Check www.obb.at for bus/train timetables, google maps should be able to tell you the distance (sorry too drunk atm to do it for you lol).

That's www.oebb.at - it's the umlaut that gives it the 'e'. By road it's about 70 miles and between 1.5 and 2 hours driving, depending on conditions. By public transport, the average time seems to be 4 hours. If you want a taxi quote, you could try www.taxirainer.at
We're fully booked between New Year and 8th Jan but you could try our Austrian friends in the same apartment house - www.lhu.at or the B&B pension next door - www.grafleiten.at
The ski lifts are directly acroos the road and you can ski back on several pistes, so you won't find a better location. If you have any problems let me know; I have a few contact details of helpful locals.

The actual train bit of this journey is just 1.5 hours ish, from Radstadt to Zell Am See. You can take a bus down from OT to Radstadt, and a bus from ZAS to Saalbach, if you want to do it all by public transport. You change trains in Bischofshofen.
From memory, the taxis in OT down to Radstadt are quite cheap, so if it were me, I think I would be tempted to do this bit by taxi, to take out some of the hassle, but doing the whole lot by bus & train is not a big problem. Very much depends on departure/arrival times though, as buses tend to get less frequent late in the evening or early in the morning.
Also look carefully at timing options as the bus-train-bus route seems to take 3, 4 or 5 hours depending on which one you get. Bus from OT at 09.50am gets you to Saalbach in 3 hours, but the one leaving around lunchtime takes 5. 3 hours is pretty reasonable, 5 is ridiculous as it's not all that far!
