We have compiled a concise and clear table of the most popular ski resorts in Austria. It includes the number of lifts, blue, red, and black slopes, region, distance, and of course, prices at Austrian ski resorts.
We measured distances to the resorts from Lviv, as it's a great idea to stay overnight in Lviv when traveling from the central part of Ukraine. The distance indicates how much longer or closer it is to travel to a specific Austrian ski resort. Keep in mind that the road in Austria passes through mountainous areas, and you will often go through tunnels with a speed limit of 80 km/h.
You can find all the details about traveling through Austria in our article: Austria, toll roads, fuel prices, speed limits
