Stayed in the Hotel Madrisa in March 2006 with family - the hotel, although not cheap, it was worth every penny - very good service, friendly, accommodating, great facilities and lovely old world Austrian Alpine feel. The resort is very small but there are other resorts nearby. However, there is no connection by ski lift. Very attractive low key village with good snow due to its high altitude.
