Visitor Reviews of Flachau


Steve from UNITED KINGDOM writes:

Great area at centre of "Ski Amade", the largest single pass ski area in Austria (0ver 860km of runs, 270 lifts) . Not known in the UK and very underrated by British skiers, but well known among Germans, Dutch and Scandinavians. Great variety of slopes and more than enough directly above the village to keep most people busy for a week, and the huge Ski Amade area will keep the most adventurous happy. Best option is flight to Salzburg, which is only 40 mins away, by taxi or rental car. Munich is just over 2 hours. If you want to tour the surrounding area rental car best option, otherwise taxi from Salzburg is good. Ryanair, Thomsonfly and others now serving Salzburg make this a great combination of first class ski area, very near airport and low cost flights.
Known locally for its reliable snow. For example at Xmas 2006, when most of the alps were struggling people were being bused to this area from others. Skied here at Easter 2006 on a metre of snow right into the village.
This area was picked over Kitzbuehel for the Alpine skiing events in Salzburg's 2014 Winter Olympic bid - which tells you something about the quality of slopes and reliability of snow.
