The Schonblick Resort is situated at the southern-end of the main high street (Marktstrasse), which runs the length of the village. The nearest ski-hire shop, Sport Egger, is 2 minutes walk away but doesn’t currently take online bookings. Inter Sport does take online bookings and this is no more than 5 minutes walk away.
The village has two supermarkets; Bila, which is 5 minutes walk from the apartment and located right next to the Inter Sport ski hire shop and a large Spar which is about 10 minutes walk away. If you have a car and you want to get lots of shopping the Spar is probably more convenient as there is plenty of parking right outside the door.
If you’ve got children (we have four) this bits critical! The apartment is five minutes walk (150m) from the bottom of the Hochalmbahn gondola and the meeting point for ski school. This is five minutes walking with children in ski-boots whilst you carry their skis and poles not a brisk walk!
How to get there
The nearest airports are Salzburg (60 minutes), Innsbruck (120 minutes) and Munich (180 minutes). Whichever airport you arrive into you end up driving down the A10 from Salzburg and exiting at junction 47 (Bischofshofen). From here you drive along the B311 for 20 km in the direction of Zell am See until you enter Taxenbach. Then turn left and from there its about 12 km to Rauris. Most mapping websites and sat-nav systems seem to suggest you should turn off the B311 earlier and route through Embach but this takes longer as the roads are steep and narrow.
