Full Energy program with Après-ski and Nightlife in Flachau
An important part of the off-piste-program of course is realized by huts, après ski bars and discotheques. Huts for example provide all the winter freaks with specialities from the region and with typical Austrian ‘Gemütlichkeit’. Depending on personal status, earlier or later ‚après ski’ starts, singing and dancing till the very end, that’s the only motto here. Intermediates of real food are recommended by the Flachau restaurants and inns, offering a wide variety in style, traditional as well as trendy, short and fast as well as a whole delicious evening.
