Austria is a wonderful place to learn to ski. The gentle slopes of its traditional villages are a flattering place to start and facilities are first class. This is the birthplace of skiing,  and the ski schools are some of the oldest and most famous in the world.  Best of all, it is great value for money, the scenery is beautiful and there is plenty to enjoy off the slopes if you need to take a rest!
