Whats the town actually like… It’s not big it’s really a village so it’s pretty quiet there’s some lovely hotels there including the 4* Kärntnerhof which is where I stayed. The standard of the hotel accommodation is really high and the food was excellent too. It’s very much settle into the hotel territory and enjoy relaxing, it’s not party central. The skiing It’s definitely for the more adventurous skier It’s not a huge resort in terms of the mileage with around 50km’s of marked runs The longest is 10 kilometres Really good snow record and the village is at 1300 metres and it goes up to 2600 metres The mix of really long runs and the off-piste terrain is the draw, plus the scenery and the fact it’s such a cool mountain destination with ver In the meantime Happy Skiing :).
