Family Friendliness
I first visited dachstein west as a novice skier after only previously skiing on a school trip when I was 12. It is a brilliant family resort and occasionally weve had slopes to ourselves. My partner is a seasoned skier and also has ample opportunities to ski various levels of slopes as well as various jumps and tree routes. Its a perfect place to teach someone you love how to ski and opens up a world of possibilities.

I came here 2 years ago, the ski lessons were amazing and I managed to gain my confidence to go up the top after just 1 day. The scenery is incredible and there are plenty of amazing places to get food and drinks.
I would definitely recommend.
