The village itself is a very convenient base, with lots of accommodation a very short walk from the Maiskogel gondola. There are some decent bars and restaurants too, plus there’s the option of visiting Zell am See which is very nearby and home to livelier après ski and a bigger choice of dining options. The drive from Salzburg is quick, taking less than an hour and half.

Austria’s crescendo to the 2025/26 season looks set to continue through this week, as cooler temperatures (at least compared to the rest of the Alps) brings with it a few last flurries of snow.
Spring freeze-thaw cycles will be in force, but the freezing line will drop to 2,000m overnight and rising up to 3,000m in the midday sun. This will settle slightly on Friday when a pocket of unsettled weather moves in; the west will see a few flurries, barely enough to register on the snowstake, with up to 5cm falling the further east you travel. With the freezing line being where it is, this will limit snowfall to higher ground.
A few more flurries are due into the new week, albeit it remains too early to tell exactly how much, when, and where will fall.
