Skiing is considered to be a national obsession, because the country has the corresponding natural conditions to go in for skiing. Every Austrian is fond of this kind of sport. There are more than 3,500 lifts that take skiers to the top of thousands of miles of marked ski runs. But except the winter sports there are other recreation opportunities. If you are eager to enjoy the picturesque sceneries of Alpine regions hot-air balloon ride is exactly what you need.
Golf courses can be found throughout the country. They are located in Innsbruck in Seefeld, in Corinthia and in other cities of the country. Three-fourths of Austria’s land is covered with hills and mountains, that’s why mountaineering is also a widespread sport.
