Winter in Carinthia, Austria
When going to Austria in winter the 
main goal generally is to go skiing or snowboarding. The winter begins on December 21, but the ski areas open much earlier. Most ski areas open late November, early December when it has snowed higher up in the mountains.
For young and old, beginners or advanced skiers, you can go anywhere in the ski areas of Austria. If you have not been on skis before, there are ski schools in every ski area, where you can learn the tricks of skiing. For those who do not ski, there is always something else to undertake. You can for example go snow-walking, cross-country, toboggan, sledge ride with horses or go for a walk. In Austria there are special hiking trails.
To go with children on ski holidays can sometimes be a challenge. But not to worry each ski area has child-friendly facilities such as private slopes and ski schools. Children are certainly very welcome in Austria and will enjoy everything around them.
If you want to enjoy the sun while skiing, you can go to the mountain huts. You can enjoy the sun while enjoying a coffee or hot chocolate with apple strudel. Of course, the mountain huts often have their own delicious specialties that are worth a try.
And for those who want a day of something completely different, you can wander around the villages or visit the larger cities. You can also go to a Wellness center and relax.
