Hi everyone,
We’re a family of two with a 22 year old daughter. We are all advanced and passionate skiers. We live in Australia.
We’re considering skiing in Tyrol Austria for around 14 days next January 2026 (around 10-24 January).
We’re considering one of these below ski resorts with relatively long intermediate ski runs.
Do you have any recommendations about resort quality, affordable accommodation, supermarket shopping etc. We’d like to stay in a self-caterered apartment with a kitchen and possibly two bedrooms. Is it more logical to book on a weekly basis Sat-Sat? Also should we purchase the ski lifts earlier?
• St. Anton/St. Christoph/Stuben/Lech/Zürs/Warth/Schröcken – Ski Arlberg 140km intermediate ski runs
• Serfaus-Fiss-Ladis 112km intermediate ski runs
• Ischgl/Samnaun – Silvretta 120km intermediate ski runs
• Obergurgl (smaller but it was recommended so I've added to the list).
We have accommodation in Innsburg and can break the skiing trip by half. One week of skiing maybe few days of Innsburg and then skiing again. Is this a good idea?
Or we can do 1 week in one resort and one week in another.
Looking forward to your suggestions.
Kind regards,
Minehatun

well, they are all West of Innsbruck, so would be dumb to put Innsbruck trip in the middle.
Would make sense if you wanted to do one West trip & 1 East trip like Zillertal ski area that includes Mayrhofen or a bit further like Kitzbuhel.
Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

@minehatun, for intermediate long runs maybe Ischgl or Serfaus/Fiss/Ladis best suited. St. Anton tends to be a bit more steep.
Innsbruck is a nice place. Well worth a visit. As has been (impolitely) said it would make sense to try somewhere like Kitzbühel or Mayrhofen for the second week...
@minehatun, Innsbruck is a perfectly nice place but if you are keen skiers then not sure worth losing a few days in city sightseeing. Accommodation is likely to be expensive so start looking as soon as possible, look at the resort tourist office for apartments AirBnB etc is less popular in Austria. Saturday to Saturday is probably easier to find though shorter periods are becoming more common, always worth asking the advice of the various tourist offices (they all speak perfect English). In general no benefit in pre buying passes (though surge pricing is beginning to appear in a few places), There are some area passes available eg Snow Card Tirol but unlikely to be worthwhile for a two week visit (they are aimed at locals for a season).
Personally I would look at spending a week in one place and a week somewhere else with maybe a night in Innsbruck in between. Also bear in mind that if you are in the mountains for two weeks (especially in January) there is a very high possibility that you will have at least one bad weather day which might be better spent looking around Innsbruck than dealing with a white out / storm.
Everyone will have their own favourite spots, my suggestions would be a week in St Anton (or nearby Pettneu if looking for cheaper accommodation). The Arlberg is the best ski area in Austria, often with the best snow. It can be crowded (less so in mid January) and expensive and is best suited for those who want a bit of a challenge (dont have to be an "expert"). If you are coming from the other side of the world then it is the obvious spot to go to (if you look at the Arlberg thread I have posted a bunch of pictures which will give you an idea). For the other week I would go to Zillertal / Mayrhofen. This has a variety of skiing along the valley, including a glacier (unlikely to be a nice place in January) and a slightly different style of skiing to the Arlberg. Both are very easy by train (easy day trips to Innsbruck) and easy transfers from either Zürich or Munich.
Other spots include Ischgl, large area, well known for apres, can ski into Switzerland but might not be so good for self catering. Serfaus etc, perfect for families, less well known with English speaking folk. Kitzbühel, nice old town, when the snow is good has nice skiing but snow record not as good as areas above, check out when the Hahnenkamm ski race is on as this restricts accommodation availability. I would concur that Obergurgl might be a bit small for keen skiers for a week, it is linked to Sölden by shuttle bus but even so not sure it is what you are after. Kitzbühel is easy by train the others involve road transfers of varying lengths.
Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

If you have 2 weeks' skiing, and are flying into Innsbruck, have you considered one of those weeks being in the Dolomites? If you're coming all the way from Aus, it would be high on my hit list of places to ski...

Personally, if I was doing the sightseeing bit, I would pick Salzburg. Innsbruck is great but Salzburg is better.
Agree with Kitzbuhel or Dollies, dont really know Ziller valley as only time skiing there I tore my calf muscle. I liked Zillertal arena though - quite varied.

