Best for… the alpine experience

If you’re after a truly authentic skiing experience, then the Das Central ski resort is your best bet. This ski resort oozes luxury, comfort and beauty. It also has a pretty magnificent claim to fame, as it was the filming location for the 2015 James Bond blockbuster Spectre. But one of the highlights of the resort has to be the ‘Gampe Thaya’ Hut, a charming Austrian lodge that’s been a popular spot in the Ötztal Alps for hundreds of years.
