Nassfeld is a gem of a resort in the sunny province of Carinthia which most Brits have only recently started discovering. |
|
The resort is less than fifteen years old and as such boasts a state of the art lift system including five cable cars, three six-seater chair lifts, four four-seater chair lifts and 18 drag lifts add up to a capacity of 44,000 people per hour. Queues at the lifts? What are you talking about?!
 
The Millennium Express gondola is the longest in Europe and takes just 17 minutes to transport you to an altitude in excess of 2,000m. From here you will experience stunning views of both the Austrian and Italian Alps and have access to 110km of snow sure pistes to suite all levels including runs into Italy. Most Austrians stay on the piste so you can also rely on great off piste conditions even several days after snow.
There resort has a well maintained park including a half pipe, kickers, table tops, boxes and a snow cross park which was the venue of the 2004 Junior World Championships. Next winter (2010/11) sees the completion of construction of a brand new super park!
 
At après time the resort has 14 mountain restaurants and bars where you can enjoy the famous Austrian hospitality, cuisine and also sample dishes from nearby Italy and Slovenia. There are plenty of lively après ski bars you can visit as you make your way down the mountain and offers great value for food and drink compared with many alpine resorts (3 Euros a pint!)
