Austrian location for beginners and good skiers

Just to echo the comments of previous posts - we stayed in Filzmoos this year - really pretty - great runs - good for beginners; went to Flachau on skibus (20 mins)

Flachau might be a good bet to stay in - - excellent lift systems - lots of lovely wide open runs - from Flachau (and Flauchauwinkl 5 mins on Ski bus) you can ski into other villages and then go up again - so no need to spend a lot of time on the bus.

Flauchau had some nice nursery/easy areas near the top.

Filzmoos was beautiful village with lots of character.

good suggestion, nice place, good variation of terrain and a great snow record.

if only only the odd drag lift seems to keep away the riff-raff

Obergurgl's no more expensive than anywhere else in Austria of course, I can't speak for what some UK tour operator charges obviously.

Perhaps lift companies in Europe could be persuaded to install lots more.It could be a new spectator sport.
Personally, I like my drag lifts really odd
