In winter there are 140kms of piste right on the doorstep, suitable for beginners and intermediates in the Dachstein-West. You don't have to travel too far for many other skiing possibilities in Loser, Krippenstein, St Gilgen and Postalm. In Gosau you can go swimming in the indoor pool as well as countless walking possibilities in the mountains. Swimming in the many nearby lakes is also possible in summer as are numerous water sports activities. This area - the Salzkammergut - is the Austrian lake district. A short drive takes you to the Unesco protected village of Hallstatt on a beautiful lake and a similar drive in the opposite direction takes you to the old imperial spa town of Bad Ischl. Further afield is Salzburg - Mozart and Sound of Music country! For those into 20th century history, Hitler's Eagles Nest is in nearby Obersalzberg and the former concentration camps at Ebensee and Mauthausen are a worthwhile and sobering experience.
