Lake Wörthersee in Carinthia, on Austria’s southern flank, is a long-time favourite summer destination of Austria's rich. "Miralago is among the loveliest surviving examples of the resort architecture favoured by the turn-of-the-century Austrian elite, who built their summer homes on Wörthersee after the Südbahn railway linked the region to Vienna." "It’s not the place for those who prize the sophistication of a hotel’s plumbing or the cool hum of its air conditioning, but lovers of the fin de siècle and the grand gesture will be seduced: the house is a protected historic monument, and the owners organise gourmet excursions by boat to Schlossstern, a Michelin two-starred restaurant across the lake, or – more decadent still – by aircraft to the fashionable Hangar 7 in Salzburg." Good value, rooms from 100 Euro. [FT] Read more in the attached FT article, An Italian Lake in Southern Austria.

In its March 2009 article Where's the party?, Tatler gossips, "The current chairlift banter is that there is only one place to take your children skiing in the Alps -- the "terribly small" Austrian sister resorts of Zurs and Lech. A longtime favorite of European royals (Di was a regular), the scene is chic yet less glitzy than St. Moritz and Gstaad and is more about the Tannbergerhoff disco, DJ Rudy and hanging out in "silly-pretty" hotels. "The smartest of them is the Gasthof," according to Tatler. Other top hotels in Zurs and Lech include the Arlberghaus (Yeti club for tots) and the Lorunser (Princess Caroline's fav).

"The children's club will take care of your little monsters until 9 pm." Always, lots of snow during season. [Harper's Bazaar, 2009 Travel Guide]
