Let us unveil the beauties of magnificent Austria together. Dreamy ski and tobogganing circuits, white peaks and the rush of snowboarding on glaciers all throughout the year...All tourists can relax and unwind in Austria, the skiers' Nirvana. Inexperienced or pros, all people are guaranteed to have fun.

There are numerous branches of winter sports, other than skiing and snowboarding, that can have your heart beat faster. If you wish to know winter in this country to its fullest potential, then don't forget about the winter parks which are quite lovely, possibly the best points for using a snowkite or jumping off platforms which are found on the Austrian mountains.

In Tyrol Austria you will stumble upon one of the best snow parks in Europe: in order to create the impressive Vans Penken Park, they were forced to work on a whole ski slope in the Mayrhofen region. Many facilities that are meant to bring joy to all kinds of skiers and freestylers, 3 distinct lines, a halfpipe and many other characteristics make Mayrhofen the place to be for "X-tremers" from all continents, breaking new boundaries in terms of winter sports. Freestyle initiates can also feel at ease in the Vans Penken Park, because you can also find a Kids Park in the vicinity. On a track with eight obstacles, novices can build up sufficient experience (after some time, obviously) to go to the advanced zone. Mayrhofen also offers guests a fine photo service. You can get a good photographer to take photographs of you while jumping in the air with your snowboard, or while you do speed-skiing, or anything you wish.

And spring in the Tyrol mountains is probably the best time frame for winter sports in this country, because the cold winter temperatures become a thing of the past, and the sun warms the mountains up more and more often. The sky is so blue it almost looks like it was hand crafted by a famous artist. Skiers unwind on the long chairs on the terraces of the local restaurants and have a coup of coffee, then they proceed to the tracks with more excitement until nightfall. And these guys and girls can benefit from interesting offers in the spring of 2010, particularly if they go to resorts in the Kitzbuheler Alps. Between March and April they run a pay 3, stay 4 campaign, also throwing in free ski lift tickets for several days.

To get to the bottom line, skiing in Austria can be quite a cool experience, mainly thanks to the amazing Alps, but also due to the fact that the Austrians know very well how to take care of their tourists, providing them with the best conditions.
