'Fanghouse is always a great place to visit. Hasse the boss loves
a

) 'If you want to let your hair down, get up and dance on the
tables, and sing along to some dodgey music, Mooserwirt is the place. It is expensive but there is no other place
like it. You have to come here at least once on your ski holiday.' -

toll by taking the B197, but no vehicles with trailers are allowed on this winding road.
The ultramodern train station is on the route between Bregenz (€19.20, 1½ hours) and
Innsbruck (€21.50, 1¼ hours), with fast trains every one or two hours.
