  Just had a fantastic weeks skiing in Filzmoos, with no lift queues, great conditions, good food and wonderful hosts: Rob & Bev at Haus Spencer. Their chalet is located near to the slopes and shops and is ideally placed for all the local amenities.
  The skiing is best for intermediates, but beginners will find the ski schools very professional, with no big groups so you'll get excellent personal attention.
  We've already booked with the Spencer's for next year. Can't wait!!!

  I'm visiting Filzmoos next week. I highly recommend the bus trip to Flacawinkl. I normally prefer to travel on the local buses and experience a bit of local culture rather than travelling on the ski buses.

  I love to ski but I can't turn. Apparently, Filzmoos only has straight slopes so I won't need to turn.

  Going to Filzmoos for the 4th time in 3 years next week.
  Staying at Haus Reynolds where Dean and Max are perfect hosts at very fair prices.
  Filzmoos is perfect for learning and practising on well groomed quiet slopes, even during half term and Easter!!!
  For more advanced skiers: you can hop on to a bus for 25 mins and ski Flachau, which has more difficult slopes, and also Flacawinkl where you can ski over to Zauchansee. This year we are planning to ski over to Wagrain. There are 15 of us and a horse going so should be a challenge!!!

  Just back from Filzmoos after spending a week at the hotel Alpenkrone and have to say we really enjoyed every minute. The hotel was fantastic, situated a few minutes walk from the village. Staff, food and rooms were really good but the best bit has to be the scenery and the skiing. My wife and I did the intermediates ski school and our 10 year old daughter did an intermediates kids school. The instructors were superb, especially Regina of the Filzmoos ski school. It was almost one on one tuition due to the interest Regina showed to each member of our group. After a hard days skiing, you must visit the Happy Filzmoos bar for some apres-ski, the atmosphere is brilliant. What can I say, it's great, so go. We will most certainly be going back.

  We have been going to Filmoos, Austria for the past 2 years and plan to go for our third time in a couple of weeks. We stay at Haus Reynolds and Dean and Maxine and their family are fantastic. It has been my little boys birthday and they really make an effort putting up banners and balloons and letting all the children eat chocolate birthday cake. We have skied at various places throughout Europe over the past 20 years but I can honestly say Filzmoos is so safe and friendly and a really perfect place to take children to learn to ski. This year we intend to go to the glacier nearby and to other nearby resorts which are all reached with ten to fifteen minutes by car. Lots of lovely places to eat too in the village.

  I had a great time in Filzmoos. This year it struggled with the lack of snow but to be honest the conditions were still good and my last Saturday there was fantastic with a beautiful day and hardly anyone on the slopes! It is a small village with lots of charm and something for everyone. The resort runs are a little limited and mainly suit beginners but the two final slopes into the resort are quite steep unless you can find the cut through the woods that brings you on the Nursery slopes for a gentle cruise in. If you want variety then there is a bus that goes to Flachau which is about 15KMs away and this is a much larger resort with a lot more variety. Finally, I stayed at a Chalet called "Haus Reynolds" and the owners Dean and Maxine were both superb and couldnt do enough for us. I would definitely stay there again!

  Filzmoos is a great little village. I have been once (last Feb half term) and the snow was fantastic. It snowed heavily all day every day which wasn't great, but it meant there wasn't a problem with dodgy snow conditions or anything. I am returning there in 10 days time (11th Feb). As far as nightlife goes the resort is fairly limited but for some fun, head to the Kalahari Bar or the Happy Filzmoos bar/restaurant. The resort is good for beginners and early intermediates. Advanced skiers would find it limiting, although there are some good black runs to be found in the neighbouring resorts like Ramsau and Schladming, which have the Dachstein mountain nearby. I highly recommend Filzmoos, it has great Austrian charm!

  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

  Filzmoos is a lovely little village.We went in Jan 2005 and had great snow. No lift queues and the slopes, though limited, are good for early intermediates which is what we are. Stayed in Hotel Unterhof. Top Class! Great food, friendly staff and superb leisure facilities (pool, sauna etc).Night life very quiet but some decent Apres in the Happy Filzmoos bar at the base of the slopes. We are going back to Filzmoos and same hotel in Jan 2006.

  Have visited Filzmoos for the last three years and will return - that says it all! Excellent for intermediate skiers, few lift queues, very pretty and close transfer to Salzberg airport.

  I visited in January and the snow was fantastic. The ski-bus is regular but the piste is very limited. Anything above intermediate level would soon run out of options. However, the resort is fantastically pretty and reasonably priced
