Best Forstau holiday apartments

The community of Forstau is situated in a high valley of the Alps, about 930 metres above sea level, between Radstadt and Schladming. The valley through which the Forstaubach stream flows, which gives its name, was probably already settled in the high Middle Ages. Today Forstau belongs administratively to the judicial district of Sankt Johann im Pongau and is a very popular holiday destination, especially because of its proximity to well-known winter sports resorts. Here you will find ideal conditions for a skiing holiday, but in the summer months you can also go on mountain hiking tours in the immediate vicinity. Private apartments in Forstau are ideal as holiday accommodation, if you want to live comfortably on the one hand, but also want to be more independent than when you are couchsurfing in Forstau. In addition to private holiday apartments in Forstau, you can also find chic Apartments in Schladming, Accommodation in Radstadt or Rooms in Altenmarkt im Pongau. All three places are only about ten kilometres away from Forstau and are easily accessible by car. The special advantage of Forstau is that it is only ten minutes away from the main roads, but still far enough to offer its guests a lot of peace and quiet.
