It is hard to overemphasive how much Austrians love their sking. If I had to make an anology, the passion is similar to Americans and our love of freedom, kids and their love for sugar, or grandparents and their love of naps, or perhaps bees and their love forflours, or saints and their love of God.
Fortunately, for all of us (and you too) avid skiers, Gaming is situated close to numerous ski resorts which are all relatively affordable and offer beautiful views and nice pistes.
Some of the closer and more famous resorts include:
Lackenhof: About 20 minute bus ride from Gaming.
Hochkar: About 45 minute drive from Gaming.
St. Sebastian: About 45 min - 1 hour bus ride from Gaming.
Muhlbach am Hochkonig: Several hundred kilometers of ski runs; ideal for intermediate skiers, this fantastic resort is just outside of Salzburg, about 3 1/2 hours from Gaming.
Ischgl: From this unique resort, one can ski in both Austria and Switzerland as it is on the border. Ischgl is considered one of the best (more famous) ski resorts in all of Austria. It is about 100 km from Innsbruck so it is quite a trek but would be perfect for a weekend trip. Reservations here are definitely needed as I tried to go several time and couldn't even find a place to sleep!
