Obertauern
It's definitely worth a holiday for people who like to smell powder every day and don't wanna hike too much. Freestylers will have fun in the park, especialy intermidate ones who complane about too small kickers and obsticles but wouldn't go over the big mamas (6m high kicker) either.
ON THE SLOPES well prepared and fast if you like that
OFF THE SLOPES an adventure in many ways
MONEY WISE Average Prices and sometimes cheaper although you can live a posh life as well, just as it suits you.
