While this Austrian city is famed for its graceful Baroque architecture and musical history, it’s the access to high-quality shred that we care about.
You can choose to mooch through Mozart’s birthplace, or instead head to Zell am See or the neighbouring resort, Kaprun, collectively known as the Europa Sport Region.
Zell offers a ridiculous expanse of quality pistes, while Kaprun’s Kitzsteinhorn Glacier, at 3,200m is known for its off-piste riding. Smaller resorts are located just outside Salzburg, but if you are working all week, its Zell or Kaprun where you’ll want to blow off some steam.
