The Austrians are an active lot and they have plenty of ski resorts to slide down and hike over in the summer. Some of the more popular ones include: St Anton am Arlberg, Lech, Zur, High Montafon, Kitzbuhel, Montafon Valley, and the Tyrol region.

The best time to enjoy Austria is somewhere between May and September, but outside July and August, as this is the busiest time when hotels fill to capacity and tourists abound. Skiers and snowboarders will want to venture here in the ski season which runs roughly from November to the end of March, while popular festivals and events take place year round.
