Accommodations right on the slopes in Austria: The most beautiful Ski-In/Ski-Out Hotels & Chalets
Put on your ski boots, open the door, and hit the slopes—then head straight back to your warm apartment in the evening after your last run: If you don’t want to waste time on ski buses, searching for parking, or long walks during your winter vacation, look specifically for accommodations right on the slopes. In Austria, there are several hotspots where “ski-in/ski-out” isn’t just a marketing slogan—it’s a way of life. Three of them are part of AlpenParks: the AlpenParks Arlberg in Warth, the AlpenParks Sonnleiten in Saalbach on the Kohlmais slope, and the AlpenParks Hagan Lodge in Altaussee at the foot of the Loser. We’ll show you what makes these on-slope accommodations so special—and which other AlpenParks resorts are also just a stone’s throw from the lifts.
What exactly does “ski-in, ski-out” mean?
“Ski-in, ski-out” describes accommodations where you can put on your skis right from your front door and reach the slopes or the lift without having to take a bus or drive. After a day of skiing, you take the same route back to your lodging. The advantage: no lugging luggage through town, no waiting at ski bus stops, and more time on the slopes instead of on the way there. In Austria, high-altitude winter sports resorts such as Warth-Schröcken, Saalbach-Hinterglemm, and Altaussee are particularly well-known for this type of lodging.
