A Luxury Skiing Trip To Austria Is Well Within Reach

With the Mumbai ‘ winter’ officially at an end and the temperatures (and mosquito populations) climbing daily, perhaps it’s time to start planning your escape to a cooler clime. The knee-jerk reaction for most people is to head to the hills, but this year why not explore something further afield and hit the slopes while you’re at it with a luxurious getaway to an Austrian ski resort.

This magical experience is being curated by Plush Places, a travel and experiences company that focuses on learning new skills and expanding one’s interest while visiting exotic destinations around the world. In keeping with that ethos, they’ve forgone the typical ski destinations like Switzerland and France in favour of the more exclusive and elusive destination.

Most people who have made their way through the country tend to follow the Vienna-Salzburg route but this time they hope to showcase a little bit more of Austria’s natural beauty in the Alpine towns of Zellam See and Kaprun. There’s plenty to do between ski sessions here, whether it’s relaxing at a Finnish spa, checking out the apres ski bars or exploring the cultural heritage of the town. Though meals are taken care of on the first and last days, you’ll definitely want to sample some of the local eateries in the area. Plush Places has already scoped out the best restaurants in the area so they’ll point you in the direction of some mouthwatering traditional fare. And for those who haven’t visited Salzburg, they have the chance to do so before or after the trip as it is just an hour away by train.

The access to winter sports is one that India by meteorological nature has been deprived of, but even so it’s picking up among the public and for people who have been waiting to try their hand at it, this is the perfect opportunity. Not only are all your transfers, four-star accommodation, skiing and snowboarding training and gear for both taken care of, but because it’s set to be a small group of like-minded people, even off the slopes you’re sure to be having a blast.

So if the daunting planning process has been putting you off your ski trip, here’s one where all you have to do is show up. With world-class instructors, indulge in the rare opportunity to ski the Kitzsteinhorn glacier - the highest point in the region - and admire the breathtaking views from 3,000 feet. Perfect for both beginners and experts, this trip is a flawless combination of luxury and adventure, and an opportunity that you won’t want to miss!
