Really pleasant, quiet village. Ideal for those who enjoy a quiet drink in local bars & restaraunts without 'tourist events'. Skiing on the Krippenstein is good off-piste, lift-pass includes Dachstein West (short transfer) 140km of intermediate piste. Stay at the Obertrauner Hof, centre of village; good quality clean & friendly. Overall, ideal for those that don't want the crowds, but no compromise on the skiing!!
