I was very worried about such a late holiday this year, but all was well. The snow was showing signs of wear and tear but perfectly skiable, especially higher up and away from the sunny valley floor - helped by overnight top-ups. Using the travel pass, it was easy to plan interesting circuits and to link trails together to feel almost intrepid. My ski equipment was particularly good this year and the advice to have boots that were two sizes up from my shoe size was well worth listening to. No black toenails this year! The hotel was a comfortable place to return to each day and the staff were cheerful and friendly. Meals were generous and excellent although I sadly took little advantage of the light lunch and afternoon cakes. The leisure facilities were comprehensive (pool was a bit chilly) and the various saunas kept the aches and pains at bay.
High points: sitting on my very generous balcony in the late afternoon sunshine, after a satisfying day on the trails
To watch out for: The local bus timetable. The dreaded star in the column indicates that the MOST useful buses don't run after the beginning of March
In view of the huge snow thickness, terrific work had been put in by the locality to ensure that the 143 km of winter walking paths were fully accessible for walkers. Generally good signposting throughout. It is a great area for winter walking - lovely scenery, good bus network, cracking paths, plenty of refreshment stops and not at all busy if you stay in the Leutasch valley and don't go too near Seefeld.
This was my first visit to Austria and it lived up to all my expectations. We are walkers not skiers and found the numerous designated walking trails well signed and the map accurate. Stunning scenery. The local buses [free with the included pass] covered most areas making it easy to bus to a chosen start point and walk back. All the staff in the hotel were friendly and helpful so finding any required info was easy. The food was outstanding.

Very happy with Inntravel's services & very detailed info pack. Hotel Kristall exceeded our expectations, & made us remember why we'd always enjoyed holidays in Austria - the Pfeffel family have got it absolutely right, they really know how to do hospitality.
The Hotel Kristall in Weidach provided an excellent base for XC skiing and winter walking. The evening meals were exceptionally good, the staff were friendly and helpful and the spa facilities especially the saunas and pools were very welcome. Sport Wedl provided excellent service for ski hire and had a good range of winter equipment. Weidach also has a medium sized supermarket for buying trail treats and there are a couple of nice coffee shops in town should the need for a hot chocolate overcome you!
Our winter walking and cross-country skiing holiday in Weidach was everything we hoped for. Our stay at the Hotel Kristall was an outstanding experience. Staff at the hotel, at Ski School Leutasch and Sport Weidl, all went the extra mile.
This was a perfect destination for winter walking with many trails on the flat and through the hills, plenty of interesting lunchtime stops, excellent bus service to get you back, beautiful scenery and a super hotel.
This was one of our best winter holidays! We had wonderful weather, two spectacular snowstorms, great hotels, delicious food and outstanding walking. See you next year...
INNTRAVEL NOTE: These customers combined two of our winter holidays: one in Italy at Hotel Drei Zinnen, Moso, and one in Austria at Hotel Kristall, Weidach
I cannot think of any other criticism. We liked the Kristall very much and the staff made a great fuss of us, even insisting that we telephone to say we got home safely (my daughter, who lives in Staffordshire, had seen that there were problems on the M3 the night before our departure and was worried about us). The loipen were just right for us and, had we had the stamina we could have skied all the way to Germany. The Leutasch valley is beautiful and has lots of walks when not skiing. The food was excellent.
Marvellous holiday!
Austria was deep in snow for our holiday and despite a few roads and trails being shut everything worked very well, especially when the sun came out on the Tuesday. I would suggest making use of the local buses to take you up the valley to start your walk(s) back to Weidach. If you decide to go to Mittenwald, as it is just outside the Seefeld pass zone you have to pay a small charge (€2.10). We went to the violin museum which was fascinating - well worth going to. All in all a great holiday in the snow!
