Outstanding resort, free wifi on the mountain and a free app for smart phones makes tracking your day fun.
Huge ski area, however as always these days you get the idiot speed skiiers shooting down the blue runs when ideally they should stick to the red and black. Too many people, biglift queues, ski school meeting place for Hermann Maeir was just carnage!
Great place to come and ski with the whole family. Good slopes for all abilities and easy to get about.
We come here every year and never get bored. The weather is generally good and the skiing caters for all abilities.
Skied in Alpendorf, Wagrain, Flachau, Bad Hofgastein, Angertal and Stubnerkogel.During week 12 the weather was somewhat "summer"-like, since in the valleys it was +22 degrees celcius. This meant that the slopes were filled with slush in direct sunlight from the very beginning in the morning. Only Jungeralmbahn in Stubnerkogel was still really good around noon and slopes around the lift were a bit more demanding then e.g. in Slochssalm. Maybe the best slope was the red one beneath Senderbahn on Stubnerkogel.Angertals linking slopes were almost melted away, so can't really say anything good about those. Slochssalm was totally slush and there were 2 slow chair and one express chair which was closed due technical malfunction so didn't like it at all - Could I choose again I'd go to Dorfgastein where I've been before and stay in the Gipfelexpress Fulseck (length 1028m / difference 379m) which was really nice lift with superb slopes around!Flachau was also heavily slushed due morning sun everyday, but the tops of Wagrain and Alpendorf were also nice, though a bit too short or easy.Der Rote 8ter Gondola with its winterworld WAS superb for families - 4 lifts with slopes, lots of snow toys, etc and A BASE-building fitted for Childcare (full kitchen, toilet, baby nyrsery corner, playroom filled with toys)! Just perfect and "easy" access with the Gondola - to the midstation.
This ski area has lots to offer, lots of interlinked valleys, good choice of nursery slopes on the Wagrain side, plenty of mountain huts and good choice of cuisine both on and off slope.
Good area for intermediates, there are not many blacks and few beginner runs. Dorfgastein area very good for a a day ski over to Grobarl.
The Ski Amade in St Johann im Pongau / Alpendorf must surely rate amongst the worlds best. It never dissappoints!Snow conditions were perfect and if you don't ski try your hand at tabogganing - what a great experience. A family holiday at its best.
Good skiing access and area with reasonable variety of runs. Great free wifi at stations. Surprisingly not very busy when we visited and great conditions.
All the ski lifts, gondolas and all things to do with the ski process are clean, efficient and very well run
