Perfect, because directly opposite our child-friendly hotel is the brand new Panorama mountain railway, which will take you and your kids quickly and comfortably to the family-friendly Großarl-Dorfgastein ski area.
Here, more than 70 kilometres of perfectly groomed slopes are waiting to be conquered by you.

There is also plenty of food and drink on offer on the slopes – numerous huts await you along the slopes, inviting you to stop for refreshments and enjoy the sunshine.
This is skiing in Austria's largest ski association: Ski amadé. And when you and your children have had enough of whizzing down the slopes, it's easy to return to your family hotel Nesslerhof: follow the ‘Rodelberg’ descent to the valley station of the cable car, cross the road once and voilà – you are already at the door of your hotel.
What Activities Await Beyond the Slopes at Hotel Nesslerhof?
But what would a family winter holiday in Salzburg be without sledging, ice skating or a leisurely winter walk? In Grossarl, there are plenty of things to do off the slopes too: 2 sledging hills, a free ice skating area and around 35km of winter hiking trails await you.
