Rauris is a chocolate box town but very well provided for. The valley is breathtaking and has many hidden gems (like trips up the Glacier and spotting the rare Vultures) to enjoy. It has 2 supermarkets, post office, 2 banks (with cash machines), Bakers and various other shops and tourist information office (the Salzburgerland Karte can be purchased from here and this gives you discounts for free access to many attractions within Salzburgerland). There are many hotels and restaurants within Rauris and the nearby village of Worth. There are also several local bars which are worth a visit!
The main gondola is less than 200m away. The long tree lined runs are fantastic for beginners and intermediates and there are two great ski schools in Rauris for children and adults alike. If you want to ski in the surrounding area Zell am See and Kaprun (20 mins), Bad Hofgastein (25 mins) and Kitzbuhl (1 hr away) are very worth a visit.
