Latest ski resort reviews

The snow is usually perfect in Hauser Kaibling / 4-Berge-Skischaukel. The lift system is first class for the whole area. You would have to ski very fast to get from Haus to Reiteralm and back in one day. Some steep red and black runs are testing over in Schladming whilst the skiing at Haus is more gentle for less able skiers. Loads of mountain huts and restaurants to choose from at lunchtime.

The skiing was brilliant, but it is not aimed at beginners, the blue runs are more like red runs and the method of grading is arbitrary. The scenery is great and it is one of the sunniest resorts in the Alps. Because the village and skiing are at a high altitude you are sure to have snow. I would deffinately recommend this resort for the scenery and the weather, not so much the skiing in itself.

The skiing area is not huge but provides a good variety for all intermediate skiers and we experienced no queues at any time. Pistes aren particularly steep , but there are long ( 1700 m vertical) runs to the village and some steeper pitches on Itineraries and alongside pistes. The off-piste opportunities are limited to some extent by the glaciated nature of the higher slopes but there was plenty of fun to be had.
