Poster: A snowHead
|
For the first time in a number of years, I will get some say in where I ski this year.
The criteria:-
Austria (I will be travelling from the far west (Feldkirch) and my friend will be coming from near Salzburg, so somewhere where it's easy for us both to get to)
Not Zell am See/Kaprun/Saalbach as we've skied there a lot
Probably not Ski Amade as we've both worked there, although it's a big area so I'm not definitely ruling it out
Good advanced skiing but not too expensive (would love St Anton but can't justify the money)

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

Plenty of reasonably priced B&Bs in St Anton!

Anywhere along the Zillertal or maybe Skiwelt. I would say plenty to see and ski in the Amadé region as well but not as easy to get to from the west unless you travel via the Große Deutscheeck

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Cheers, that's given me a starter of where to look. I've just hit into the habit of going where I get sent, I've forgotten how to choose!!

Elizabeth B, where have you already skied in the Amadé region? Easy for your friend to reach, maybe no so easy for you.
How will you both be travelling? Travelling by train may give you better timings to plan your arrival. Today for example travelling by car would be a nightmare - the A8 is virtually at a standstill from Munich south. And the approach to Munich from the north (A9) and the A99 eastbound are not much better. I'd hate to see it next week, but I'm already in resort so it does not bother me. I'm waiting until about 18.00 this afternoon to set off as traffic should be easier then. Fern Pass is down to alternate traffic flow (Blockanfertigung) and the Arlberg (A14 is mostly stop & go according to the ÖAMTC travel advice site!

Samerberg Sue, I've skied Wagrain. My friend will be there the week before but doesn't know yet where she will be based.
Not 100% sure on travel yet. We've both got transport out if we need to the resorts we are in the week before. I could drive, which would then make Ski Amade a sensible option. If I don't drive then we'll both be reliant on public transport to get wherever we decide and then to an airport to return home.

If St Anton is too expensive maybe look staying in one of the adjacent villages (ski bus is quite good). Email the St A tourist office with your requirements/budget and see what they come up with - you may be (positively) surprised!
