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.

Ive boarded at Zauchensee twice, once as my second week on a board and again 16 years later, as a good standard boarder. The resort is well laid out with a large central hub that has plenty of eateries and services. The resort itself isnt massive, but has some really excellent pistes, that are well serviced by a good quality lift system. Really my only gripe with the resort would be the main piste into the centre gets really badly chewed up and is often quite congested and cut up, other than that pistes are excellent and its a really good resort for beginners and more experienced riders.

if you were wanting to describe the ideal small ski village Zauchensee would be it. Situated in a wooded bowl with slopes both sides and a great link to the extensive Ski Amade, it couldn't be better.
A small cluster of impressive hotels and a number of traditional eateries in the village cater for all requirements and the family friendly and ski school facilities are second to none if you want to get away from the larger better known resorts.
If you throw in a world cup venue ,good altitude and easy and quick transfer from Salzburg , Zauchensee is well worth consideration.
