 Poster: A snowHead
|
Considering the upcoming lockdown in Austria (Salzburgerland) I am looking for alternative resort/accommodation in Switzerland/Italy/France....Just in case...Not cancelling just yet, but I like to have options ready!
We usually go to Austria, and I know how to get exactly what we need there but would love suggestions on where to look elsewhere.
As an example, we are booked 15-22 Dec in [url=]www.krallerhof.com[/url] in Leogang.
Base requirements are:
Accomodation
• Hotel 4* +
• Full Board.
• Indoor Pool.
• Childcare for 5-year-old.
• Decent Baby facilities, we are travelling with 4-month-old baby + grandma.
• Nice, comfortable communal areas in hotel, sofas, chairs etc, so we are not stuck in rooms in evening.
Location
• Ski in Ski Out or 'very' close to lift.
• Ski School accessible from the hotel.
• Airport transfer less than 2.5 hours.
• If public transport, then direct train from airport to destination (or very close), no changes/faffing about waiting/buses etc.
• Given the time of year, we happy with 'artificial snow' for ski in out.
We have flights with Lufthansa from Manchester to Salzburg, but we should be able to change. So, airport would be a Lufthansa served location, Zurich, Geneva, Milan etc
Would really appreciate some hotel recommendations, budget is 5.5k Euro max.
Thanks

The Austrian lockdown is only for unvaccinated people, so not sure why you would discount that? Unless you are also unvaccinated, in which case you won't be able to go to the other countries anyway.

@2waterford, not for the whole of Austria, only Upper Austria and Salzburg.

You'll need to Register first of course.

Will be amazed (and very happy) if it doesn't extend nationwide, in which case will switch to Tirol resort. Altough not sure how a transfer from locaked down Salzburg Airport to Tirol would work.
I am still doing the research on alternatives, determined to get out somewhere before xmas.

For Tirol, Munich airport is quite good too, if you are able to switch.
Though, if you want to fly to Geneva, Zurich or Milan, you will probably have to cancel you Lufthansa flights, as there will not be any direct flights from Manchester to those locations.
We are in a similar situation, booked Obergurgl for 17th to 23rd, and I am now preparing for a potential national lockdown. I am still somewhat hopeful that the lockdowns may conclude prior to then, as they may try to open things up for Xmas, but will book something cancelable in Switzerland.
Considering places like Lenzerheide, Laax and Davos atm, but will have to do some further research. If you book new flights to Zurich, all those places are within a 2 hour drive of the airport, and you could also add Wengen to the list of potentials. Certainly those places will be more expensive that Leogang, but you should find something on for your budget there.

It is harder to find childcare in house in Switzerland. We found a few kinder hotels - Davos and Lenzerheide and a great one in Liechtenstein but ski area is tiny.
