 Poster: A snowHead

Can anyone offer advice on transfer alternatives, I just got a quote for a private transfer of £140 return for two people which seems ok but I guess there may be a bus service or train service which is almost as good.

JimboS, Have a look at the OeBB website www.oebb.at It looks like there are trains every two hours from Salzburg main station to Schladming for €20. There's a bus that costs about €2 from the airport to the main station in Salzburg, or a taxi costs about €10 (maybe a bit more now, it was a couple of years since I was there).
The current train timetable is valid until 13th Dec.

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

I looked at similar last season and it would have been about half that for 2 on the train/bus.

I've used the train and it's very easy, announcements are in German and English, I had no problem getting the connection.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Thanks all, looks like the train is the way to go, just booked flights out on 3rd Jan and back on 10th staying at the Kirchenwirt, I tried to book a package from Edi with Crystal but they said that they had no space left for ski bags, so booked the same flights and hotel saving £200 on the package cost excluding transfer fror the two of us.

JimboS,
DIY usually works out cheaper if you've got kids. I'm a bit surprised you get a decent saving with just the two of you, or is that just on the bog standard brochure price (without internet booking savings, book early and save £50 etc)?

If you are on the same flight as Crystal why dont hitch a lift on there transfer bus.
We went to the kirchenwit with crystal last year and our bus driver gave 3 people a lift to shladming for small money.

musher,
Crystal web price from Edi was £594 each plus £100 for two set of ski equipment = £1288
Jet2 flights were £370 for both of us (2 hold bags at 22kg each + 1 x 20k bag for ski kit, we will get my board and Kim's skis in my board bag) and the hotel quoted 65Euro a night for half board = £1098
I was really surprised to book it cheaper myself, we had planned to go there last Jan but left it too late and it got sold out, I was waiting for a last minute bargain last year, that doesn't always work out.
We ended up in Wengen last Jan instead, so all ended well.
