 Poster: A snowHead
|
We are heading to Saalbach at half term, and I wondered if anyone can provide any suggestions for a couple of things?
We are going by train (fantastic deal for 4 of us, first class return Paris to Salzburg for a total of euro 276). Does anyone have any suggestions for a taxi from Salzburg station to Saalbach (I think by then we may have had enough of trains!)?
And does anyone have any recommendations for ski hire or any discount codes? We will be staying near the Kohlmais lift.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Holiday Shuttle run a taxi transfer service from Salzburg Airport. A VIP Taxi will work out cheaper for 4 of you than booking 4 individual tickets on the shared service, and the VIP taxi runs to your timetable. They might pick you up at Salzburg railway station (call them and ask) otherwise you'll need a 15 minute taxi ride to the airport, which is only about €20. The VIP Taxi costs €150 each way. www.holiday-shuttle.at Don't pick up a taxi off the rank at the station or airport for the journey to Saalbach - it could cost you more than the entire train journey.
The nearest ski rental to the Kohlmais lift is the Intersport shop which is directly opposite the lift. 100m down the street is Sport 2000/Scharnagel. Walk 5 minutes further into the centre of the village where you can choose between 2 SkiPro shops, Steger, Furstauer, Snowacademy, 2 x Hagleitner, another Intersport, another Sport 2000 and at the bottom of the street (and bottom of the price list) Hansi's. Hansi's shop-cum-bar is the cheapest in the village, but also the shop that is furthest away from your accommodation.

Sorry for lack of response.
Thanks for the suggestions. Very helpful.
Was tempted to stay on the train (would need a change to get to Zell, though, so would take longer than taxi, and by then I suspect we will be fed up of trains...).
Does anyone have any discount codes for any of the ski hire shops. I have the one for Alpinresorts which seems to use the sport2000 shop, but wondered if anyone had anything for intersport? Usually use Skimium (Decathlon), but the don't seem to do Austria.
Now praying that it will snow eventually!

@rg1, Best discount code in Saalbach is 'I'll pay cash' 
Competition is fierce in Saalbach. There were already plenty of shops and another 2 have opened this season.
