Hello All,

Are looking for a wonderful spring-time ski vacation in Austria?

We are working together with some wonderful people from Holland planning a fun and relaxed cooking on ice week in Flachau Austria. The accommodations are in a brand new luxury chalet in the heart of Austria’s largest ski region. Almost everything you could wish for is present…including some great food and company! There are currently 10 vacancies for the week of March 8th through the 15th. You can get some further details here: cooking on ice

If you are interested, please contact Jos or Arno directly via their web site (they both speak perfect English).

Even if not asked, here some recommendation:

Flachau is pretty flat, as the German word "flach" already tells. But if you are up to a more challenged ski route than Flachau (ok, it's just next door to the chalet), then I'd definitely recommend Zauchensee. You can get there from Flachau via A10 Tauernautobahn towards Villach and exit at Flachauwinkel (a bit more than 10km from Flachau). Usually there is also free public transportation for these routes.

In Flachauwinkel you have the choice to do Flachauwinkel+Kleinarl (right side; good for borders as they have half-pipes and fun parks at the Kleinarl side) or Flachauwinkel+Zauchensee (left side; including the famous Kälberloch [if you watch women's downhill race]).

Take care when you buy a ski-pass for a week, because they are available for Flachau-only or for the complete Ski-Amade area. Need to have the right one to do changes of hills.

... ah yes, and if you stay at the Flachau hills, try the (free) bus on the Wagrain side at the bottom of the hill to the other side of Wagrain (about 10min) and you end up in a 3-mountain area that takes you until St. Johann.

However, Flachau is the way to go if it comes to Aprés Ski.

Sort of ironic that it's a Dutch group going there..
