Children:
Garmisch is very kid-friendly. Most of the major hotels provide daycare, so you can leave your children when you go off for the day. If you prefer a private babysitter, the tourist office in the village will provide you with a list of names.They have a ski kindergarten for children over five. This school offers a half day or full day program that provides lunch. They also have a program that lasts 5 days. There are also youth classes for older kids. Children over three who are too young to ski can stay in the Garmisch kindergarten.

There are discounts on lift tickets for children under 15. Most of the slopes are beginner level. The instructors all speak English fluently.Outside of skiing, there’s a lot for the little ones to enjoy here. The biggest thrills are provided by the indoor public swimming pool complex, complete with a wave pool, water slides, and a diving pool. There are three indoor skating rinks and one outdoor rink, and hockey is as popular here as figure skating. The kids can also enjoy tobogganing and sledding. There’s also the movie theater in town, which shows recent American releases in English.

Après-ski ( The relaxation and entertainment that is enjoyed after a day's skiing):
Kitzbühel is very well known for its great aprés-ski scene and ambiance, which attracts many visitors. The casino opens in the early afternoon, but you need to change your clothes before going. Most of the other places in town casual attire is appriopriate (even ski clothing. Kitbuhel offers more than 30 bars where you can sample a little gluvine (mulled wine) or the local beer, and also many cafés and pastry shops. The party starts at happy hour. You can either start out at a ski hut on the mountain or hed back to town.Whatever your pleasure, there are friendly bartenders and waitresses willing to let you sample the local brews.

There is something for every taste in this cosmopolitan berg. There are noisy bars full of young single people, quiet little places popular with the locals, and smart spots to flaunt your most expensive ski clothes, fur coats, and jewelry.

Romance:
St. Anton is perfect for couples that want to get away together. Romance is in the air, with the awe-inspiring mountain vistas and cozy little restaurants waiting after a hard day on the slopes. Who could think of a better way to rekindle a romance other than a comfy sleigh ride. It's great fun to take a loved one on one of these scenic tours, so don't miss the opportunity.

Wild Parties:
Solden is a blast. Bars and nightclubs start the show at 4:00 p.m. and do not stop until at least 12 hours later. Moving from one house to the other, singing, dancing, drinking—this is what Sölden is about. This little town is happily referred to as “The Mallorca of the snow.” (Mallorca is one of the most touristy places for Germans in the world. German-speaking people go there to have fun drinking in the sun.) In brief Solden is about: party, drinking, dancing, and flirting rule here—so much so that the morning call onto the pistes can most times only be followed with at least two aspirin; or, as the Austrians say: “You’ve gotta start with what you finished. Prost.”

Non-Skier:
Innsbruck is the place if you would prefer other options other than ski. Innsbruck will keep you entertained with excellent shopping and a happening nightlife. Culture vultures will be happy with world-class opera, gorgeous architecture, and superb museums, but there are also many other activities available such as ice-skating rinks, hiking, biking and sleigh rides. Since the locals are friendly and (usually) speak English, Innsbruck is a good fit for anyone seeking an international skiing holiday adventure.

Groups:
Cortina is a great place for large groups who will appreciate a range of recreation wide enough to suit all members’ needs. The resort offers excellent nursery slopes, profusion of intermediate runs, and challenging expert courses. Cross-country skiers enjoy a variety of trails, snowboarders find the slopes here friendly, and off-piste adventurers seek out rugged terrain in the pristine backcountry.Although it is one of the most popular ski resorts in Europe, Cortina offers much more than great skiing. Outdoor recreation including snowshoeing, ice skating, and sledding of all sorts keeps non-skiers busy. Designer boutiques and a wide selection of crafts please shoppers, and numerous spas and gyms keep the health-conscious in shape. After an evening stroll through the quaint pedestrian center, dining, dancing, and drinking keep the fun rolling well into the night.
