Austrian Skiing simply the best
In our opinion (and we’ve skied just about everywhere), Austria delivers the best all-round ski experience in the Alps. Resorts are constantly upgrading, with new lifts, pristine pistes, and top-tier snowmaking facilities.

Piste management is second to none, prices are among the best value in Europe, and the warm welcome? Guaranteed. Ready to experience it for yourself?
The Ski Juwel - Kitzbuhler Alps and beyond

We connect guests to some of the best skiing in the Austrian Tirol through our guiding program including the Kitzbuhler Alps offering unparalleled uplift, over 1000km of piste and a myriad of mountain bars and restaurants.

 

The SkiJewel linking Niederau, Oberau and Auffach is an integral part of this vast network. Niederau is ideal for beginners and families with gentle nursery slopes, wide blue runs and more challenging red and black runs leading back to the village. Nearby Auffach and Alpbach boast 130km of piste and 45 lifts.

 

Close to the Staffler, Hopfgarten and the SkiWelt offer direct access to Kitzbuhel, Jochberg, Pass Thurn and Mittersill

Staffler guiding - more mountain and less hassle
Complimentary daily guiding is available to all the resorts mentioned above. We head higher if conditions dictate. You’ll need the SuperSkiCard to guide. It’s about skiing without the hassle.  It’s not ski school. Entry level is usually an ability to ski red runs with confidence and ease.
​

Expect:
 

  • Transport to and from resorts

  • Groups of similar ability

  • Caring and understanding guides happy to chat

  • Scenic refreshment stops

  • Relaxed table-service lunches

  • To pay for your guides lunch and daytime refreshments



Note: This is not a ski school. Participants must be comfortable on blue and red runs.
