This is a fantastic family resort. We ski all over Europe with our 3 children and we come back to this resort at least once a year (for the last 10 years). It's quiet, it's got a lot of very good runs and it's good value (not cheap but you get value for money). The snow fall is reliable and frequent. If you want nightlife go to St Anton. Come here if you want a great week of skiing in a friendly well run clean safe resort with good lifts and decent mountain restaurants which will not bankrupt you go to Brand

I first came here 25 years ago as a 12 year old boy with my father. I have now returned with my daughter who is only 3 and skiing for the first time. Brand is a superb little Austrian resort with fantastic facilities for children. We stayed at the 4 star Sporthotel Beck which has a excellent kids club and is part of the Kinder hotels group. With a nursery slope in the village, horse riding, sledging, quad biking and an excellent kids club. Brand is ideal for beginners and intermediate skiers. There are a some good apres bars and some nice restaurants, but don't come here for mad apres-ski as you wont find it - head to St Anton or Ischgl for that. Although like many resorts in Austria the village is quite low we had plenty of snow and some great powder days. So if you are a first time skier or are taking the kids and are looking for a quaint little Austrian resort - head to Brandnertal.

This area of Austria is fantastic. In winter or summer there are always a large amount of activities to take part in and sights to see. The views of the area are some of the best in the alpine region. Visit in summer and you can ride the ski lifts to some of the highest points and then take a walk back down to ground level whilst taking in some amazing views. Cameras are essential as there are a lot of good photographic opportunities. There are many traditional villages and farms in the local area that always welcome visitors. This area is ideal for visitors of al ages as there are so many attractions. The surrounding area provides a good home for many different types of wild life that are easily seen from the ski lifts.
