Hi Hans,
If you are travelling to Lavino - with a family - you realise there is a 5 hour bus ride! With young kids I'd be reluctant to go there
[broken link removed]
I would recomend austria - commute to destination about 45 minutes
I can recomend Ellmau as my husband loved it as a beginner - this was the first time he actually enjoyed a skiing holiday...!And it is also a nice village - you can get a train and a bus to Salsburg as well..
Happy holiday organising!
