Great ski area and après-ski
Lots of people in the town made for a good atmosphere. The ski area is also great for everyone, with both easy and difficult pistes. Big enough so you can ski all day and still have something new left for tomorrow.
Well-rounded ski area with something for everybody
Westendorf is a part of the SkiWelt, which has a modern lift system and excellent facilities and terrain, restaurants, etc. The village is cosy and friendly, and you don't need your car.
Nice ski area and lively atmosphere in the village
The new Fleckalmbahn is awesome, makes it loads easier to get around and practically eliminates wait times. Perfect ski area, perfect town, what more can I say?
Large ski area ideal for families
Enormous ski area with a large variety of lifts and red and blue slopes. Good food and affordable prices. Gets crowded over the school holidays. Ski school is great as are the instructors. Not much to do in the town itself.

Beautiful town and friendly atmosphere
Great resort for a family ski holiday!
Nice combination of skiing and city
I flew to Innsbruck in January and loved it. It was easy to reach my accommodation from the airport, and both the slopes and the town were within quick reach of each other. The Ski Plus City pass is a fantastic initiative. I'll definitely be back!
Wonderful ski area
We come here twice a year and have been coming for 25 years - enough said!
Great place even if you're not strapped into your skis
Years ago before we had kids we were able to spend the whole day on the slopes. Nice mountain restaurants and many familiar faces in the lift queues as we've been coming here for 20 years. Now with the children our priorities are a little different and we spend more time in the town, which is nicely laid out and easy to wander through. For the children there is swimming, sledging and ice skating. In short, a wonderful place for a winter holiday with or without kids!
Ideal hub for a ski holiday in the Zillertal
Zell am Ziller has a fantastic location within easy reach of the neighbouring ski areas. Within 10 minutes you can be in Mayrhofen, Zell am Ziller or Kalgenbach, and just a little further away is the Hintertux Glacier. Zell am Ziller has everything for a ski holiday - ski hire, après-ski, shops and restaurants. A cosy little town where everyone feels at home!
5 year old badly abused by lift employee
I would advise against any families to take their kids on holiday here. My child was grabbed by his arm which is (badly bruised and swollen ) and thrown on the floor by a lift employee, because he entered the rope lift the wrong side. When my son was crying the lift man told him to shut up. I went to see the chef/ manager and he couldn't care less that my son was abused and in pain. He said it was my son's own fault because he entered the lift the wrong way and I should take the blame and responsibility.
Skiing for all levels
Ischgl is a ski area with inspiring terrain for all skiers from beginner to advanced, especially those who also value a good après-ski scene. What is unfortunately missing are cosy and rustic huts. Unfortunately you're more likely to find huge self-service restaurants that are geared to handle a "mass of skiers" as quickly as possible! Hopefully in coming years Ischgl will start focusing more quality over quantity.
Nice place
Nice landscape to hike in, winter and summer
Simply The Best
Love to visit here as much as i can Such a friendly place and great food I walk and use the Spa in our fantasic hotel while my husband is sking Enjoy evenings together with lovely food
Superb!
Went to Ischgl for the first time in February with my husband. We love skiing and après-ski and found Ischgl to be the perfect place for both. It was expensive, but you get what yo pay for. We loved that you can walk almost everywhere and don't have to rely too much on the ski bus. Excellent slopes, we had a blast skiing every day. We'll definitely be back.
Fantastic ski resort (according to my 8-year-old!)
Nice ski area with enough challenges, especially for intermediate skiers. The kids love the funslopes. The village offers enough entertainment in the evenings or for non-skiers.
Great winter city trip
We had a lovely time in Innsbruck last winter. Easy to reach by air and easy to move around by bus in the city. We stayed in a hotel in the centre and used it as a base to explore the city, which is neither too small nor too large. Naturally we visited all the highlights (Golden Roof, Alpenzoo). We also went to the top of the Nordkette to see the view. We are avid skiers and took a day trip to Axamer Lizum. In the evenings Innsbruck has a great atmosphere, lots of restaurants and bars where you can have a drink.
Challenging terrain, expensive, après-ski overrated
Skied for a week with some friends, from intermediate to expert. Due to the enormous crowds on the valley runs, they start having bumps in the early afternoon. Lots of restaurants but many of them large and commercial. The Mooserwirt is a must-see but it's expensive and too big. In the village there are more options for dining out, but better reserve or everything will be full.
Great atmosphere in the village and lovely slopes
In my opinion, Lech is absolutely one of the prettiest ski resort towns in Austria. The centre has a friendly atmosphere with lots of shops to browse. A shame it's so dear, but this does mean the clientele is somewhat more selective. No crazy après-ski but some nice outdoor terraces for sitting and having a drink. The ski area is great, nice wide runs for carving.
Awesome; authentic Tyrol
Vorderlanersbach and Lanersbach are two quiet villages with lovely people and a real winter sports atmosphere. Sledging from the Rastkogel to Vorderlanersbach is highly recommended, don't forget to stop for a drink at the Olperblick. Try the graukase... he makes it himself, but he only has 1 cow... hahaha, awesome.
Wonderful ski area!
Schladming is much more than just Planai. The four summits are connected so you can also reach Hauser Kaibling (lots of blue slopes, more suitable for intermediate skiers), Rohrmoos (more laid-back and friendly) and Reiteralm (wonderfully wide and beautiful slopes in the sunshine, with views of Dachstein). The ski area has something for everyone, from a snow park in the Reiteralm to tobogganing in Rohrmoos, from black pistes like De Tenne to relaxed après-ski in Planai and of course the relaxing Hauser Kaibling. Last but not least, there are gorgeous, unique cross-country trails in Rohrmoos Untertal. The village of Schladming is modern and has everything you need. A must-do!
Solid ski area
You can ski at all the surrounding ski areas with one lift pass and connected by bus, very convenient. Nice wide slopes. Good restaurants.
Quiet village but has everything you could wish for in a skiing destination
The village itself is small and quiet but at the bottom of the slopes there are enough options for pleasant après-ski, not just for families but also for young people. The classes of ski school S4 start in the valley and then go into the ski area together. Parents don't need to accompany their children up the hill, which saves queueing at the gondola. Moreover, there are two gondolas up from the valley, which means no hour-long waits, even in high season. There are several restaurants on the slopes where you can eat or grab a drink. The slopes are mainly blue and red, but some of the red slopes are quite tricky. This is also a good destination for off-piste skiing/snowboarding, and of course there are Saalbach and Hinterglemm not too far off. The only downside is that if you have small children and you want to eat together at lunchtime, you can't ski back and forth. We have been coming here for many years and have always had a blast, first without children and now with children aged 5 and 9. And they also love it here!
Total ski area with the other villages is ideal!
We spent a week skiing here with two other families, well-groomed pistes and fast lifts! An enormous ski area with lots of possibilities.
Seems a lovely ski area, but almost everything was closed
Nobody warned us that most of the ski area was closed. We came for Easter weekend and ended up paying a very expensive lift pass for half a ski area. The website didn't have any information regarding the closure. All the mountain restaurants were closed, so we couldn't find anything to eat or drink on the slopes and had to go all the way down to the village to find something.
