Katschberg??

I am going to Katschberg on the 26/01 with my husband and 5 year old daughter. Has anyone been to Katschberg? What can we expect? Will the snow be good? We are staying at the Hotel Cristallo.

hi, never been so couldn't comment but check out this website http://www.katschberg.at you can change the language in the top right hand corner, although there has been no snow since 17/12/07 the temps are plenty cold enough for them to manufacture if they need to, typically -6 during the day. There's a couple of webcams on there also so you can check the conditions right up til when you leave :!:

Hope you have a good time.

Katschberg is a great little resort for a family, especially with younger children like your daughter. It's very family friendly so I am sure you will all have a great time.

It's got a greta snow record and the grooming was very good on my visit so I wouldn't worry about that.

Can't comment on your hotel but it's a lovely little village which is cute and friendly and safe for your daughter. Most of the buildings are traditional austrian chalet style.

The skiing is not massively extensive, but it's quite varied, and there's enough to keep you busy! You can choose to ski on either side of the village - the Carinthian side or the Salzburgerland side. The Salzburg side is bigger, with more chair lifts and some long runs down towards St Michael. The Carinthia side is shorter runs which mainly end up at or near the village again. there's a travellator in between the two sides so not far to walk!

You will have a great time :D.

Thanks everyone for your comments they have been really useful. We are all very excited and look forward to another year on the slopes.
