Austria
Austria, the home of HTS, continues to prove our most popular destination and it’s easy to see why. Austria’s popularity with our groups is due to the extensive skiing available for all abilities, the most modern lift system in Europe, great snow record, access to some of the best glacier ski areas in Europe and the world famous teaching techniques of the Austrian ski schools.
Off the slopes, our accommodation options are just as impressive. Under contract we have the widest variety of accommodation of any British schools’ ski operator to Austria. This ranges from modern, well equipped youth hotels to traditional guest houses, family run pensions and even four star hotels. Austria’s infrastructure ensures that the evening entertainments and recreational facilities offered are second to none.
