Accessibility
A car is strongly recommended as hotel is 20 min uphill walk from village. Wheelchair users will have no problems within the hotel. There is a lift to the apartment, and doors are suitably wide. The balcony has a small lip (access via a patio style door) but has presented no problems in the past. Owner has mobility issues
Outside
Pool is located in the hotel complex, 3 floors down, as is the sauna, ski & boot room. Also you can hire skis and mountain bikes from the hotel (or at the sport shop in the village - all can be arranged via the hotel reception).
Skiing
The hotel is close to the Dachstien West ski-area. A free ski bus leaves the town square every 30 minutes during the daytime (8am - 6pm). When the hotel is open, there is a shuttle bus which operates 2 or 3 times a day and connects to the ski-bus.
Special interest holidays
Mountain biking excellent - major events are based in the village, with many competitors staying in the hotel.
Travel
Nearest airport is Salzburg approx. 1.5 hour by car/coach. The 150 bus from Salzburg railway station leaves every hour and costs approx 10 Euros. You can also fly to Linz and catch a train (very scenic!) which takes approx 2 hours and costs 15 euros.
Salzburg and Linz are served by Ryanair from London Stansted.
NEW - Thomson Fly operate a daily service to Salzburg from Coventry and London Gatwick - return flights can cost as little as £40 including taxes!
Distances
The apartment is very near to the world-famous Ice Caves and Salt Mines at Hallstadt. These are very popular and are a 10 minute drive or train ride away. The view from the cable-car is awesome.
The picturesque areas of St. Wolfgang and Fuschl are a 30 minute bus ride away.
Further details
Locally (in the village) there are many bars, supermarkets, shops and banks. Walking down to the village in summer is very recommended, especially via the paths through the forest! Take a look at the local webcam http://goiserncam.weti.net/local/viewer/index.shtml.

Guest comments
'We enjoyed the comforts of your apartment and found the terrace with it's superb view our favourite spot. Moreover, thanks to mostly wonderful weather we were able to savour the delights of the surrounding area, hiking around lakes and up-and-down mountains. We had a great time and will recommend - without any reservations - your apartment to any friend thinking of visiting that part of the world!" Ms. L Peys, Oxfordshire.
'Dear Anne, Many thanks for a most enjoyable holiday. The apartment and the area were everything we could have hoped for!' David, Edinburgh.
Everything was perfect! It was my first time in Dachstein but definitely not last. We have been skiing every day in Gosau and relaxing after active day in sauna & Pool. Kamil.
Owner profile
About the owner
Hello, my name is Anne Byard. I have been married to Mike for 37 years (I think), we have two adult children Anni (Annaliese after whom the apartment is named) and Ed, both good skiers. I have worked in the UK charity fundraising sector for 30 years but recently made redundant so set up my own consultancy. Badly injured in a car accident in 2006 means I can't use the apartment for hiking holidays as planned, so happy for others to enjoy it!
Year purchased: 2005
