Picturesque skiing without the queues in Zürs & St Christoph this February half term

					AVAILABILITY KIDS PROGRAMMES
	As the birthplace of modern day skiing, it’s hardly surprising the classy little Austrian village of Zürs punches above its weight with a world-class reputation for picturesque runs, super snowy microclimate and links with Lech and the vast Arlberg ski area. If this ‘diamond in the snow’ doesn’t suit then the small but perfectly formed St Christoph offers oodles of Austrian charm connecting with the renowned St Anton ski circuit from just outside your hotel. Boasting a variety of terrain to suit all levels, friendly ski schools with excellent nursery slopes and a choice of superb family accommodation, Zürs and St Christoph really are a cut above the rest. THE POWDER BYRNE SERVICE With 27 seasons successfully under our skis, we have developed a finely tuned bespoke service with a team of dedicated staff on hand to ensure you are able to make the most of your time on the slopes. Whilst the kids are busy whizzing around the mountain honing their skills in our Yetis and SnoZone programmes, you’ll be free to share your passion and join our complimentary ski guiding groups. Join the fun this February  half term and Easter holidays and benefit from the high altitude slopes and reassuring snow record. Call us today, we'd be delighted to help you select the perfect option for a memorable ski holiday. Click below for information
