@maidstone98,
Warning about Transfer Chauffeurs/Drivers
Transfer taxis are rarely driven by Austrian Locals.
Imported drivers who drive like maniacs while smoking and using their phones is the normal.

We have been using such a "non Austrian" taxi company for many years, and they were excellent. Our driver was Turkish, and he told us about his kids in Innsbruck. Obviously he did not drive as a maniac.
In fact our worst experience was with a "real" Tyrolean company from Innsbruck, that came way too early because of a little snowfall, actually want to cancel because of that, and drove like a maniac....
He was the owner, and was calling with his girlfriend all the time during that drive. Sounded like he had a dinner date with her, and he was speeding to get on time. A very very unpleasant end of our holiday.

April 22 I had to take a taxi from Hochgurgl to Soelden to collect something from the pharmacy for my daughter. The driver was a complete loon, a Sebastien Loeb in his mind as he raced to each hairpin. I never did find out his nationality, I just wanted him to concentrate.

Really dumb question. Do you know where we can get a cheap sofa? The pics we saw from the owners didn't show one and we're too embarrassed to ask if there is one included (we've already paid so I guess we will see).
It seems like there is an ikea an hour away, but is there something closer, or do you have any clever ideas how to get a cheap one somewhere?

I have another incredibly stupid question.... We have a car parking space, how possible do you think it'd be to buy a very poo-poo/old van type car (that I could either resell end of season, or simply just dump somewhere) that I could use (and who knows potentially sleep in if I do a 2 hour drive to Mayrhofen for example)? It would probably be a good thing to buy one in Europe where it is left hand drive making that experience a tad easier at tolls etc!

@Thew2002, you’d be fine sleeping in it..waking up after a -20 night might be a bigger issue…..
