Great resort, linked to Flachauwinkl, and the wider ski amadé resorts. Great snow compared to the other resorts nearby, due to altitude and orientation. The runs are long, great for skiing at speed and with some challenges. World cup run is a fantastic route from top to the village. The village is quite small and based around hotels. There can be some queues at times around some lifts, but it's always possible to choose which village lift to take depending on the queues, as they are adjacent to each other. Lots of variety. Can't wait to return.

It is over 40 years ago that I was there almost every weekend, our favorite skiing resort.
The Tauernkar lift was added back in the days and added great slopes to the initial terrain.
I wish I had experienced the access from Flachauwinkl, a valuable addition to go to the resort from the autobahn.

Nice resort with good accommodation options nearby, but probably not one for lovely apres-ski. Runs are all brilliantly maintained, lift are very efficient and the off-piste skiing is pretty good.
