Any suggestions?
Thanks,

Mayrhofen is a great resort but there can be some queues unless you get to the gondola nice and early in the morning. Other good family choices would be Kaprun or Zell am See

thanks a lot

I think Fügen and Hochfügen in Zillertal are great for kids. Easy slopes and not that many queues.

Lech at that time of year, or Obergurgl.
Not cheap, but guaranteed skiing, and great cruises and family orientated places.

Im going to Mayhrhofen at the end of March was there in Febuary last year during half term decided it was that good im gonna return. some fantastic skiing on the ziller Pass well recommended!!!!!

Early this month I visited a couple of resorts not geared to tourists, and probably not many have heard of, Kuhtai and Axamer Lizums, both quite high. Well under an hour from Innsbruck airport. Competitive prices. And I really like the fact pistes are not busy, it seems much safer. Axamer Lizums is a former olympic resort, the cafe at the top has fantastic architecture, advertising evening folk music sometimes, and a long blue as well as several reds. Kuhtai has a free kiddie lift also open to adults which would have helped me in my first days learning. In fact it was there I put skis on for the first time in my life, but just before the 2007 season, when everything was still closed.

There is accommodation in these resorts bang on the piste valley stations, but the downside is of course is the lack of a nice town to hang out in during the evenings. A few hotels and that's it. Or you could go back to Innsbruck at night (free bus / rented car). So if a nice resort town is imporant I could not recommend them.

The alternative of staying in Innsbruck and using the free buses to dot around the various resorts within an hour could be nice if you are not determined to spend the whole day on piste. I could not ski all day, I get tired and it would be dangerous. Probably you can do the same in Salzburg, stay in a very beautiful town and dot around resorts. Within an hour's drive of Ibk you have a wealth of resorts, some famous. Obergurgl is probably a good hour. One resort, Nordketter, has a cable car right into town from the valley station, starts beside Innsbruck's main concert hall, opposite the theatre. I never skied there, there is part for kids but it is mainly reds, and the top bit is for experts only.

Thanks everybody
