 Poster: A snowHead
|
In the happy position of looking for a cheap cancellation holiday 4th March for a week. I loved Austria (Lech, Zurs, less St Anton,) and wondered about the comparative merits of: Niederau/Alpbach/Zee/Rauris/Soll/Seefeld which are the resorts coming up on one site. Any thoughts? Its all about the skiing for me not apres.
Your judgement is much appreciated as ever.

You might be lucky but they are quite low for that late in the season...

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

Niederau is pretty boring IMO. we were lucky and caught a massive dump of snow 6 years ago but apres is dull. Auffach along the road had nice skiing and now linked to alpbach.

I have been to Soll 3 or 4 times, during the first week of March or even later and the forecast at the moment is showing easterly winds in the UK, but more importantly, the cold fronts from Russia hitting the Austrian Alps. As a result snow is pretty much guaranteed for that period already. Even if temperatures climb there is enough of a base to guarantee good skiing and the snow cannon coverage and infrastructure is one of the best in the world. A group of us are out in Soll during the same week and it is snowing again today. Although with low altitude it can cut up in the afternoon, but snow coverage is great this year. Links to the whole of the Skiwelt - massive ski area.

Dont go to Niederau, ... I'm not sure which Zee you mean ... perhaps Zell am See ?
Of your list I would go to Soll, quite an underrated resort.
The places you mention seem to be the bottom of the barrel ... Not Lech, Zurs Stanton.
But you'll still enjoy it.

@DrLawn, i've never been to Niederau but I've also never been to a ski resort which I could honestly say I'd never go back to it. . . . all resorts have their merits and all our opinions differ but to say DON'T go somewhere is very blinkered and shortsighted IMHO.
However I have been to Royston and I do know for certain where i'd rather be. . . . . .
