Where skis throw up powder snow and strange ice crystals glisten cheerfully in the sun - that`s where the holiday-maker in search of relaxation can make his own private rendezvous with nature even in the middle of winter. Masses of snow, no fear of avalanches, gentle slopes and high-speed pistes make Glödnitz-Flattnitz the ideal spot for a winter holiday for all the family. The friendly ski-school, the solitary track of the skitourer in the deep snow, the parallel turn executed with perfect skill on the unbelievably beautiful sunlit piste, or the congratulatory pat on the back after a particularly good throw on the curling rink-everything is so unconstrained, so soothing, and so different from the socalled winter-sports centres and high society inresorts.
