The Austrian Alps

75% of the country is dominated by the Alps mountain range and other highland areas.  This makes Austria a prime destination for skiing in the winter and hiking in the summer.  Rent a passenger van and take the whole crew on a trip to the mountains they will never forget.  You can stay at a chalet high in the mountains and ski the 450 km of slopes at the ever popular Innsbruck resort.  Or wait for summer an trek along one of the Weitwanderwege (long walking paths) to the highland peaks and through low-lying valleys.  You will feel great and view amazing backdrops any time of the year.
