I was blown away with the sheer beauty of driving up to the mountain to the resort. The rental staff were great, the gondolas providing majestic views from all sides and elevations, the restaurant staff kind and lively and most of all, the fantastic runs from the peak down. Would come back to this resort in a heartbeat another season!

Ski Circus has just about everything for everyone!
Austrians do it the best, with decent priced food and drink on the mountains and brilliant if not the best Apres ski.