I think the snow would be ok in Kitzbühel unless you're very unlucky. The Kitzbühel races are 23-25 January next year and they make accommodation really tricky. I like it as a ski area, plenty for intermediates but if you want good, long runs you'll be skiing down to the valley and coming back up (which means you'll hit the worst of the snow)
Mayrhofen is a good area especially if you've got a car and can travel between the various resorts, plenty to keep you occupied.in my experience , Prices are a little lower here than say Kitz (which is a bit punchy). Like Kitz it's a short travel from Innsbruck.
St Anton is hugely popular and a big, varied area but does have a reputation as being pretty challenging. I've only been once and that was a short visit, others here have more knowledge.
Ischgl is good, I'd say the blue run options are a bit limited so you'd want to be confident red run skiers. We had a slightly disappointing experience with the ski school but we might have been unlucky.
Obergurgl is lovely but is pretty small. We did it as holiday when my son first started skiing, I think a family of intermediates would get bored after a couple of days. As you're going in January, hopefully, you won't need the altitude that Gurgl is famed for.
The Dolemites are definitely worth considering, they're amazing to look at and the food and skiing is different to the Tirol, I'd suggest.
You'll get to see more forums and be part of the best ski club on the net.

Oh and as others have said, Ischgl (and Obergurgl) aren't overflowing with Self Catering. I found the Zillertal to have more options.
I think a day or two in Innsbruck is a nice idea but obviously you'll find it easier to get accommodation that runs Saturday to Saturday.

What about the Ski Circus of Saalbach Hinterglemm Leogang Fiberbrun, and including Zell am Zee? It's worth getting in touch with Tatmanstours about getting an apartment, and plenty of advice. Check out the thread here:
Thanks everyone,
Firstly, it makes sense indeed to either spend the whole two weeks west of Innsburg or break it with a day in Innsburg and then east to Kitz or Mayrhofen or Zillertal. We’ll limit our sightseeing to the minimum, as skiing is the priority here!
We won’t be flying to Innsburg. Maybe to Munich, Salzburg or Zurich. Our base will be Istanbul and there are frequent flghts to all the major cities, Innsburg isn’t one of them.
We also could fly to Salzburg, ski in Kitz then head to Innsburg for a day or two and St Anton or Ischgl for 10 days. And then fly back from Zurich.
Thank you for Dolomites suggestion. My initial idea was the Dolomites, only to notice the prices were quite high there too. That’s why we started considering Austria with a free accommodation stopover in Innsburg.
Alternatively we could do an all up 3 week (2 weeks skiing) trip starting from Bologna, 10 day skiing in Dolomites then to Innsburg with a few day trips to Kitz or nearby ski resorts.
In that case I’d be comparing Dolomites with St Anton. Do you have any thoughts on ski runs and affordability and even food?
Sorry I’m not too specific at this point.
Re accommodation: We would like to go with free cancellation accommodations because we live so far, things can change until then. Have not booked our overseas flights yet etc. I stuggled to find accommodation with free cancellation in Dolomites.
And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

@minehatun, my advice would be to make sure you're using "Innsbruck" and not "Innsburg" in your searches. I don't know if such a place exists, but it isn't around here!
You can find threads about all of the above mentioned resorts in the Snow reports section of the forum: https://snowheads.com/ski-forum/snow_reports.php , though I'm sure @munich_irish can find you the photos he mentioned.

@minehatun, over the season I have posted a number of images eg https://snowheads.com/ski-forum/viewtopic.php?t=169280&start=920 you will have to plod through the thread to find them (from mid January onwards). Yes Innsbruck! Not many flights into Innsbruck so unlikely to be able to fly there. Salzburg works well though not many scheduled airline flights, Munich lots of flights as major airport but not such good connections unless hiring a car, Zürich ideal for western Austria (St Anton & Ischgl). You might find Vienna airport OK direct trains express trains stopping at Salzburg and then along to Innsbruck, allows some sightseeing out of the window on the way. Would be surprised if much difference in costs between Südtirol (Dolomites) and places like St Anton & Kitzbühel. For a lot of the Südtirol Innsbruck is a better access point than most Italian cities.

