Anyone used these for airport transfer from Salzburg to one of the Ski Amade resorts recently? Cost looks good at €50 pp return - they say the max wait you would have at the airport is 90 minutes, depending on who else is sharing the transfer with you, I just wondered how it had worked out in practice for anyone who had booked. We are arriving Salzburg airport at 10am Monday heading for Zauchensee.
Or am I better just sucking up the cost of a private taxi transfer - I have been quoted €240 return for two people...

@gamekeeper, I think Flangesax recommend them. I use Huber in flachau - the prices are all the same. I would use the shared transfer. I would be suurprised if many folk were arriving at that time on a monday morning.

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

Shortly to test them out, with an early Sunday pick-up. Slight snag is that they only accept payment by bank transfer and not by Visa. My bank is quoting a £20 charge for the 50Euro price! After some to-ing and fro-ing, they've agreed to accept my payment in cash on the day.
Edit: by the way, upon enquiry, they told me that it's a door-to-door service ie you won't have to lug your equipment from a central point in town.

Yep, we recommend Huber, our guests have travelled with them over the last 10 seasons, not had any issues and never a 90 min wait. The private quote is also accurate. Enjoy Zauchensee. Ange

We recommend them and have used them a lot.
They always accept cash payments if you ask them nicely!
We haven't known anyone wait longer than about half an hour.
@Hurtle, There are some fantastic money changing apps out there now. I recommend revolut.com - I get interbank exchange rates and free transfers and a pre-loaded visa card if I want to use it.

@holidayloverxx, oh, that's kind, I never thought to ask you. Anyway, it seems that Huber (Frau Huber herself intervened in the correspondence in the end) trust in my honesty.  See you soon! I'm staying at Wolfi's.

@flangesax, that's interesting. At the moment I have a FairFX pre-loaded card. I'll bear revolut in mind, thanks.

Thanks for all the replies, have emailed them and asked if we would be able to pay cash...as the bank transfer would not happen between now and Monday anyway, I think.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

One more question - does anyone know if it is possible to buy a half day lift pass for Zauchensee only on the day we arrive, as we are hoping to squeeze in an afternoon skiing on the day we arrive (before buying a full area 4 day lift pass to cover Tuesday to Friday)
|

@gamekeeper, you can buy half day passes. Also you should be able to use the the full pass from 3pm the day before

You know it makes sense.

|
Brilliant - thanks @holidayloverxx,

@flangesax, I have a Revolut card after it was recommended on here. I got a very good exchange rate and no fees on the PSB. I must load it up soon.
