Location & area recommendations

General;
Carinthia is less known in Dutch as the winter goes. This is probably because the slightly further away as all the famous resorts on the north side of the Alps.
It is for us something in return;

- In general, there is a lot quieter on the slopes during the Apresski.
- The prices are clearly lower
- The climate is a lot better. (Many more hours of sunshine, even in winter)
