I've been here twice, and got great conditions, inexpensive gear rental (didn't bring my gear from…read morethe US) and not overcrowded slopes both times. The lift ticket was €41 during the high season, but the gear rental was only €28 for the day at InterSports. If you are looking to do a lesson though, check in with the ski school because lesson + rental packages might be available. That might have been a good deal for my first-time-skier friend. I didn't love the staff at InterSports, who weren't particularly friendly (except for one guy who sets bindings, but whose English wasn't great - German & Italian are your best options in this shop, though at the ski school they seemed much more comfortable with English & more prepared for assisting English-speakers). They kept my driver's license for collateral for my skis and failed to return it to me when I brought my skis back - which of course I didn't realize until I was almost an hour away & exhausted. Wound up having to have it mailed to me by a friend. The trails are great, and there's an intricate system of lifts, gondolas & tows to get you all around the mountain. There is a very big selection of intermediate trails (I prefer reds & blues myself, and don't see a huge difference between the two). I usually stay off of the expert trails - I know my limits! Lol! But haven't ever gotten bored because of the large numbers of red trails. Overall, a great mountain!!

Directly located next in the middle of the ski region Katschberg (70km) you just get out of your apartment and start to ski. Free kids daycare is great too (Bolo club) and my favorite is free internet (although sometime last year they ran out of connections) and second the parking garage so no need to dig out your car when you leave :-) In the summer we go out exploring the great nature around here, waterfalls, lots of hiking trails, horseback riding for my daughter and much more.

The ski Amade is the premier place with the Papageno gondola to the top. The view from up there is truly spectacular and supposed to be one of the best in the country and officially the best in Salzburger Land. It's truly amazing and we took a 10-11k walk in the snow up top and at 1755m you have a gorgeous old Karhütte with one table and a mean hot chocolate mixed with cherry rum. If you don't speak German getting information up top is a bit more tricky. I would highly recommend a trip to the top and have a good look around it's truly amazing.
