About Flachau
Flachau is an alpine resort at the foot of the Radstädter Tauern, connected to the Ski amadé network. The Hermann Maier ski route links Flachau, Wagrain and St Johann over more than 35 km with 20 lifts, and the village has six ski and sports schools and well-known snowparks. The homes group within a short distance of each other. Most have a sauna, many a garden and about half a fireplace, while pools are rare. The village is known for varied dining, and the Erlebnis-Therme Amadé has pools, slides and a sauna area for a wet day. Summer brings over 500 km of marked hiking trails, free swimming in two local lakes and a coaster that runs year-round.

- Best for
- Skiers wanting a linked Ski amadé area and a sauna at home
