Poster: A snowHead
|
Looking for a hotel that is suitable for around 16 male skiers in either resort. We are trying to find the most suitable flights and accommodation options.
Near to lifts
Lower Mid range (ish) - not a hostel, but a simple B&B/hotel set up would be fine. Approx £100-£120 per twin room per night
Accepting of a large group
We are a mixed group with those that want to ski all day, and those that prefer to party late.
Any recommendations would be appreciated to help us narrow the choice of resort.

You'll likely struggle in St Anton on that budget. The only places that are likely to accept such a large group are the larger hotels and you'll be double your budget, more like 120-135€ pppn b&b. Hotels Post, Schwartzadler, Arlberg, Sport etc. Smaller b&b's/ Pensions wont have so many rooms and are reluctant to take large groups of lads in my experience.

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

Probably struggle in Ischgl too. B & B prices more like a 100 euros pppn.

@Mike-H, May be better splitting into say 4 groups of 4 and doing it that way, there's plenty about 80-90€pppn in St A but they are small and tend to be out of town, either up the hill in Moos or out in Nasserein. Look on the TI websites at accommodation search. Might be better in a large catered chalet with one of the cheaper providers like Ski Total or similar but again I think you'll struggle.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

For Ischgl look at Ski Total, as above - you could split into two groups, some in the Chalet Zita, and the rest in the Abendrot which is very nice. I think they have a third one there now as well.

Great, just what St Anton needs - another 18 blokes
In my experience there is no point in getting same accommodation as you'll all tend to split up anyway. You can get rooms sub €100 near galzigbahn etc but not sure 're Ischgl

@Mike-H, what time of the season are you planning to go?

Hotel Post is excellent but unfortunately not for that budget unless things have got cheaper since I was there!

You'll get to see more forums and be part of the best ski club on the net.

We stayed in Hotel Madlein last season, can't remember the cost but as a base for a group of 16 blokes it would have most bases covered.
We booked directly with the hotel for half board and the food was reasonable, had a good spa, good bar, poker room, lap dancing bar and was a very short underground walk to the main lift station.

Hotel Garni Goldenes Kreuz in St Anton might work for you. It's a B&B hotel on the main street but closer to the Nasserein end. Less than 10 minutes walk to the Nasserein gondola in ski boots.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

If none of you have been to St Anton before and some of you are likely to party, best staying closer to Galzigbahn end of town. Whilst Nasserein perfectly acceptable it is a bit of a trudge, in ski boots and with a few flying hirsches down you. Yes there are ski depots at Galzigbahn but tend to shut around 6.30 so will quite often miss closing time if you're still partying at Mooserwirt/KK/Griabli. Gasthof Angelika is perfectly placed and under €100 a night bnb, certainly was the last time I stayed there a couple of years ago

@boabski, true, but I'm sure 16 lads can pony up the shared cost of a taxi back each night if they can save £20pp a night.
Having said that, Nasserein isn't necessarily cheaper as it's a popular family choice.
