Austria is famed for its alpine skiing and beautiful chalets for lodging and après ski. Here are a few of the top ski hotels in the Austrian Alps, four star places to stay located right on the slopes, as well as some travel tips for the ultimate Austrian ski vacation.
The place to stay in Kitzbühel is the Hotel Rasmushof, at the base of the slopes right next to the Hahnenkamm finish line. This stunning chalet is steps to the lifts, Kitzbühel's historic village, the best après ski and shopping, and its operated by the great granddaughter of the first man to ski Kitzbüheler Horn in 1893. The ski hotel is lovely, with a spa, beautiful bar and dining room with views of the slopes, a ski room, and suites with traditional chalet balconies.
In the famous ski village of St Anton, the Bergschlossl is closest to the lift, with charming Tyrolean décor. This Austrian castle is a four star hotel, with third generation innkeepers, delightful décor, with all the modern amenities, beautiful guest rooms (we recommend the Oriol Suite with the round bed), tile bathrooms, in room WiFi and iMac, a Spa, and a ski room just steps to the lifts. A bountiful Tyrolean breakfast buffet is served each morning with a ski slope view.
Mooser Hotel at St Anton
This modern St Anton hotel is located on the ski slopes perched above the village. The 4-star Mooser is a 17 suite hotel that appears to be a traditional Austrian chalet from the outside, but inside is a sophisticated spa atmosphere with luxurious rooms featuring floor to ceiling glass windows, spacious baths, decks. The Hotel offers a spectacular Spa and a sophisticated slope view dining room serving local Austrian cuisine. The Mooser is next to the popular Mooserwirt Bar for the best après ski in Austria, but the adjacent hotel is much quieter and classier.
Hotel Bergland in Solden
The best hotel in Solden ski village is the 4-star Bergland. This lifestyle hotel greets guest with a lobby waterfall that changes color. Everything in the modern hotel, built in 2010, is tasteful and posh. Designer rooms offer views of the town through the floor to ceiling windows.

Alpbach is just a short drive to Ski Juwel, the ski slopes of Alpbachtal and Wildschőnau, and not far from SkiWelt and Kitzbuhel. Alpbacherhof is the best of both worlds, old world chalet lodging with modern spa like rooms. Don't miss the outdoor pool with Alps views and the Sauna chalet.
