But the fascination with the two planks doesn&#039;t end on the slopes. According to a Club Med study, skiing is the most attractive holiday theme on dating apps \u2013 no other leisure activity generates more &quot;swipes right&quot;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201eSkiing can be the start of special encounters and shared memories. It represents freedom, experiencing nature, and a contemporary lifestyle. Skiers convey athleticism, style, and joie de vivre \u2013 qualities that connect people. At the same time, getting started with skiing is easier than ever: thanks to professional instruction and comprehensive on-site services, guests can get started without any hassle and focus entirely on the experience. Skiing is therefore not only healthy and varied, but also an experience that brings people together,\u201c says Astrid Steharnig-Staudinger, Managing Director of the Austrian National Tourist Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Young ski talent: Foundation for the future of Austrian winter tourism<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Austrian National Tourist Office sees itself as the international voice of Austrian tourism and, together with its partners, implements targeted measures to inspire young target groups to take up winter sports and create new ways to experience skiing. Skiing is not only a key economic driver in many regions, but also an emotional shared experience. Whether with friends, family, or new acquaintances: ski days can be combined with culinary delights, apr\u00e8s-ski, wellness, or urban lifestyle experiences, creating lasting memories against the impressive backdrop of the Austrian mountains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201eSkiing is a key pillar of Austrian tourism \u2013 economically, culturally, and emotionally. To ensure this remains the case in the future, we need to connect with the lives of young people, engage them, and show them how attractive skiing can be. With \u201aCrush Course,\u2018 we are deliberately targeting a new generation and sparking their interest in their first skiing experiences in Austria,\u201c Steharnig-Staudinger summarizes the idea behind \u201eCrush Course.\u201c.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Content series \u201eCrush Course\u201c: Swipe potential included<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With its humorous content series &quot;Crush Course,&quot; Austrian Tourism shows that skiing isn&#039;t just fun, it also looks fantastic \u2013 both online and offline. Two friends star in several short social media videos, explaining in English why skiing is so popular, how to plan a day on the slopes, and which photo settings on the piste will make hearts flutter on dating apps. The series combines entertainment with information and is specifically aimed at beginners and those returning to skiing. The content series will be rolled out on Austrian Tourism&#039;s international Instagram and TikTok channels, with a focus on the German and UK markets. The campaign is scheduled to run from the beginning of January to the beginning of March 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The basics for ski beginners: Knowledge that provides security<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Skiing is an integral part of Austrian culture and a cross-generational experience \u2013 many Austrians are already on skis as children. In other countries, however, this natural inclination is often lacking. Topics such as getting to the ski resort, ski rentals, lift tickets, and safety often seem complex to beginners. To overcome these hurdles, the Austrian National Tourist Office has developed a dedicated landing page that explains the most important basics of a ski holiday in Austria in a simple and easy-to-understand way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td>Under\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.austria.info\/de-at\/empfehlungen\/skifahren-lernen\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">www.austria.info\/de-at\/empfehlungen\/skifahren-lernen\/<\/a>\u00a0Those interested will find all relevant information \u2013 from planning their journey to booking accommodation and ski lessons, as well as equipment, safety and lift tickets.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n<\/blockquote>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to a Club Med study, skiing is the most attractive holiday theme on dating apps.
