Austria’s pretty Wildschönau Valley is already well known for its low prices and is nearly always cheaper than the bigger areas but families have an even bigger saving to make next Easter as from March 27 to April 11 2010, kids aged from 6 to 15 ski for free.

The offer is valid with two adult passes (parents) for a minimum of five days — a six-day adult lift pass costs 156 Euros (about 20–30% cheaper than in the big resorts in the Alps).

The Wildschönau Valley has been popular with Brits for over 50 years, many of whom know the area by the names of individual villages there like Auffach, Oberau and Niederau.
