Off the slopes
This is a small, traditional Alpine village ski resort, so don't expect wild après-ski but this is Austria so it is good and lively! What you will find is a range of restaurants, bars and cafes where you can choose between traditional cuisine, and familiar international offerings. Other activities available include torch lit walks, swimming, bowling, and ice skating in nearby Bischofshofen.
WE LIKE
- Great for beginners and intermediates with Ski Amadé also on your doorstep
- Easy access from the airport to make ski transfers simple
- Small traditional Austrian village with some great slopes and close to Kaprun glacier too
|
WE DON'T LIKE
- Not really a resort for advanced skiers or boarders - but large ski area so a good base
- Après-ski a little limited - but what is, is more traditional and therefore pretty lively
- Limited things for non-skiers to do during the day (or night!)
