Hi,
we are two brits recently married and going to be having our first christmas together. As our respective children are grown and left home we tought it would be great to go somewhere where there would be snow and a real christmassy atmosphere. From what I have read, Austria seems ideal. We both have skied in the past but not sure how we would get on now so are looking for somewhere with a variety of things to do in case we dont ski too much. We would be staying for about 10 days. Any recommendations, particulalry in regard to hotels would be greatly appreciated. Does anyone recommend anywhere really full of Christmas Spirit and a hotel to match?
Thanks to all who may reply K %26amp; B

The Christmas Holiday time is very busy and expensive in the mountain resorts, but a fantastic experience. The hotels usually have festive activities planned and gala evening dinners.
Some recommendations depend on your method of transport and where you might arrive in Austria.
Assuming you fly - numerous good connections
If Innsbruck arrival
look to Neustift about 20 km south of innsbruck. A nice ski village with easy access to Innsbruck for more variety if you want.
look to Hotel Jagdhof
www.hotel-jagdhof.at
a 4 star hotel- nicely decorated- excelent food - nice pool.
Berwang
A very small village - romantic - access from Innsbruck or Munich but a greter distance.
Hotel Singer
www.hotelsinger.at
Superb hotel and food - The Singer family does much to make a visit special - good wine cellar.
Less to do in town but Ludwig castles- Garmisch nearby
car is a good thing to have.
If flying to Salzburg
Zell Am Zee or Saalbach
both festive ski villages within an hour south of Salzburg
Numerous good hotels - look at the town web sites and info here on Trip advisor
Kitzbuhel is also good but often has not much snow due to lower elevation.
Hopes this lets you begin to look at the possibilities

A posting on your other thread reminded me of another area just east of Innsbruck and easily accessible by car, train or bus from Innsbruck- The Zillertal ( Ziller Valley)
Theresa Hotel in Zellam Ziller- in the middle of the valley- many ski possibilities-
Very nice family owned and managed hotel with excelent food and many festive things from torch light walks to sleigh rides etc, I have stayed in this hotel numerous times and have been very satisfied.
