If you're looking for a mountain hut for New Year's Eve, at Beim Oswald you'll find something close: an old mountain farmhouse with wood-panelled living room and tiled stove, plus your own kitchen, your own bathroom and fibre-optic internet. Cars stay at the edge of the village.
There's no New Year's programme. Sauna in the afternoon, cooking in the evening, out the door at midnight. On New Year's Day you walk about five minutes to the Brunnachbahn, or you sleep in.
The St. Oswald side of the ski area has been open since 4 December; over New Year the lifts run from 9 am to 4 pm.
New Year on skis: about 5 minutes on foot to the Brunnachbahn. Ski holiday
Night sledging: at the Unterwirthütt’n on Mondays from 7 pm and Fridays from 4:15 pm, registration required.
Thermal spas: Römerbad and Therme St. Kathrein, about 10 minutes by car.
