Hi all

Hopefully somebody out there will have experience of the ski school in Scheffau, as the snow has started falling the wife is obviousy getting VERY excited :oops: and wants to know of anyone's experiences, good or bad.

Thanks in advance.

I will 'come clean'. I own and run guest house/chalet in Radstadt within Ski Amadé.

This doesn not mean that the information I have to offer is rubbish or bias. There was, of course a reason for me to move to this area and that is the fact that the area is awesome!

So please don't cut me down as I live here and run a business. The UK market is quite small compared to the other countries within Europe but I can only write in English so like to use English speaking forums!

Also some info on Radstadt if you can. Is it difficult to shop/cook with the kids in tow if we self cater? I am having trouble finding something in my budget if we go half board as we normally do

Radstadt has about 4500 guest beds in the winter. It is a quiet and family orientated town.
The local mountain in Radstadt has a ski school, nursery slope and an 8 man gondola. for 2009/10 there is also going to be a new cafe/aprés bar at the base of the lift.... don't know much more about that yet as it isn't open yet!

The mountain is quite small and can offer a learner group a weeks worth of skiing. For more experienced skiers/ridersit may be a little limited after day 2. But at the base of the Altenmarkt side of the mountain you can get regular shuttle buses up to Zauchensee which is huge and awesome! The ski school here is run by Michi Walchofers' father!

Zauchensee links into Flachau Winkl, (via a comedy shuttle train tractor thing). The winks also links into Kleinarl... from Kleinarl you can grab a shuttle bus down to Wagrain... and Wagrain links into Alpendorf.

Radstadt also offers regular busaccess to Flachau, Fageralmand Reiteralm.

Radstadt has a Penny Markt, Spa, M-Preis and a Hofer/Aldi. So there are plenty of places to grab stuff in normal priced supermarkets. The bars and restaurants are genrally quite quiet (even in peak season) so it is ot a good place for party aprés!

Anyhow... there is a bit about Radstadt...

can't see what the problem is really, if people have an interest in a prticular resort be it through a business or the fact they have been going for the last 20 years then they are entitled to an opinion. I'm quite sure that were all intelligent enough to formulate our own opinios.

There are far too many wannabe admins on here sometimes, i'm surprised that Tony H and Dave Mac haven't been castrated for there obvious enthusiasm of both Mayrhofen and Niederau yet :shock:
