If you don’t have time for a long winter holiday but desperately need to dust off your skis, I have great news for you. Lower Austria offers fantastic skiing<\/strong> just a few hours’ drive from international borders and is the ideal choice for spontaneous trips. The entire region boasts a total of 177 kilometers of slopes and 77 lifts<\/strong>, which is more than enough to cure your skiing withdrawal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The biggest draw of these resorts is undoubtedly their accessibility<\/strong>, as you can reach them faster than many major mountain destinations across Europe. While getting to the big Alpine resorts often takes a whole day, here you can leave early in the morning and be standing on the slope by nine o’clock<\/strong>. Among the most popular resorts are Hochkar, Semmering, and \u00d6tscher-Lackenhof.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even though these are smaller resorts, they definitely have plenty to offer<\/strong>, even for very demanding skiers. You’ll find everything from modern lifts to fantastic night skiing, which at Semmering is actually the largest in all of Europe<\/strong>. Let’s take a look together at how to plan the perfect day trip or weekend ski getaway just across the border.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
