 Poster: A snowHead
|
Any Austrian resort recommendations for a sat/sun ski in Austria driving from Munich?
I have only been to Solden, it’s a bit too far at 3hr drive. Would like to try somewhere else.
Solo traveler, ski, sleep, ski return. That’s the plan.

Zillertal. Under 2hrs via Kufstein. Big area around the Penken. Glacier option (Hintertux).
Schiwelt, Kitzbühel and Saalbach-Hinterglemm are somewhat shorter trips with Schiwelt the nearest at about 1.15h (Söll). But those lack athmosphere imho. More like big hills while Hintertux is on the main ridge.

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

@jayroc2k, Kitzbühel and Saalbach do not lack atmosphere! Great places for skiers at all levels. Maybe the apres is not quite as wild as around Mayrhofen, but apres is not happening this season anyway.
Mayrhofen / Zillertal also good btw.

SkiWelt is the closest big area, Kitzbühel not much further. Zillertal & Fieberbrunn (for Saalbach - Hinterglemm) a bit further. I have done both Ischgl & St Anton as day trips but dont fancy that much driving these days perfectly doable as a weekend though (via Garmisch but watch the traffic coming home and lots of Dutch southbound over the Fernpass on busy weekends).
Do be wary of how much traffic there will be, Saturday morning towards the mountains & Sunday evening coming home. It can nearly double driving time. I would suggest you need to leave no later than 06:30 on a Saturday morning (06:00 peak weekends), grab breakfast en route.

Garmisch (OK, still in DE but it's worth a visit), them Lermoos for a day.
The only good thing about Ski Welt is that it's not much further to Kitzbuehel, which is far superior.

Seefeld has two hills. Not much après but amusing enough for the day.

I'd go Ski Welt for what you're after. Save Kitz or Saalbach for when you have more time. Garmisch is close but it's not a very large area and accomodation isn't generally near the slopes.

If you go to Ski Welt go early. It can be really busy buying passes and getting up the mountain at the weekend. To avoid queues arrive by 8.15, ski away from the access lifts to stay ahead of the crowd, take a break at 11ish, ski through lunch and stay till the last lift as many people go down quite early. I prefer Westerndorf which is worth the extra 10 minutes drive, has some great long runs and if you’re lucky some fun off piste.
