Research Austrian sauna etiquette before attempting to try it out! The quality and quantity of the meals were outstanding, consistently.
Excellent snow shoeing guide provided by the hotel for 3 days. This will be the reason for returning at a future date
Snow shoe walk is a must - but a level of fitness is required
Good afternoon coffee/cakes
Sorry - we very underwhelmed with the hotel & did not consider it good value for money - would like our concerns further

The hotel was very comfortable but very warm and we should definitely have taken some cooler items of clothing. The sauna was a wonderful facility and it is useful to have light sandals or flip-flops for the trip through the tunnel. The walk to the Hasleralm was very pleasant and there were lots of horse-drawn sleighs coming past. However, the hut is EXTREMELY busy at lunch time and it wasn't possible to get served either there or at the previous one (Rosterstube). The Dachstein Glacier cable car was not open until the 5th Feb (might be worth mentioning in the notes to check before planning to go there).
The food provided by the hotel was fabulous. The cakes provided in the afternoon were both works of art and delicious. Definitely the best hotel for food we have ever stayed in but not one to go to if you are on a diet.
The staff at both Hotel Maschner and in Salzburg were extremely friendly and helpful. A particular highlight was the snow-shoeing; the guide Kali was outstanding and extremely enthusiastic. The spa facilities were an ideal way to relax late in the afternoon.

This is our second time using Inntravel for a snow walking holiday and the service we received was excellent. We had a wonderful week staying at the Hotel Matschner in Ramsau and the area was just breathtaking, with plenty of trails and very traditional and pretty huts for refreshments along the way! The three snowshoe walks were the highlight of the week but I must say you do need a fair level of fitness to enjoy it! Ramsau has a couple of nice coffee shops and a very good Italian Restaurant, if you fancy a change of scenery for the evening meal. We booked a horse-drawn sleigh ride which was wonderful and would wholly recommend.
Hotel staff and food excellent. Great access to the cross country start track and swimming pool. Afternoon coffee and cake very nice.
The winter walking / snow shoeing guide was excellent. Allowed for different levels in the group and took time to explain the area and some wildlife, including animal tracks. Also took us to some good and interesting mountain huts and I enjoyed a great Applestrudel in each.
A great compromise choice for a mixed group - some wanting downhill skiing others wanting walking / snowshoeing/cross-country. Lots of cross-country skiing and walking from the doorstep. Bus services to Schladming (good downhill skiing area) were conveniently close and regular. Good groomed walking from the door and plenty more in the area if you had transport. We were told snowshoeing would be available from the hotel for 5 days a week but it was actually only 3. This was a very quiet town - just what we wanted but may not suit everybody. Swimming pool and spa facility - accessed from within the hotel - was excellent. Beautiful location. Food good with lots of choice and staff very helpful.
Ramsau is a great base for a winter holiday. We walked on the glacier, snowshoed twice with the guide from the hotel & had a day's skiing in Schladming. We found the hotel was very quiet in the evenings but I presume that was because we were at the end of the ski season. We would love to go back in the Spring/Summer as we loved the scenery & can imagine that the wild flower meadows would be a picture.
A lovely holiday in beautiful surroundings! The mountains were spectacular, and it was great to do the walking route on the Dachstein glacier. The food and service in the hotel were excellent, and we enjoyed the complimentary teas in the afternoons. The snowshoeing trips with Karli provided a particular highlight, exploring nearby areas that we would never have found on our own.
Food, friendliness of the staff and service at Hotel Matschner were excellent. A recommendation would be to try and book a room at the rear of the hotel. What one would sacrifice in terms of the view of the Dachstein mountains would be compensated by a reduction in noise due to the early morning snow clearing operation. Salzburg lived up to our expectations and the alternative Hotel Auersperg was fantastic - well appointed room, clean, comfortable, friendly and a superb bio breakfast. Fitting conclusion to a relaxing first experience of Austria.
