💡 Did You Know?

The best-kept secret

After the holiday rush, the Alps settle into their most peaceful rhythm. Locals call it “the real winter” — calm villages, empty lifts, and that unmistakable January stillness. It’s when the mountains show their true charm and you can enjoy authentic alpine life without the crowds.

The finest snow conditions

In Week 2, temperatures drop, snow depths increase, and slopes are perfectly groomed. Resorts like Bad Gastein, Fieberbrunn, and Katschberg often record their best powder days of the winter right now — ideal for skiers and snowboarders chasing flawless runs and crisp mountain air.

Better prices

With schools back in session and most Austrians returning to work, Week 2 offers lower accommodation rates, discounted lift passes, and plenty of availability. It’s one of the most budget-friendly ways to enjoy luxury alpine living — without compromising on snow or comfort.

Week 2 Ski Holidays in the Alps

If you’re planning a ski trip in early January, Week 2 (3–10 January 2026) offers some of the best skiing in Austria — quieter slopes, perfect snow conditions, and attractive prices across destinations like Bad Gastein, Wagrain, and Fieberbrunn.
Below we’ve gathered the most common questions about Week 2 ski holidays in Austria, so you can plan your trip with confidence.

1. Why is Week 2 one of the best times for a ski holiday in Austria?

Week 2 sits right after the New Year’s rush — meaning you get the same winter magic, snow depth, and festive atmosphere without the crowds or high prices.
Lift lines are shorter, accommodation is more affordable, and the mood in Austrian resorts is relaxed.
It’s also the first full week of the year when fresh snow meets cold, stable temperatures, making it ideal for both skiers and snowboarders.
Many experienced travellers even call Week 2 the “locals’ week” — a hidden period of perfect conditions and tranquility.

2. What’s special about Week 2 in Bad Gastein?

Bad Gastein in Week 2 is truly unique — the village feels calm, the spas are open, and the snow conditions are fantastic.
You can ski all day on perfectly prepared pistes, then soak in the famous thermal baths or enjoy après-ski in elegant surroundings.
Many AlpenTravel apartments in Bad Gastein offer panoramic mountain views, saunas, and close lift access, making it the ideal base for a Week 2 ski holiday in Austria.
Bad Gastein’s altitude also ensures excellent snow reliability even during warmer winters.

3. What are the snow conditions like during Week 2 in Austria?

Early January usually brings some of the best snow of the entire ski season. The slopes in Wagrain, Fieberbrunn, and Katschberg are famous for consistent snow cover and high altitudes.
Nighttime temperatures stay low, preserving powder conditions throughout the day.
If you’re looking for reliable snow and fewer skiers, Week 2 in Austria is the perfect balance — cold, quiet, and crystal clear.

4. Are Week 2 ski holidays cheaper than Christmas or February?

Yes — Week 2 ski holidays in Austria are often 20–30% cheaper than peak periods.
Apartments, chalets, and lift passes all drop in price, while availability increases.
It’s also easier to find last-minute Week 2 deals, especially in Bad Hofgastein and Wagrain, where early January bookings are popular among repeat guests.
So if you’re seeking value without compromise, Week 2 is your opportunity to experience affordable alpine luxury.

5. Is Week 2 suitable for families with children?

Definitely. Week 2 is one of the best family weeks of the ski season.
Ski schools are quieter, slopes are less crowded, and instructors have more time to focus on each child.
Destinations like Katschberg and Wagrain are especially popular thanks to their wide blue runs, kids’ areas, and family chalets.
Families also benefit from lower lift pass prices and better apartment availability.
It’s the perfect week for an affordable and relaxed family ski holiday in Austria.
