If you’re looking for quintessential Austria, where snow falls in abundance and strudels appear to grow on trees, then look no further than Oberlungau as this resort is as authentic as they come. Offering a wide range of accommodation and activities, it’s easy to see why school groups can’t stay away. All levels are catered for and thanks to a thoroughly modern lift system you’ll be able to take advantage of not one but three ski areas: Katschberg, Grosseck-Speiereck and Fanningberg. After excellent ski tutelage, wobbly legs will quickly develop confidence and in no time at all they’ll be leaving the nursery slopes and heading for the uncrowded and forgiving pistes of Fanningberg. The wide open reds of Katschberg present intermediates with more of a gradient and taking the 6km A1 all the way down to St Margarethen is quite possibly the best ride in the Alps. Thanks to an awesome new gondola, the Grosseck-Speiereck top station is achievable in less than 10 minutes and if you change your mind about skiing down, you can always get a return ticket. Après-ski is split between Tamsweg, St Michael and Mauterndorf so depending on what your group are into: bowling, swimming, ice-skating and snow-tubing, you’ll be able to mix and match to suit your mood. With a fun and varied off-slope entertainment programme already in place for school groups, Oberlungau really does scream: ‘what are you waiting for?’