Have you considered skiing in Turkey seeing as you're coming in to Istanbul?
2 hr flight and 30 min transfer from Istanbul puts you in the city of Kayseri or slopeside at Erciyes Ski Resort
105km of pisted terrain
Modern lift systems
Excellent value for money
Kayseri is a great city full of history
Cappadocia is 1hr away

How do you feel about buses/trains (or having a hire car)?
In your situation you could do a lot worse that booking accomodation somewhere like Landeck and commuting to the resort each day - and Landeck's well placed to access both St Anton and the resorts up the Paznaun valley (See/Kappl/Ischgl/Galtur) so you have a number of different areas to ski over the 2 weeks without having to 'move house'. Oh, and rather than paying around A$10,000 you'd be looking at more around A$5,000.
Public transport in Austria is very good, with regular buses up the Paznaun valley during the day that take about an hour Landeck/Ischgl (last bus just after 19:00 so time to enjoy apres ski if not dinner) and the train from Landeck to St Anton. Or if you want to enjoy dinner in resort go for a hire car with multiple drivers and take it in turns to be drinker vs. driver.
Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

I expect that hotel prices are similar in the Dolomites to Tirol (and there are some very nice hotels in the Dolomites), but one thing that is noticeably cheaper is food and drink on the mountain. I was in the Kronplatz/Pustertal region in September, and the food and especially wine was about 25-30% cheaper than Innsbruck, which is itself considerably cheaper than the Arlberg.
We also had a pass from the hotel for free public transport in all of South Tyrol – I don't know if this is also available in winter, but it might be worth checking out. To that part of the Dolomites, the drive from Innsbruck is only 1.5hr.

I think this is a great idea, although we'd like to stay near the snow, I'm finding the accommodation very expensive. We'll look into Landneck as a base for a 2 week ski trip.
Thanks you

Thanks Mike,
we've skied in most places in Turkey, we'd like to explore a country and ski resort we have not seen before next year. Especially since we're coming from down under, this is a rare opportunity for us.
Scarlet, thanks for clarification; it's indeed Insbruck.
Mjit, I think it's a very good idea to use Landeck as our base for a 2 week ski trip. Althogh we'd like to stay in the snow in a large resort, the accommodation looks very steep.
We could hire a car and drive to St Anton and Ischgl and Serfaus. Not sure how the road conditions are between Landeck and the mentioned resorts. Looks like around 25mins but hard to know if it's an easy drive?!
These are the ideas we're thinking at the moment:
Fly to Salzburg or Munich, Innsbruck visit small ski resorts around Innsbruck 1-2 days with our friend and then head to either St Anton or Ischgl for about 10 days, commute to Zurich to fly back.
Fly to Zurich, head to St Anton or Ischgl (14 days) maybe staying in Landeck; then to Innsbruck and Salzburg and fly back to Istanbul
Fly Zurich/ St Anton or Ischgl (7 days), break the skiing by half rest in Innsbruck then drive/commute to Dolomites for 7 days of skiing. Then back to Istanbul from Italy. This could be a bit ambitious.
Any thoughts?!
@minehatun, driving around Austria is generally really easy.
Most of the roads you'd drive on from Landeck to the resorts you mention you don't go to any particularly high elevations, so it shouldn't a problem.

No problem. Great to hear you've enjoyed Turkey.
All the best with your search.
This would be my choice

When we go to Canada for two weeks we don’t ski the weekend in the middle. Allows the legs to rest for more enthusiasm in week 2 and avoids the busy Saturday on the slopes.

@minehatun, There are cheaper accommodation options available in the St Anton area, though they get booked up very quickly often by returning guests. There are still a number of the traditional small Pension Garni (Bed & Breakfast) sometimes as low as €35 / person / night. Look on the tourist office website and enquire now for next January. There are also some nearby small villages linked by free ski bus to the lifts. If you stay in Flirsch or Schnann you really need a car as neither has many places to eat & drink but both have a good number of apartments, this suits those who are mostly happy to stay in and who arrive by car. Pettneu is a bit bigger with a number of bars & restaurants plus a small supermarket.
Innsbruck airport does not have many flights at all, mainly seasonal ones to places like London & Amsterdam. If you do end up in the Dolomites you might find it just as easy to drive to Vienna as anywhere else though Venice is not that far and probably has flights to Istanbul too.

