Update to my previous review. The Snowspace Flachau completed the link to Kleinarl last summer. This new Panoramabahn increases the pistes to over 210km spread across the villages of Alpendorf, Wagrain, Flacahu, Kleinarl and Zauchensee. New uplifts in Wagrain have increased capacity in the middle of Snowspace so it is quick and easy to get on the mountains.

Ok, hands up, we run an apartment business in Flachau but I can't believe the most recent review is Jan 12! Well, what's changed since then? Firstly, Flachau is fully linked to Wagrain/Alpendorf by the G-Link which means you have over 180km of piste without using bus links. The investment in lifts is second to none with most heated, fast and rarely are you waiting. There is a plan to further link to Kleinarl in the next year or two to further extend the skiing. Pistes are always well maintained with plenty of snow cannons if snow is bit thin. The Ski Amade lift pass covers over 860km of skiing.
Like most of the Austrian resorts the on-piste restaurants and the apres is fantastic and around 15% cheaper than comparable French/Swiss resorts. The town is quite compact with loads of good eateries and shops if you're self-catering and at only 45 mins from Salzburg Airport, very short transfers.

We visited Flachau-Reitdorf, (which is one of the major centres of the "Ski Amade" region in Austria) from 31st December to 7th January 2012 and had a superb time. The resort benefits from being a short 50 minutes drive from Salzburg airport, so by catching an early flight on the Saturday, we were skiing by noon and at the end of the holiday we were still on the slopes at 13.00, still with plenty of time to catch the 16.25 flight home! 8 days skiing for a week's trip - excellent value!!
Very little snow had fallen across the Alps until mid December 2011, so I was worried we would be hill walking rather than enjoying skiing, but the resort website gave a categoric "100% snow guarantee", so I felt more optimistic, especially whenever the temperature dropped, they turned on their extensive network of snow cannons. So luckily when we arrived there was loads of snow (170cm at the top and 70cm in the resort). The pistes were immaculately groomed, with one or two black run pistes deliberately left untouched so that you could enjoy the powder snow conditions.
The ski pass was pricey, 256 euros for 8 days skiing, but the ticket does allow you to enjoy up to 860 km of pistes and 270 lifts in the “ski Amade” region that includes the ski resorts of Wagrain, Filzmoos, Zauchensee, Flachauwinkl, Kleinarl, Schladming and 18 other ski centres!
We stayed in a self catering apartment in Reitdorf, (about 2 km from the slopes), with a lovely family, Theresa and Patrick Pilcher (haus.rupert.pichler@sbg.at ) We used a hire car to get to Flachau-Reitdorf from the airport and also to access the other nearby ski centres. Despite all the snow falling whilst we were there, the Austrians are brilliant at clearing the roads throughout the day and night, so there is no problem driving to the ski slopes which all have large, well organised (free) parking. The only down-side of Flachau-Reitdorf appeared to be the free ski-bus system that appeared to be a little slow and inconsistent, especially during the middle of the day, so overall I would strongly recommend hiring a car from the airport.
Flachau-Reitdorf is not a high altitude resort, so there is always concern about enough snow, but as mentioned above, the use of snow cannons in the resort is verging on obsessive. For example, despite 40cm of snow falling one day when we were there, they still turned the snow cannons on! The pistes are mostly red and blue runs with a few black runs, so the resort generally suits intermediate but also ski beginners. If you are a true "black run junky" there are areas of off-piste to keep you entertained, but there is no hiding from the fact that the resort has a shortage of black runs.
Overall, we had a superb family holiday and whole heartedly recommend Flachau-Reitdorf to you.

Visited Flachau (Flachau-Reitdorf) in Jan 2008 after a 6 year gap from skiing. Fantastic skiing and so much sunshine. Some fantastic long runs - blues that just go on forever. If the fog sets in, just hop on the bus and go round the valley to the other slopes. Stayed at Hotel Hartl - an excellent hotel with fab food and service.

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.

lovely area for beginners and intermediates
ski pass includes altenmarkt,flachau,wagrain,flachauwinkl and zauchensee
zauchensee high snowsure but with some narrow areas approaching base station can be icy
easier if you have a car otherwise long trip on bus
the rest all lower but have had good snow 6 years on trot in mid February.
Lovely wide pistes flanked by trees
mainly chairs and gondolas but some drags in flachau
lovely mountain restaurants everywhere
but transport still required between areas
Usual travel arrangements flight into Munich and then hire car to local hotels
(no brochure holidays)
also possible to fly to Salzburg

Flachau is easily accessible from Salzurg and if you book Ryanairs early flight out and late flight back to Stanstead you can add an extra two days on the slopes to the normal 6
Flachau is great for beginners and intermediates but it is definately worth trying the ski bus to Flachauwinkle (approx 20mins)All included within your ski pass here you can ski over to Zauchensee which is higher and has more challenging slopes.
