area, with Hinterthal and Dienten in the middle and Mulbach at the far Eastern end of the ski system. Together these interlinked resorts offer 150 kilometres of piste which easily rivals the better-known Austrian ski resort...

Mayrhofen is a British favourite, with an excellent reputation for good ski schools and a varied après ski scene. For ski-in / ski-out convenience it is the wrong choice. However, once there, the skiing options are far, far greater than in most ski resorts, with the Zillertal full area lift pass ...

Obergurgl is situated in the spectacular Oetz Valley and is Austria's highest parish, resulting in excellent snow records and a very long skiing season.

The combined ski area of Serfaus, Fiss and Ladis (which is at the lowest and most easterly end of the ski system) makes for a sizable ski area with well over 200kms of pisted slopes and vast areas of largely untracked off piste. Yet these resorts which are hugely popular with German, Dutch and lo...

Solden is no beauty by Austrian ski resort standards but it more than makes up for this by being very lively (mostly German and Dutch revellers) and by also offering some good high altitude, snow sure skiing. The lifts are at either end of the slightly sprawling village but these are connected by...

Soll is a small, pretty but lively resort, linked to the extensive Ski-Welt area. Ski holidays in Soll suit beginners and intermediates best, however, the fact that the slopes are a bus ride away from resort, hinders its attraction to families. Söll is a pleasant, friendly village and is bypa...
