Explore the area during your short ski break.
A cosy chalet or an authentic group house covered in snow really completes the perfect picture. Whether you stay close to the slopes or in the middle of the village, Belvilla's holiday homes have all the facilities you need. Lots of villages offer entertainment for partygoers and peace seekers alike.
During your short ski break, you'll find a wide choice of accommodation. Every village has small and large holiday homes. How about a typical Austrian chalet, a spacious German group house or a lovely French apartment? Whether you are travelling with the whole family or with a small group, the possibilities are endless.
In almost every ski village you will find many shops, bars and restaurants. Most restaurants serve delicious local dishes, which will have you licking your lips. If you prefer to cook for yourself during your winter sports weekend, the local supermarkets sell excellent products. If you go skiing for a weekend or a midweek break around Christmas, there are also lovely markets in the villages with delicious mulled wine and beautiful winter decorations.
If you want to enjoy some après-ski after skiing, then a winter sports weekend in Austria is highly recommended. The party starts early on and around the slopes. In the afternoon, you can enjoy listening to fun music in the cosy mountain huts. In the evening, partygoers move to the bars in the valley, and then they crawl into bed in the middle of the night or early in the morning. Of course, a number of villages in Austria also offer wonderful accommodation for those looking for peace and quiet. The French ski resorts are not as well-known for their exuberant après-ski. However, even during your short ski break, it is wonderful to stay here with all the snug cafes and bars.
Unlimited winter fun all weekend long
During your winter sports weekend, you don't have to spend every day on the slopes. In many ski areas you can also go tobogganing, ice skating, cross-country skiing and winter hiking. For little snow lovers, there are fun activities organised in the children's area, so you can enjoy the short ski break with no worries
Almost all ski resorts have a toboggan run. Some are a bit longer and others a bit faster, but there is tobogganing fun for everyone. The Austrian Bramberg has 14 kilometre-long toboggan run. As well as being the longest toboggan run in the world, the track is also floodlit in the evening. That means plenty of tobogganing fun during your winter sports holiday. In addition to tobogganing, most ski areas are also perfect for fun sleigh rides with the whole family.
If you prefer to spend the whole day skiing, then you can choose to take a beautiful cross-country skiing trip through the area. A number of cross-country trails are located high above sea level so that you can enjoy beautiful views while you are cross-country skiing. The areas in Germany and Austria are perfect for a day or afternoon of cross-country skiing. As well as all the trails, there are also great, well-trodden hiking paths in many areas. If you put on your snowshoes, you will find places that you would probably never discover on your skis.
Many ski resorts are ideal for families with children. There are special children's areas, where little snow lovers can learn to make their first turns. They are also entertained with fun winter games. A number of ski areas, such as Winterberg, have special children's lifts or drag lifts so that they can get up the hill safely.
In the evening, you can relax by the fireplace in your holiday home or in the spa. Many areas have a number of spa facilities, such as a sauna, a massage room or an infrared cabin. So you can relax your muscles a little.
