 Poster: A snowHead
|
I had posted this on another thread but think it deserves one of it's own...we bought flights to Memmingen some time back on impulse(cheapo) and are heading out for a few days in March for a sneaky lads trip.
Just looking around now as to which resort to visit and am suffering a lot of head scratching as to where to go.
So I am looking for some help and guidance here among the best community on the web.
We have been to the Zugspitz area on fellow posters recommendations and really enjoyed it but looking for new adventures, I have spotted a smallish resort of Damuls which links to another village and there are other small areas locally. Anyone ever visited this area? I can see its not large or high but it looks very pretty.
Other than there I guess there is always St Anton if I can persuade my tightish fisted mates to part with a little more of their hard-earned wonga.
Unless anybody can give me a better suggestion, please? Really don't want to be driving more than 2 hours at most and we are only skiing for 3 days.

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

northantsred, flew back from there last year when we were in Kappl. Took us 2.5 hours so St Anton should only take 2 hours.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

northantsred, I've just come back from St Anton today, and the drive from Memmingham is an absolute doddle. Also, if you dont want to spend a fortune stay up the road in Pettneu. I've been to SA a few times before and always stayed in the village, but to be honest Pettneu was fine and about half the price.

northantsred, boabski, SteveKirby,
I hate to tell you guys this but it was announced a wee bit earlier this season that Ryan Air are pulling out of Memmingen 
They are leaving at the end of this season and currently not intending to return according to the German financial papers. Looks like they are doing what they did to Friedrichshafen, building up a demand, then trying to negotiate special rates for cheap landing fees etc. A far as I know so far, the Memmingham authorities are not intending to play ball with O'Leary, any more than Friedrichshafen were.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

I haven't been, but it's on my radar. It's the closest bigger resort to Memmingen, which makes it the obvious choice. You can drive farther and spend more if you want, but I wouldn't before checking out Oberstdorf first.
