More about Sean Newsom

If you are planning a skiing or snowboarding holiday, there are few better places to consider than Austria.

Skiing is one of the most popular sports in that country and Innsbruck has twice hosted the Olympic Winter Games. Unlike some other countries, the Austrian Alps are well inhabited, so rather than create new and artificial skiing resorts, existing towns have shifted to skiing tourism.

Austrian skiing areas are very well organized and many valleys are connected to one another. You may well find yourself skiing in one valley in the morning and a totally different one in the afternoon. The snowboard-friendly environment allows boarders the use of all lifts and tracks.
