Skiing in Austria

For the daring skiers amongst us, Austria has some great skiing and home to many exciting slopes. From the infamous Harakiri in Mayrhofen, Austria’s steepest ski slope, to the Streif in Kitzbühel, which hosts the annual Hahnenkamm World Cup ski race. Obergurgl, also known as the ‘Diamond of the Alps’, is famed for its reliably spectacular snow and range of intermediate ski runs (as well as plenty for beginners), including the tricky Hohe Mut.
