Family-run for generations, the Daxer has traditional Austrian hospitality down to a T. Location-wise, it's in a peaceful spot just metres from the pistes, and you can walk to the cable car in around three minutes too.
A shingle-clad roof, big wooden balconies and whitewashed walls give the place an authentic look on the outside. Step inside, and things are light and bright, with mountain-inspired prints and tartan patterned furniture dotted throughout. And in the spa are big windows, so you can stretch out in the sauna or swim a few lengths in the pool while you watch the flakes fall outside.
When it’s time to eat, the Daxer’s restaurant definitely steps up to the plate. Tuck into a huge breakfast buffet packed with eggs, bacon, fruit, cereal and lots of fresh bread. And when you're finished on the slopes, drop off your gear and grab a few tasty treats from the afternoon tea. Then to round off the day, there’s a 5-course dinner where you’ve got a choice of four different mains, with a different fish, meat and veggie option each night.
- Quiet spot above the town, 3 minutes' walk from the slopes.
- Lap the indoor pool and sit back in the sauna or steam room.
- Take advantage of free hot and cold drinks throughout the day.

Snow Promise
This operator is offering a new and improved Snow Promise which means they'll do everything they can to get you on the slopes if there's no snow while you're on holiday. Plus, when you book your holiday before 30 November 2023, you can now change your holiday fee-free if less than 10% of runs are open in the ski area you're travelling to, due to lack of snow or no snow. Not forgetting the option to upgrade to the Snow Promise Extra for even more flexibility if the snow lets you down. Find out more below.
Before You Go On Holiday
If there's a lack of snow or no snow in the ski area you're travelling to, you can change your holiday fee-free in the 4 days before you depart. Just so you know, they'll use the live conditions in the 4 days before you go, not the forecast conditions for your arrival. For example, if you're travelling on a Saturday, you can change your holiday from the Tuesday to the Friday before, if on Tuesday there's a lack of snow or no snow. They’ll refund the difference if your new holiday is cheaper, or you’ll need to pay the difference if the new holiday costs more.
The Snow Promise

- Less than 10% of runs are open in the ski area you’re travelling to. Or
- Less than 2 blue/red/black/black diamond runs are open in the ski area you’re travelling to. Or
- You’ve booked ski school through the operator and your lessons have been cancelled.

This applies to all package holidays booked with this operator on or before 30 November 2023.
The Snow Promise Extra
Optional upgrade on our package holidays (+£25pp)*
Change your holiday fee-free in the 4 days before you go, if due to lack of snow or no snow:
- Less than 50% of runs are open in the ski area you’re travelling to. Or
- Your ski school lessons have been cancelled. And it doesn't matter if you booked through us or someone else.
Change your holiday to:
Any package holiday with this operator they have on sale for this winter, or next.
This applies when everyone on your booking upgrades to the Snow Promise Extra on or before 30 November 2023.
While You're On Holiday
Your tour operator will do everything they can to get you on the slopes if there's no snow. If you book your lift passes with the operator and less than 10% of runs are open in the ski area due to lack of snow or no snow, they'll do their best to arrange up to three days of skiing in an open resort within a 2-hour drive from the resort you're staying in. Their local team will organise the transport and your new lift pass will be paid for too, so all you have to do is hop on the coach. And even if you haven’t booked your lift passes with the operator, you can still use the coach for free.
In the worst-case scenario where they can't get you to another open resort if you booked ski school and/or lift passes with the operator, they'll refund you for any lessons that have been cancelled and you'll get your lift pass money back for any days you were unable to ski due to lack of snow or no snow.
This applies to all package holidays with this operator, even if you book the day before you travel.
