Filzmoos, Austria

Traditional pituresque Austrian village with a very good snow record for the altitude. We have been visiting the Hotel Unterhof for over 10 years, and love the hospitality and atmosphere that this hotel provides. Lunch or Apres-ski at the Happy Filzmoos is great and perfectly situated to sit and watch the kids ride up and down the nursery slopes while the adults enjoy a welcome beer. The resort is at it's best for families or beginers/intermediates, and the resort can be skied in a day or so, but to a certain extent this misses the point. There is an excellent ski safari for guests at the Unterhof, where Marcus takes you on a very short transfer to one of the many local slopes. Within 15/20 minutes (a wait in the queue at other resorts)you can be enjoying Schladming, Flachau, Flachauwinkl and Wagrain where the skiing is almost unlimited and included in the comprehensive lift pass. A perfect compromise then with all the small village charm, and wonderful cruising runs in and around the village and immediate area. We have just booked again for January 2006. Check out Ryanair, flights to salzburg on 16th January were costing 1 penny! Book direct with the Unterhof on this week and you get a free lift pass thrown in...Unfortunately we can not make that week, but someone out there is going to get a seriously great bargain. IT COULD BE YOU
