About the host
Hosted by Alex & Lucy Balls
We are both teachers in independent schools. We have three sons and the house is very much our holiday house. We have a love of the mountains, both for skiing and summer fun of walking, mountain biking, swimming in lakes etc etc (and, of course, climbing for Alex!).
Why they chose this property
The location, being on the outskirts of a traditional village but also so close to the lifts of the Dachstein West. The space inside also allows for everyone to get on with whatever they are doing without feeling too cramped.
What makes this property unique
A traditional house in the very friendly village of Russbach. It is in a quiet location but also only five hundred metres from the bottom of the nearest nearest slope and only one kilometre from the Hornbahn Ski Station. The house has plenty of space for two or more families to stay together without getting in each other's way. As for the summer, there is so much to do: active adventure in the mountains, fun for the children, culture in adundance or just relax and unwind on one of the balconies and admire the views!!!
