But for the mecca of off-piste Austria skiing head to St. Anton.  This resort definitely appeals to thrill-seekers and in the evening it is positively thumping with après-ski activity.  A resort that almost equals St. Anton for boisterous behaviour is that of Mayrhofen in the Ziller Valley.  Popular with young skiers it also offers the opportunity to indulge in glacier skiing on the impressive Hintertux Glacier.

For those looking for a spot of early Austria Ski action, the high-altitude charming resort at Obergurgl is ideal. This perennial favourite has recently undergone major renovations and offers a superb ski experience for all classes of skier.
