Adventure and activity holidays
Hand gliding and Paragliding
If you’ve never savoured the soaring thrill of hang gliding or paragliding, the easiest way to learn is on skis, which make taking-off and landing much simpler. There are special schools running courses in which you can learn the basics of theory and practice and take the necessary exam.
Winter Sports Holidays
There is snow sailing or snow rafting, many of these and the other new winter sports can be learnt and practised in Austria’s winter resorts.
Snow is a renewable energy source, and the winter air gets you flying. Snow clearly energises the creativity too. Countless highly imaginative variants of classical alpine skiing have taken to the slopes, and more and more people are trying their hands (or feet, rather) at the “new†winter sports.
Free Style
Free-Style is the collective term for the techniques by which people dance the waltz down the slope or do a quick flip on the way down. Some ski schools offer special courses for learning freestyle techniques.
Snow Rafting
Several years ago snowboarders discovered the thrill of surfing on the snow. Now the rafters are out and about on the slopes with their inflatable boats. A descent down a mountainside in a snow raft is one of the more unusual ways of enjoying an Austria Holiday.
