What to do and see in Carinthia, Austrian Alps: The Best Sports Camps & Clinics

Reviewed By robinrJ6130DV - Belvedere, United Kingdom

We had a week here and found the skiing to be good. The piste map was inaccurate with it showing blue runs that turned out to be red ones when you got to them and plenty of the red runs were steeper than the couple of blacks on offer. The long pistes on the north of the resort were brilliant, offering something for all but beginners. If driving I would suggest parking at the bottom of the cable car (free parking) and catch the cable car up as it is included in your lift pass. The windows are scratched unfortunately but you can still see the amazing views even if photos are doubtful. If you drive up to the top of the cable car and park there you have to pay an €8 fee to use the access road. So it’s cheaper to just ride up each day. The ski school also has storage lockers with heaters for boots that can be rented for €8 a day for a big one. (4 people’s kit) so you don’t have to drag your gear up and down each day. The views from the top are amazing in a good day and the lifts quick and well placed. All of the staff we met spoke good English and were helpful they did not put themselves out but did everything that was requested without any issues. There are also a few small lockers at the base of the main lift from the top of the cable car available for €1 but you need to repay each time you open them, these can hold a fair size bag with room for coats and gear as you get warmer during the day. Rather than carrying everything all day.
