Advantages: Childcare, ski school Disadvantages: smallish
Right, I think I came here when I was about 9, it was my second ski trip, and my first holiday without my parents. We stayed in the Snoiw White hotel, and only had to cross the road to get to ski school.
The hotel was quite good, with great food, and excellent child care. However I remember the kindergarten as being horrible. I'm sure the ladies there were mean to me :( lol.

From there we took a bus into the city centre, and then two trains to Radstadt. ... ...and loaded all our luggage (including skis) into the back of the minibus they had sent for us. So it wasn't a quick journey but it wasn't that hard and was very efficient.
The resort is situated on a pass which kind of runs parallel to the main Salzburg / Villach motorway, and driving south from the village you end up in Carinthia (Kaernten), Austria's most southerly province.
We stayed at the hotel Wisenegg, which is 2km out of town (on the Salzburg ...
