Austria - Premium class in the world of ski rest. And it is not surprising: shoot cream with legendary alpine meadows Not only emerald summer, but also frosty snowy in winter, residents of Austrian Tyrol and Salzburg thought before all in the world - more than 100 years ago. The first competitions in the high-speed descent took place in the Austrian Alps in 1904, in 1922 the first ski school was opened, in 1928 - the first lift and, in fact, the ski tourist business as a whole was launched.
In the century, hardworking, neat, stubborn Austrians managed to build a real snowy empire on the slopes of the native Alps, which includes more than 800 ski resorts and about 50 zones of skiing, almost 20% of which work all year round.
For today, Austria is the leader in receiving skiers and snowboarders. Through the short flight, perfectly equipped a variety of slopes - both for children and beginners and for harsh oil riding, a wide range of housing - from 5-star hotels to more than budget apartments, which can be removed "to exploit", the best apre-ski in the world - All this attracts the Austrian slopes of the Alps tens of thousands of "armed" by skiing and snowboards of tourists annually.
