I first came here 25 years ago as a 12 year old boy with my father. I have now returned with my daughter who is only 3 and skiing for the first time. Brand is a superb little Austrian resort with fantastic facilities for children. We stayed at the 4 star Sporthotel Beck which has a excellent kids club and is part of the Kinder hotels group. With a nursery slope in the village, horse riding, sledging, quad biking and an excellent kids club. Brand is ideal for beginners and intermediate skiers. There are a some good apres bars and some nice restaurants, but don't come here for mad apres-ski as you wont find it - head to St Anton or Ischgl for that. Although like many resorts in Austria the village is quite low we had plenty of snow and some great powder days. So if you are a first time skier or are taking the kids and are looking for a quaint little Austrian resort - head to Brandnertal.
