 Poster: A snowHead
|
Happy Xmas Snowheads! Will soon be Wagrain bound and have a couple of queries. Would be most grateful to receive advise on the following :
1. Bus transfer - will be arriving at Salzburg, then hope to jump on a shared bus transfer to Wagrain. I've done some research and came across Huber Reisen http://www.huberreisen.at/e-online-flughafentransfer.html, who offer a return transfer for €50, which seems reasonable. The thing is they want bank transfer pre-payment, so naturally I want to check if they are legit. Anyone used or heard of Huber Reisen?
2. Location - still to decide where to stay in Wagrain, or even in one of the surrounding hamlets. Want to be near a lift and would prefer to be close to the amenities. Have friends staying in Schwaighof, but that seems a little remote. Kirchboden seems to be a good base. Any tips?
Thanks in advance.

Hi VoodooBob, off there myself on the 11th & will probably be using huberreisen for my transfer. Not used them recently, but have in years past for transfers to saalbach & found they were fine.

Cheers Nick and Frosty. Will give Huber a go.
Any thoughts on Kirchboden (or alternatives) as a base welcome!

VoodooBob, can't help you there as new to the place myself. Have just booked the steinerwirt which seems to be on the main drag in the valley but has a ski bus stop outside.

Thanks holidaylovverxx. I guess you reside in Flachau? What's your opinion on Schwaighof as a base?

Schwaighof is a bit out on a limb on the road between Wagrain and Flachau. The nearest lift would be the Rote 8er. So unless you have wheels you will be dependent on shank's pony or taxis if you want to partake in the Après down in Wagrain or over in Flachau. If you put "Schwaighof, Wagrain" into Google maps, you will see the exact location.
If you are self-catering you will need to shop in either Wagrain (Spar) or Flachau (Penny and M-Preis are the closest supermarkets), it will be a bus trip or a car ride to be honest. If you are in a hotel then I suspect you are on half-board and therefore it is only the Après that could be a bit quiet. There is a good restaurant and an Après bar at the bottom of the Rote 8er lifts. the Wilderer is the après bar, I don't know the name of the restaurant but it has a reasonable reputation locally.
Let me know if you need any other advice about the area VoodooBob, I'm here every weekend looking after apartments for friends.
