Poster: A snowHead
|
Looking to book Christmas 2020 (probably 19th/20th December for a week).
Looking for advice about resorts - have done 2 x Christmas' in Cervinia and 1 in St Anton.
Liked the prices in Cervinia, pizza for children etc and lots of cruisy reds/blues. Loved the scenery in St Anton, how easy it was to get there (train from Innsbruck) but had a couple of days of poor visibility and found it expensive (we're a family of 5 - 3 teenagers). Also seemed much busier than Cervinia.
So here's my wish list -
If we could get there by train, that would be fab, but would drive if necessary.
Picturesque and not too busy
Not too expensive
Snow sure at Christmad
Availability of accommodation for 5
Any ideas welcome! I realise I'm asking for the moon!

I dont mean train / drive all the way, just from closest airport!

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

Maybe La Thuile/La Rosiere?

@sbooker That looks a possibility - Where would you suggest we base ourselves? I have looked at various options and there seems to be so much choice (Zell, Gerlos, Kaltenbach, Wald/Konig..). Wanting if possible to have easy access to slopes and at least a few restaurants etc close by as we'll probably be in self catering. If its pretty (husband's first time in Austria) that would be a bonus.

Any of the villages would be fine because the train and bus system easily connect them to all the ski areas.
Mayrhofen and Zell am Ziller may be more lively than some of the others.
