 Poster: A snowHead
|
|
Hi everyone looking to do a DIY holiday to one of the Austrian resorts in March using one of the low cost airlines. Can anyone help me by providing any information about which resorts are easy to get to by train or bus from one of these airports, the fewer changes the better. I have tried searching myself but not coming up with much useful info, any help greatly appreciated. Thanks

it's times like this I really could do with a sockpuppet!
From Salzburg it is very easy to get to the Ski Amadé area, Zell am See / Kaprun and Saalbach Hinterglemm.
There are quite a few others as well but TBH these ar ethe easiest.
You can get a bus from right outside the airport to the station and then get a train to somewhere within the www.skiamade.com area for as little as €11.
You can still make the piste by the early afternoon if you are travelling by Ryanair from Stansted!
It is easy to do accommodation searches by either using the tourist office of where you fancy going (eg. www.radstadt.at) or by doing an accommodation search on the ski area websites like www.skiamade.com or www.skicircus.at etc.. etc..

flangesax, (drops into Kia-ora voice...) I'll be you're sockpuppet in return for a free week 
We've done Salzburg to Flachau in 45 minutes on a clear day, so with an early flight we've been on the Achterjet at 1130.
From Innsbruck, there are several local areas accessible either from the outskirts of the city or by a short bus trip, plus Zell im Ziller (Zillertal Arena) and the rest of the Zillertal (Mayrhofen, Hintertux, etc) are within an hour by car or under two by train.

Ski Amadé is certainly accessible within 45min by taxi transfer!

There are so many within did Stubai glacier which has the added bonus of being able to ski late - was picked up from airport checked into hotel within 20 mins a further 15 and up the hil, this is pretty much the same for Hintertuxl! would certainly do this for a long weekend to make the most of the short transfer, equally Lech, St Anton and all the other resorts en-route are only 90 mins, plenty to choose from.Brand is a lovely smaller resort which you can reach by train - best fly into freidrichshafen (BA, monach and other operators fly here) as the train station opposite the arrival hall. Salzburg is also great with many resorts including the lovely Maria Alm and dienten about a 90 min transfer by hire car- fill your boots as you cant beat Austria for variety, friendly people great food and apres in my v humble opinion.

You can get to Ischgl in about 2-2.5hr on public transport from Innsbruck - bus from the airport to rail station, then train to Landeck-Zams, then the 4240 bus to Paznaun.
Or just try to blag your way on to a transfer bus. Think the most people we have had on a bus meeting the Gatwick flight is 15 people so not full!

@chrish, I think the simple answer is pretty well all of the resorts in the Salzburgerland, Tirol and Vorarlberg. Even Schladming.
