Lovely town

Wed 8 October 2008 Ari
Rated 7 out of 10

Four nice little-ish hills mostly linked together. Get up high and you can find some nice bowl and trees off-piste. Move around to a different mountain on the bus each day and you won't get bored. Accomodation was bargain-priced but nightlife pretty dull. Get up to the Dachstein Glacier and do the Austrian National Ski Tour over to Krippendorf or Hall - they featured in Warren Millers "Off the grid" so you know they're good. It'll take you about four hours and feature a few gentle uphill climbs but the views, the mountain refuges and the cruisy off-piste along the way make this a brilliant 20km+ run. You can buy bus tickets from the base station at Dachstein for the ride back. I'd definately go back.
