Gargellen is a wonderful village with great snow and a really good ski school. Ideal for us because I am a beginner and my husband is an off-piste man. We meet at the schaffberg mountain restaraunt for lunch and both get so much out of this resort. We stay at the Bradabella Hotel which is fantastic and just love Gargellen.
