Winter in Austria

In the winter time Austria becomes a wonderland. Plan your visit to Austria between December and the end of March and enjoy rolling snow covered hills dotted with picturesque buildings and hit the slopes at one of Austria's world famous ski resorts.  Reserve a [car hire in Austria][39] to enjoy all this winter wonderland has to offer.

The winter ski resorts in Austria are second perhaps only to Switzerland in Europe.  They are known for their cozy feel, as opposed to the more commercial mega-resorts found in Switzerland and France. Austria's ski resorts also tend to be a little cheaper.  Austria is also home to many of the high Alps glacier skiing resorts. Make your way around the snowy resort roads in the winter with a [4x4 car rental  in Austria][39].

Austria is an excellent place to go to learn how to ski. Their ski and snowboard instructors are regulated and licensed by the government. You can take courses privately or in groups. If you are a beginner it is a good idea to book a ski school for your first week.

Another fun activity in the snow in Austria is to rent a small wooden sled and go tobogganing in the hills. This is something you can do on your own, hiking up small hills near your resort and sledding down, or in some villages they have a chair lift to take you to the top of a mountain where you can ride down.
