Yep been twice a few years ago, nice little village, bit quiet, but after a day on the slopes sometimes all you want to do is chill. Nursery slopes in village good and accessible, with a ski store hut right by the side of them, and place for your boots too. Next lot of slopes in village a bit steeper, but still manageable. Then there is the bus to the Steinplatte, which is a high open bowl of snow, some long chairs but great for cruising (and crashing!) and you also have the bus to St Johann in Tyrol, Fieberbrunn and the other resorts on your pass - 10 in all if I remember rightly. A good variety and both our trips were with Thomson on a ski all inclusive, we stayed at the Marliesenhof. Very friendly, good for different groups, ski school is a good laugh (if you see Seppi, excellent instructor, esp the day he took us off piste - laugh!! it was nearly a brown run!!) There are a few shops and bars, but the Alphof at the bottom of the nursery slopes does good food and beer, so nice if it is sunny. Highly recommend a massage at the Wellness Centre in the village - book it for 4.30 when you have finished!

Good fun and happy memories (esp of a friend who was learning, shot past me shouting 'I'm like the runaway train' and then found he could not stop without falling over!) :D
Rather a bad day on the slopes than a good day in the office!
