Après-ski receives frequent positive mentions, as does the affordability of food and accommodation.

The main run back to town is flagged by one reviewer as steep and mogully, potentially challenging for less confident skiers.

Flachau is a beautiful resort just 40 minutes from Salzburg airport. It's linked with Wagrain and Zauchensee which creates a big area with something for everyone. The pistes are very well groomed and great for beginners to advanced although there are some great challenges for experts especially off piste. The lift system is fantastic and modern with lots of gondolas and fast chairs, some of which are heated. The apres ski is legendary although there are many quiet options as well. The prices for food and drink are very reasonable, although you will pay more at the high end restaurants. Overall Flachau is a fantastic resort for all types of skiers and boarders.

Good resort, family friendly with lots of different runs. Main runs could get busy and because there wasn't lots of snow it could get quite icy. Good food on piste!

I went on a 4 week snowboarding trip with work! They facilitated our needs extremely well from the snow park to closing of slopes to allow our training.

The resort its self is a brilliant resort ranging from beginner friendly slopes to slopes to push you out of your comfort zone. Extremely well maintained and a very good level of snow being on a glacier.

A gem in the Austrian alps, be prepared to be surrounded by wide cruisy blues, but also more of a challenge for the more experienced skier. Snow park is very varied.

Apres was typically austrian, not stopping until late late and a welcoming local community. Prices throughout and on mountain very reasonable.

We’ve been to Flachau with the family many times and enjoyed every trip! typically we’ve been at Christmas and enjoyed quiet slopes, good snow, great hospitality and food! Our kids are 17, 15 and 10 and all really great skiers so they enjoy the terrain and expanse of the slopes! We’ve thoroughly enjoyed every trip and will continue to return!

Flachau has some ok blue routes but they get very busy during holiday season. There is good connecting buses to other ski resorts and a lot of ski resorts are connected via gondolas and chairlifts and ski pass covers them all. Good variety so you can find less busy areas and not feel bored.

Great experience for the whole family of 5, kids in the ski school, adults on the slopes. We also were lucky with the wearher, good snow after recent snowfalls, but kaiserwetter on any other way, blue skis, no clouds!

Flachau and the wider area has a great selection of mainly red runs, plenty of speedy and efficient lifts. Rote 8 and Flying Mozart are big cruising piste routes down the mountain lined by trees. Mountain restaurants are abundant and offer large portions at reasonable prices; staff are super efficient and they are all modern and clean (especially the toilets!).
The Ski Amade area offers a big variety of routes across Flachau, Wagrain, St Johann and Zauchansee loads of runs to fill a week and great with the family

Its a great ski resort, always love to go there! There is a blue slope for the beginners but its the ultimate destination for intermediate skiers, with a bunch of red slopes to the side that are less crowded.
