Abendruh Chalet Hotel

Went to this hotel for two weeks in August 2008, this was booked through Crystal holidays.I don't usually do organised holidays although having said that we've actually been with Crystal twice before (La Prez, near Chamonaux). I like the idea of having a base sorted and then being able to organise anything else yourself and are not compeeled to join a group. I (Dad) went with my teenage son (arghhh!!!), we decided to drive, the disount paid for our petrol and we had the use of a car there. I found the hotel clean and quiet, the food was excellent particularly the breakfasts - although did feel a little queasy on a few occassions with sausage overload. We found the area great for mountain biking, canyoning, kayacking, canoing,swimming and walking. I think the only slight disapointment was that it was quiet in the evenings - I although I guess it was their end of season. Some of the staff appeared to be new and were still learning the ropes - ready for winter. WE ENJOYED THE HOLIDAY AND WOULD RETURN TO THE AREA AGAIN. Having the car meant that we could disappear when we wanted to, a good trip was to one of the many mountain spa's (Bad Gestien) as cheap as chips and fantastic views - even my son enjoyed it. A useful tip is to note that not all outdoor hot tubs there are for bathing without trunks. Another interesting trip was the Grossluckner Pass, an alpine motoring route, very exciting drive but expensive (?) £20 toll.
