Description:Salzburg, Austria.
Newest Review: ... clumping, cable car thrustration, fear not the scenery will take your breathe away up and down the mountains if the packed snow on your boots doesn’t. Like professional golf tournament watching you need the latest gear and kit to impress as a lot of people are hear for the show as well as the snow. It’s not cheap either up there but you have to keep warm and “cool”with ... more

Because skiing in Europe is so middle class it’s a touch expensive and can set you back 600 pounds + a week so if its possible, try and get a low cost airline out to the big cities near the Alps and Pyroxenes mountains and book your accommodation through the internet as I did as there are big savings to be made, Travel agencies really do take a significant chunk of your package price for little work although they do include ski passes, rentals and schools which can be extra hassle on site. If you’re an absolute beginner this resort is probably the wrong place to really enjoy learning and one could consider the popular British resort of Mayhoffen near bye ... Read the complete review

Austria is new to me and my wife and I tried this resort for the first time last year and we were captivated, by the charm, atmosphere and beauty of the place. The skiing is only Ok but for a week and with one expert and one beginner it provided us with everything we needed. The pistes are picturesque and of long length. The snow was fabulous. The moutain facilities were fantastic and a hell of a lot cheaper than France or Switzerland. All in all it was perfect to go as a couple and to spend a week pootling around together. Reallly romantic and lovely scenery. We weree glad we went but mogul bashers should go elsewhere. ... Read the complete review
