 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi, I'm thinking of booking some flights to Munich for this coming Easter Weekend, out 2nd April, back 6th April.
Any views on resorts within reasonable driving distance from Munich which are high enough to provide decent snow cover and skiing early April.
I was considering St Anton since I've been before but it's a 3 hour drive. I'm aware other lower resorts are closer but not sure on likley snow conditions early April.
Thanks in advance
Brian

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

Thanks @JimboS and @Col the Yeti, defo worth considering that area and encouraging to hear most likely decent conditions at that time of year (usual caveats apply!). I think we'll get the flights and car booked, and plan the resort nearer the time.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Might be better not to wait too long to book accommodation. In theory it's high season so there may be a bit of demand for rooms over that weekend.

Easter is not high season at all in most of Austria, although UK tour operators are keen to tell you otherwise. Book the flights and car, then wait until you can be certain of where there is snow. As a fallback you will always have the glaciers, but stay in a larger resort and drive up to the glaciers to have a greater choice of accommodation and restaurants for the evening. E.g Zell am See rather than Kaprun for Kitzsteinhorn, or Mayrhofen for Hintertux.

Do you have kids? Free kids passes for Ski Amade and Skiwelt. Low-ish but keep an eye on conditions closer to the time, we had a great week first week of April in Ski Amade.

I skied for a couple of days last Easter week in Obertauren... It had plenty of snow for the time of year (23rd April) when no snow was to be seen anywhere else en route.... it is within a decent driving distance from munich......
