 Poster: A snowHead
|
I'm considering a last minute trip skiing this weekend and am looking for a few ideas, please!
Last year I flew to Munich and drove down to Mayrhofen for 3 days, which was nice, but I'd like to try somewhere else this year.
I normally use Avios for flights and there's good availability for Munich, Turin and Innsbruck at the moment, but I'm not sure where the best snow conditions are right now. I've had a look and Austria doesn't appear to have had much snow recently? I also considered Norway, but I've never skied there before, so not sure where the best places to go would be?
I'd look to leave on Friday or Saturday and then come back on Tuesday or Wednesday. I don't mind hiring a car to get to resort, but would prefer not to drive a long way each day to gt to the slopes - something that's put me off staying in Innsbruck, but maybe I'm wrong?
Thanks for any advice you can all give!

Snow looks good up at Obergurgl - about 1.5 hour drive. Plenty there for 4 days skiing

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

@TDKUK, I was in the Arlberg at the weekend lots of snow there, a small top up due this week though there are also some warm temperatures too (as there are most places in the alps). I would say any of the higher places not far from Innsbruck would be ideal so Arlberg, Ischgl, Serfaus / Fiss, Zillertal, Sölden / Obergurgl would all work (all of these spots are possible using the train or combination of train and transfer from Innsbruck). So if you can get a flight to Innsbruck it would be pretty ideal. There is plenty of skiing near Innsbruck itself (see the Innsbruck thread) but it is generally smaller areas which are probably better suited to day trips. Places nearer to Munich tend to be a bit lower, Kitzbühel, Saalbach etc should be OK but maybe more spring like than the places mentioned earlier.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Thanks for the pointers. Struggled getting suitable accommodation for what I needed, but will bear that in mind for next year.
I've had to delay the trip by a few days, but am now probably going to Switzerland - Davos appears to have good snow and plenty of suitable accommodation available, so am probably going to give that a try.
Thanks all!

@TDKUK, advantage of Davos is that you can take a train there. And there used to be the most excellent pizza restaurant by the station.

@under a new name, yes! It was still there last March. Just stumbled across it by chance.

Love the skiing in Davos , Italian food is just about the only stuff that is affordable to eat out at night. Not sure if it's the same restaurant but there was a brilliant general Italian restaurant just to the left of the station as you got out at Platz
