Advantages: The Best-Kept Secret In The Alps...!
Disadvantages: None!

I stepped out of the Kaiserburg gondola. The soft humming of the lift mechanics faded as I hoisted up my skis and moved out towards the summit. Above me, the sun shone in a clear and utterly cloudless alpine sky, and around me, in all directions, the Alps ... Read review

Good informative review by Hydra101

well, Austrian skiing resorts start the season around Dec.1 even if there's not enough natural snow....here is a hint for avoiding to get lost in fog or dense snowfall: the posts on the sides of the slopes have balls on top which are half green and half red, just keep on the green side and you won't be drifting off by herbb

Advantages: Quiet slopes, Excellent for beginners, large variety and number of runs
Disadvantages: Fairly limited for advanced skiers, quiet nightlife, lack of activities for non-skiers

The resort of Obergurgl was my first experience of a skiing/snowboarding holiday so please forgive my inability to compare it with anything. Flying into Innsbruck (the nearest airport) is quite an experience, the plane swings between mountains upon its ap ... Read review

We went to Schladming twice already, once in 2001 and again in 2003. The town is in upper Styria (Obersteiermark), but is actually nearer to the well-known resorts of Salzburg (Zell Am See, Abtenau, etc.) than the provincial capital of Steiermark which ... Read review

Advantages: High for Austria, good snow record
Disadvantages: More expensive than he rest of the region, not as 'charming' as some Austrian resorts

We visited Obertauern for New Year 03/04. I picked the resort as the height (1700-ish) was good for Austria so expected snow cover to be mnore reliable, considering it was quite an early holiday. We travelled independently and flew into Salzburg airpo ... Read review
