Went to Bad Hofgastein on Good Friday for a week. We went there in 2007 and returned because it's a beautiful town, and the Alpen Therme baths are amazing. It snowed on Easter Sunday, but the snow lower down was nearly gone by the end of the week. I would say there were definitely enough runs to keep most skiers happy. The ski buses are free and very useful. The ski school was excellent and our five year old was going up in cable cars/chair lifts by the end of our week and skiing down happily. We used Angertal as our base station and it has had a lot of investment and is beautifully designed. We stayed at the Pension Heuberger in an apartment and it was very good, spotlessly clean and good value. The restaurant at the Hotel Zur Post was particularly good. Flew in to Salzburg and booked a private transfer with austria-limousine; Erich was helpful and efficient and this was by far the best value transfer we could find to take a family of four plus ski gear, without having to take trains/coaches. After skiing in Switzerland (Crans-Montana, Torgon) in 2008 & 2009, Austria felt like good value and all the people we dealt with and met during the week were lovely. Next year - Italy but we'll definitely return to Bad Hogastein!
