 Poster: A snowHead
|
Based on current snow conditions/forecast where would those in the know recommend for a weekend?
Thinking max 2hr 30min driving time.
Arriving Thurs 3rd evening, leaving Sun 6th.
Both good skiers, ideal would be a place with some challenging runs wether that be bumps, itineraries etc.
The Arlberg is out as skied that loads. I do wonder whether the extra drive to ischgl would be worth it for better snow depths based on some searching around last week.
Cheers,
Greg

Try Fieberbrunn, with Hinterglemm, Saalbach and Leogang.

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

Mayrhofen? Probably at the limit of your drive time though.

If you're prepared to take the extra 40 minute hit then also maybe consider Serfaus-Fiss-Ladis. Great ski area with everything you're looking for. Not many Brits seem to go there for some reason.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Thanks, Mayrhofen snow not looking brilliant from what I can read??
@espri, struggling to find hotel accom on the "official" website, any recommended hotels that would do a short break? preferably close to the slopes??
Flights land at 8:35pm so we are thinking 2hr 30 max is probably realistic to not arrive much past midnight after getting bags,hire car etc etc

You'll need to Register first of course.

Just got back from the Zillertal Valley yesterday and the snow was great in Mayrhofen - snowed pretty much every day.
Was a bit warm on some afternoons but anyone saying the conditions are bad must be mad.

This was from the 12th Feb on the Mayrhofen thread

| pistes are okay, but really patchy off to the sides. Fair play, they do a good job with the limited snow they've had. So on days 2-3 we got the bus to Hintertux |

The hotels nearest to the pistes in Fieberbrunn are the Austria Trend Alpine Resort and the Sporthotel Fontana. The Hotel Hoch Tirol is also close to the lifts, though not directly reachable on skis. More a mountain hut/restaurant in the middle of the ski area is the Lärchfilzhochalm and it offers rooms, I believe. That might be difficult to reach late at night - you need to be collected by a sort of piste basher with cabin. I don't know if any of these offer short lets.
