Guestbook for Haus Wasserbauer - Maier
“Our best week skiing ever and the perfect hosts, a fantastic week”
Harrogate, United Kingdom
5 Mar 2011
Two families with four teenage girls had a fantastic week skiing in a lovely location. Muhlbach is a charming village, quiet but everything you need is there and it's in a great spot. Duncan and Vikki were the perfect hosts they literally couldn't have done more for us but were never intrusive and made our stay stress-free and memorable. Vikki's cakes were unexpected but lovely and very welcome. Duncan even skied all day with us on the first day and showed us around the mountain which meant we got more out the rest of the week and he was very kind, patient and helpful to those of us who were a bit rusty and struggling as the day wore on. I know they have refurbishment planned but the house provided everything we needed and was very comfortable. We ate in, had take-away pizza and ate out in the village it's ideal for fitting in with what ever you feel like doing.
The skiing and conditions were great, skiing all across the Hochkonig area was fun, very pretty and offered something for all of us in the group. The mountain restaurants and bars were lovely, wooden, traditional and friendly and the food and drink were great and well priced. Special mention to Zapferl Alm in our opinion the best for the friendliest staff and best fun on the mountain & our favourite spot for end of day drinks. Had a great hour or so with all the family at the end of the day with lots of fun and schnapps and a leisurely ski home with a big smile on everyone's face.
Also Muhlbach is a great base to explore the region, it would be easy to dismiss Arthurhaus but it 's so nice and pretty it's worth a morning visit. We also drove to Flaschau and skied around there fantastic and even managed to get back and skied back in Hochkonig and get back to Zapferl Alm for close of play fun. We will explore more of the whole area next time.
