Flachau is a village about 50kms South East of Salzburg and is the at the very heart of Ski Amade - Austria's largest skiing group - boasting 5 top regions and 25 skiing destinations. One ticket is all you need to experience the Ski Amade - with a total of 860 kilometres of slopes and 270 lifts. The Snow Space Bus can take you directly from the local stop to any one of the lower stations. The Ski-bus leaves every 15 min. daily from 8.15 - 18.00. The Bus is free for all skiers!

The resort of Flachau is famous for the great range of highly diverse, beautifully groomed pistes that surround the town. The skiing is perfect for intermediate skiers, although beginners are magnificently catered for too. There are in fact 860km of slopes across three valleys, so you should have no problems in finding a suitable challenge. Flachau has bred two world champions, including the legendary downhill skier, Hermann Maier, and there is even a permanently timed run for those wishing to add a little competition to their skiing holiday.       

The village has all you would require for a holiday; fantastic scenery, skiing on your doorstep, plenty of winter or summer walks, a variety of bars, restaurants and supermarkets all within walking distance.

Away from the slopes there are a huge range of winter activities to enjoy from a self catering Flachau holiday rental. Many of the summer hiking trails that have made Flachau a year round resort are open for winter hiking expeditions and snow shoe hiking, and you can find excellent facilities for snow tubing, tobogganing or ice skating.

The Flachau area is a magnificent destination for walking holidays during the summer months, taking you through thick pine forests, along stunning Alpine ridges and to incredibly picturesque alpine lakes. There is an extensive network of walking and mountains biking trails crossing the landscape, giving you almost endless possibilities for walking, from short, post-lunch strolls to the kind of hikes which may well require a high degree of mountaineering knowledge and ability. Information on the many routes and their suitability is available from the Flachau Tourist Offices. The Enns Cycle path, which leads all the way to the River Danube, runs just behind the property.