I actually skied Erciyes a couple of years ago — and yep, it’s a surprisingly good time on a budget that barely dents your credit card.
Sure, English was a bit of a puzzle (Google Translate and frantic miming became my best ski buddies), but the people were incredibly warm and welcoming. If you’re used to European prices, the value here is like skiing in 2006 — we had a spotless, fully serviced penthouse apartment in central Kayseri for 40 Euros a night. I’ve paid more than that just for a hot chocolate and pastry in Switzerland.
We used Kayseri (8-9 hours drive from Istanbul) as our base and drove up daily — it’s not exactly “slopeside luxury,” but hey, you get used to it after day 2 (or so I told myself). Lift infrastructure? Solid. Not groundbreaking, but it gets the job done.
But fair warning: don’t come expecting dramatic Alpine vistas. The views are more “windswept Mars landscape” than “Sound of Music.” Still — fantastic snow, almost zero lift lines, and prices that make your wallet whisper “thank you.”
For context, I’ve skied in:
Georgia (Gudauri)
Gulmarg (India)
Shymbulak (Kazakhstan)
Erciyes (Turkey)
…and finally, this season: Europe — aka, where my ski soul got ruined forever
I now understand why people sell kidneys for a week in the Alps.
Sure, it’s 3x the cost of everywhere else I’ve been — but the infrastructure and views are 10x better.
Even Shymbulak, which I really liked (great ski school, decent lifts), feels like a cute hill next to the massive, majestic beasts of the Alps.
So yes — Erciyes is 100% worth considering, especially if you’re new to international skiing or on a budget.
Just know that after tasting the Alps, you may never be the same again. I know I’m not.

Great to read that.
Kayseri is definitely an option and makes the whole trip even cheaper. Lots of things to do and see in Kayseri. I like the city but can understand how many don't.
Different views but no less spectacular IMHO.
I've been to Erciyes three times now and each trip gets better as I learn more and more about the terrain and where the snow lands - and gets blown in to
Great lift-accessed off-piste and some unbelievable ski touring / hiking accessed terrain when the conditions are on.
And the fact that it's so quiet once you get above the first level of lifts is what makes it for me and my missus. Deserted slopes and no competition for the powder.
Add in the food & hospitality and Cappadocia into the mix and it's an excellent Winter holiday with skiing.
I've got skin in the game at Erciyes but hopefully been on here long enough for people to know that if they like the other places I've recommended they'll like Erciyes.
Happy hunting with the Magic Pass.

Totally agree, Mike — the views around Erciyes are stunning in their own quiet way.
Driving up toward that sleeping volcano under those endless Anatolian skies felt like being on a different planet. But I’ll admit — after spending time in places like Zermatt, Cortina, Grindelwald, and Ortisei, walking around after a ski day under the shadows of the Matterhorn, Sella Group, Eiger, and Monch just hits different. The Alps have a way of spoiling you for life.
That said, Erciyes holds a very special place in my heart.
One of my fondest memories is of my son and his ski instructor — neither spoke the other’s language, yet they somehow clicked instantly. Through gestures, goofy expressions, and a lot of patience, they started teaching each other their languages. And the highlight?
My son taught him a popular Hindi song
— Yamma Yamma — and the instructor spent the rest of the week trying to hum it while skiing down the slopes. Watching them sing (well, hum) and laugh together every day was absolute joy.
Moments like that stay with you. Erciyes may not have the Alpine postcard views, but it gave us memories we’ll cherish forever. And like you said — the warmth of the people, the hospitality, the food… it all adds up to a really unique winter experience. And at a third of the price of Austria!
So if you're just off somewhere snowy come back and post a snow report of your own and we'll all love you very much

Yep, the Austrians are usually good at keeping the roads open and certainly the one between Landeck and St Anton is one of the main east/west routes across Austria so we're not talking some narrow minor road.
An Austrian hire car in the winter will come with winter tyres which are good for even a couple of cm of snow. Beyond that you'd need chains but I would NOT hire those. A week's hire is usually the cost of buying a set of chains and statistically it's highly unlikely you'll need them.
1. If you need them on arrival day, well hire when you pick the car up or google where you can buy snow chains (not usually hard in alpine countries).
2. If you need them during the stay, well just take the bus/train those days - and if the bus and train aren't running the resorts are probably going to be closed due to avalanche risk anyway!
3. If you need them on return day, well you should see that sort of snowmagedon coming in the forecast and find somewhere to buy chains around Landeck or 'abort' a day or 2 early and head back to/grab a hotel in your airport city. Again the sort of snowfall that's going to require chains to get along the A16/A12 is going to close the resorts too so you're unlikely to miss any skiing and more to do in a city than a smaller town like Landeck or a closed ski resort.
