Affordable Austria
You’ll be surprised how affordable a wonderful winter vacation in
Austria really is. In most cases, it will be less than a trip to one of the
leading ski areas in the United States or Canada. Ski packages to Austria
are usually pretty comprehensive, and you pay one reasonable bottom-line
price for air fare, transfers, room, the chosen meal plan, taxes and even a
welcome party! Everyone has been comparing the Rockies with the Alps for
years. Both areas have fabulous skiing. But some skiers assumed the Alps
were not affordable. Judge for yourself!
Rates quoted here are high-season prices for arrangements in February.
Package include:
air fare (lowest available from and to the western US) & transfers between
airport and hotel
7 nights accommodation (double occupancy) at a first-class hotel, breakfasts
and dinners
a 6-day ski pass, basic gratuities and taxes (US International Departure Tax
and customs inspection fee for travel to Austria are not included)
Prices are based on exchange rate of 1 EURO = U$ 1.32. Rates are subject to
change.
