Austria Ski Weekends & tailor-made Short Ski Breaks

Flights & Airport Transfers - Private and Shuttle

Salzburg, Innsbruck and Munich (Germany) are the main gateway airports for Austria. While Salzburg and Innsbruck generally offer the shortest transfer times, Munich often provides the widest choice of flight schedules—particularly later return flights, giving you the opportunity to enjoy an extra day's skiing before heading home.

As Austria specialists, we'll recommend the best combination of flights, airport and resort to help you make the most of your ski weekend or short break. You're welcome to book your own flights, or we can arrange them for you as part of your holiday.

Our airport transfers are primarily comfortable door-to-door private minibuses, ensuring a smooth and hassle-free journey. For larger groups, we can arrange private coach transfers, while shared shuttle transfers are also available on selected routes.

Austria Short Ski Breaks & Weekends: When’s the best time to go?

Timing can make all the difference when planning a short ski break. During peak holiday periods—particularly New Year and the February school holidays—most Austrian hotels operate on a Saturday-to-Saturday basis with little flexibility. For the greatest choice of resorts and hotels, better value and quieter slopes, we recommend travelling before Christmas, January through to early February, and from early March onwards.

It's also worth thinking beyond the traditional Thursday-to-Sunday ski weekend. Arriving on a Saturday or Sunday for 3 or 4 nights can often unlock lower prices, better hotel availability and a more relaxed skiing experience. The more flexible you can be with your travel dates, the more options we'll have to create the perfect short ski break for you.

Planning your Short Ski Break: Which Austrian resort is best?

Not every Austrian ski resort is equally suited to a short break. With over 25 years' experience, we know which resorts offer the best combination of convenient flights, short airport transfers, flexible hotel stays and excellent skiing.

For ski weekends and short breaks, we often recommend the Kitzbüheler Alps region - including Fieberbrunn, Kitzbühel, Kirchberg and St. Johann in Tirol — thanks to their varied skiing, flexible accommodation and short transfer times from both Salzburg and Innsbruck Airports.

From Salzburg, Zell am See and Kaprun also offer excellent short-break options, while Saalbach-Hinterglemm has a more limited choice of hotels offering shorter stays.

If you're flying into Innsbruck, Mayrhofen, Kühtai, Stubai, Galtür, Ischgl, Obergurgl and St. Anton are all within easy reach. As a general rule though, the larger and more prestigious the resort, the less flexibility there tends to be for short stays. We'll always recommend the best resort and hotel to suit your travel dates, budget and skiing plans.
