Great apartment in beautiful setting
We had a fantastic stay at the apartment in Woerth/Rauris. The accommodation is very well equipped, very spacious & clean and has everything you could possibly want/need whilst on holiday. The customer service provided by Andrew & Lisa was excellent; the entire booking process was seamless, and we were given lots of additional information which adds to a great holiday. Would definitely recommend this property to anyone who is looking for a relaxing and quiet holiday in the mountains.
Lovely apartment in beautiful valley
We ( 3 adults and 2 children of 12 and 15 years old) love the apartment, it's very comfortable, spacey and clean. We were lucky to have a lot of snow so the view was spectaculair and we had a lot of fun in the snow. The apartment was very guiet wich was very nice for us. In Rauris, wich is a 10 minutes drive, you can get your groceries. When you drive another 10 minutes in opposite direction you get a lovely view in the valley where we had lots and lots of snow.
I would certainly recommended this appartment to everyone (please leave a date open so we can go back :) )
I hope we can stay another time to in this apartment !
Great apartment
We had a great time, the apartment was spotless, more than big enough for a family of 4. Had a few lovely restaurants on its door step. The ski lift was a 5 min drive. Overall ticked all the boxes, would recommend.
Fabulous apartment
The apartment was perfect for our needs – spacious, clean, well maintained, warm and comfy, with every facility. It made our Christmas skiing holiday very special thank you. We particularly enjoyed the luxury of a bath to ease aching muscles – a bath is a rare commodity in a ski apartment. The views all around are also very pretty.
Andrew was easy to deal with, very friendly and helpful, generous with advice and responded promptly to all our questions so everything went smoothly.
All the locals we encountered were also friendly and helpful, including the lady in the downstairs flat, the ski hire shop staff, and staff in the local supermarket and mountain restaurants.
We would definitely recommend Rauris if you're looking for a small, friendly ski area – the skiing was great despite the lack of snowfall (except for Christmas Day when it snowed practically all day!) since the snow cannons kept the pistes covered, so we skied every day.
It was refreshingly quiet on the slopes too, we had the slopes almost to ourselves most of the time and never had to queue for any of the lifts.
Thanks again, we had a super time and would warmly recommend the apartment and Rauris to anyone.
Attractive apartment in a good location
This is a comfortable and attractive apartment in the Rauris valley which was not as busy with tourists as the neighbouring two valleys (Gastein, Kaprun). The other two, however, are easy to reach for more good walks if, like us, that's the primary reason for a summer visit.
For walking, a personal tip is to acquire, e.g. from Amazon, the Kompass maps 030 (Zell am See - Kaprun) and 040 (Bad Gastein) which cover all 3 valleys at a scale of 1:35 000.
Rauris has enough good shops to keep you supplied 7 days of the week. Andrew the owner wants you to enjoy your stay and was very helpful with personal suggestions and local tourist information.
For a modest additional cost you get good WiFi. Don't bother reading emails, use it to find good tourist info and enjoy your holiday.
We had a nice time.
Ski Holiday in Rauris
Apartment rented for 3+weeks and was ideal for a quiet spring brake, quiet location in the town of Wörth. Apartment is well appointed and fully equipped, clean and functional. Parking on site with friendly and helpful locals living down stairs. We enjoyed late spring skiing, hill walks and cycling in the valley. two good equipment rental shops in Rauris with friendly and helpful staff. Will go again.
Location
The Rauris valley is a popular location for both winter and summer activities. In winter, Rauris has family-friendly skiing with well-respected ski schools. The skiing area (950-2200m) with 33km of slopes offers something for all standards with typically uncrowded slopes. (Free ski bus 20m from apartment).
In the summer there is walking for all abilities along marked routes with regular refreshments stops. Mountain biking is also well catered for with a good network of marked routes for all standards. Rauris has a heated outdoor swimming pool in an elevated position providing swimming 'with a view', indoor and outdoor tennis courts, squash, paragliding and various sauna and wellness facilities. Horse riding, rafting and gold panning are all available nearby. The presence of bearded vultures and golden eagles within the valley provide an added attraction to visitors and further information is available from the bird information centre located next to the apartment.
Other Activities: ski touring, snowshoe hiking, canoeing, rafting, squash, winter mountain climbing, sledging, winter hiking
Golf: Nearest Golf course is Zell am See
