Austria from Vienna to the Alps: A Journey Through the Country's Great Stays
Austria is a small country that changes completely as it crosses. It begins in the east with Vienna, all imperial avenues, coffee houses and gilded rooms, and ends in the far west among the high peaks of the Arlberg, where the air thins and the villages shrink to timber and stone. In between lie mirror-still lakes, forested valleys and the slow rhythm of the mountains. This is a route through that transformation, from the capital to the highest slopes, with six boutique stays chosen as the natural places to pause, each one shaped by the landscape immediately outside its door.
The Best Mountain Hotels in the Alps for Winter 2026/27

The six properties gathered here, spread across the Italian Alps, the Dolomites and Switzerland, are where to spend the 2026/27 cold season. Some are true ski bases, others are slow mountain and thermal retreats, and knowing which is which is the whole art of booking a winter worth remembering.
