Austria

HTS Total Ski offers the largest school ski trip programme to Austria with a dedicated overseas team based in Innsbruck. The most modern uplift in Europe, serving many extensive, interlinked ski areas, an easterly location, which ensures better snow conditions at any given height than in the western or southern Alps, a major investment in snow-making facilities (nowadays some 90-100% of pistes are covered by snow cannons), and the 5 best glacier ski areas in Europe, one of which is generally within 1 hour or less of our ski resorts, add up to the best possible guarantee of good snow.

Austria offers a consistently high standard of accommodation, excellent ski and snowboard equipment, the renowned teaching technique of the Austrian ski schools (HTS uses only fully-licensed Austrian National ski schools) and, as a result of the indigenous Alpine population, a superb entertainment and recreational infrastructure.

Add to this that indefinable charm, encapsulated in the virtually untranslatable word "Gemütlichkeit" (something like warm, friendly, cosy), and you have all the ingredients for the perfect ski school trip.
