Winter walking trails are in each area. Stay in 4* family- run hotels, which have all the after-ski luxuries and include half-board. Private transportation is included. Sightsee in Munich, Innsbruck and a Bavarian village.

The Austrian ski resorts of Sölden and Hochgurgl (10,600) have 54 lifts, including a 6-mile run dropping over 5,000 ft.  Walkers can ride many of the lifts.  The ski-in Alpina Hotel is sure to satisfy everyone with 12 after-ski wellness options.  You will remember the beautiful presentation of their gourmet 4-course dinners and breakfast buffet.  After enjoying the skiing here,  journey to Innsbruck for lunch and sightseeing and a great trail to hike up to view Innsbruck and the Inn river.

Then travel to Galtür where Christian and Sabine welcome you at their 4* hotel.  For skiing/walking, Ischgl, Wirl and Samnaun have 101 lifts, (9,500 ft) and the best-every apple-strudel and smoothest vanilla sauce.  Complete the Smugglers runs and/or take the all day back-country ski circus (Weather and snow conditions permitting).
