Posted: Mar 16, 2010 |Comments: 0 |

Let's begin to unveil the wonders of magnificent Austria together. Outstanding tobogganing and snowboarding slopes, white peaks and the rush of snowboarding on glaciers all throughout the year...Everyone can enjoy their holidays and recover their energies in Austria, the ski paradise. Beginners or experienced, all people are sure to have fun.

There are various branches of winter activities, other than skiing and snowboarding, that can really make you feel alive. If you want to know winter in this country to its fullest potential, then don't forget about the snow parks which are full of diversity, in all likelihood the best places for snowkiting or panoramic jumping platforms, situated on the highest peaks of the Austrian Alps.

In the Tyrol region you can discover one of the biggest fun winter parks in Europe: in order to build the sensational Vans Penken Park, they had to modify a whole ski slope in Mayrhofen. Numerous facilities that are there to bring joy to all types of skiers and "X-treme" sports lovers, 3 single lines, a halfpipe and many other features make Mayrhofen the Mecca  for freestylers from all corners of the world, breaking new boundaries in terms of sporting performances. Freestyle beginners can also feel at ease in the Vans Penken Park, as there also is a Kids Park in the vicinity. On a track with eight obstacles, beginners can acquire decent experience (after a while, of course) to go to the experts' tracks. Mayrhofen also provides clients with a fine photo service. You can pay a good photographer to take photographs of you while jumping off a platform, or speed-skiing, or anything you wish.

And spring in the Tyrol region is probably the best time frame for winter sports in Austria, because the freezing winter temperatures go up a notch, and the sun is seen more and more often. The sky is so blue it almost looks like it was colored by a famous artist. Tourists sit on the long chairs on the terraces of the alpine restaurants and drink a pint of beer, only to proceed to the ski runs with more enthusiasm until the sun goes down. And all people who come here can benefit from interesting offers in the spring of 2010, mainly if they book rooms at resorts in the Kitzbuhel region. Between March and April they run a pay 3, stay 4 campaign, and they also throw in free ski lift tickets for the first three days.

All in all, skiing in Austria can be a very cool experience, mainly thanks to the amazing Austrian Alps, but also due to the fact that the Austrians know very well how to make their tourists have a great holiday, providing them with the best conditions.
