Are you thinking of doing something different for New Year's Eve this year? How about a cosy group holiday in the mountains? With a charming holiday home, a crackling fire, twinkling stars and champagne, you can create unforgettable memories together in the mountains.
Read on for seven reasons why group accommodation in Austria is the perfect setting for your New Year's Eve celebrations.

1. Snow-sure holidays

Many Austrian regions are already covered in a thick layer of snow in December. Ski areas such as Zillertal, Saalbach and Ski Amadé are especially snow-sure, guaranteeing a winter wonderland. Picture this: your chalet is nestled on a snow-capped slope, ready for a day of skiing or a stroll through a winter wonderland.

2. Cosy group accommodation with atmosphere

In a group house or chalet, you will have plenty of space to yourselves, including a large living room, several bedrooms and a kitchen where you can cook or enjoy a gourmet meal together. Many properties also have a sauna or fireplace.
Many of the properties are tastefully decorated in an authentic Austrian style. They are perfect for cosy evenings spent playing board games, listening to music or toasting the New Year together.

3. Count down to midnight together in a magical mountain landscape!

New Year's Eve in the mountains is magical. There are no crowds, just an intimate atmosphere with your group. From the balcony, you can watch the fireworks lighting up the mountains. Many villages organise fireworks displays that are often even more atmospheric than those at home. And you can celebrate in peace and quiet, without any hassle.

4. Combine winter sports and partying!

New Year's Eve falls in the middle of the ski season. Ski or snowboard during the day, then party in your own chalet or a local après-ski bar in the evening — it doesn't get any better than that! Even if not everyone in your group wants to ski, there are plenty of other activities to enjoy, such as tobogganing, winter hiking, visiting Christmas markets or simply relaxing at home.

5. Quality time together without stress

At home, the holidays are often hectic, with family visits, cooking and other obligations. On holiday, it's different. You can really spend quality time together, free from distractions.
Enjoy breakfast with a view of the mountains, play games with a glass of wine or relax in the sauna. This way, you can start the New Year feeling relaxed and connected.

6. Pet-friendly? Your dog can join in the celebrations too

Did you know that many group houses in Austria allow pets? This is ideal if someone in the group wants to bring their dog. This means you won't need to arrange a pet sitter, which is less stressful for your pet, especially during fireworks.

7. Book early to secure your spot!

Group accommodation around New Year's Eve is very popular and fills up quickly when booked early. If you are travelling with 15 or more people, it is especially wise to book well in advance. Fortunately, at Ferienhaus-Tirol.eu, you can easily search by group size, region, and period. Everything is clearly organised, so you can quickly find what you are looking for..
