On the border of Kärnten and East-Tirol lies the small, but snow-guaranteed ski-resort of Turracher Höhe, situated on the edge of the superb mountain lake Turracher See. In winter, this lake usually freezes over, and becomes a great setting for all sorts of winterish activities, such as skating and cross-country skiing. Retire to your own chalet in the evening after an active day in the snow. Being small and little known, this area offers great prices and no queues and has enough skiing for a week for beginners and less experienced intermediates. Perfect for families and ideal to drive to avoiding the huge expense of French tolls.
