Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Self employed & working shifts - not the best for fitting in a ski trip, but we are trying our best! 6 nights: 7th-13th March is the current aim. The dates don't give me many flight options (in Scotland) so an indirect flight with BA to Salzburg is a favoured option at the moment.
We're both experienced skiers (25+ years), mostly on piste (I worry more about falling these days!)
Last couple of trips - Saalbach (which I loved), Kitzbuhel (not so much, sorry!) Where else would you recommend? Thanks Smile

Mayrhofen. A couple of hours by road or two and a half by train.

I'd look at somewhere in the Ski Amade, Wagrain, Flachau, Altenmarkt, Radstadt. Gives you access to plenty of skiing.

Plus you have access on the lift pass to all the areas, 760km of pistes.

Zell am See/Kaprun or Ski Amade.

This. €60 euro return shared transfer per person. Flachau is 50mins from Salzburg and is connected by lift and bus if you want to Wagrain/alpendorf and Flachauwinkl/zauchensee

@malarkey99, if you dont fancy going back to Saalbach then the Ski Amade area is the obvious choice. Really easy to get to from Salzburg with a wide variety of areas to choose from, Flachau is the easiest access from Salzburg and just about the largest "village", I like Zauchensee which is set in it own bowl at the bottom of the pistes (has a bit of a "French" feel about it) though is a slightly longer transfer and probably less choice with accommodation.

@malarkey99, Flachau, no brainer. Very Happy But if you can shift a week to the right, you could also benifit from the "Ladies Week" packages. Worth a look. Linky thing here: https://www.skiamade.com/en/Accommodation/Special-Weeks/Ladies-Week

Wish I could shift the week, free ski pass & free ski guiding! What’s not to like? Flachau is deffo looking a good option as can find decent accommodation for our awkward dates Smile

Interesting definitions of "near" here - Mayrhofen is 40 minutes from Innsbruck, but 2.5 hours from Salzburg. If Mayrhofen floats your boat and Innsbruck is not an option, I'd fly to Munich instead on a scheduled Lufthansa flight and take the train, but in that case Skiwelt is closer and just as good.

Flachau every time for me - 45 minutes in a hire car, on good valley roads which are dual carriageway all the way, and then access to a huge area with lots of options for any type of skier. Or train to Altenmarkt and a taxi for the last few miles.

From Scotland, flights via Schiphol or Frankfurt may be a better option than BA via Heathrow. Skyscanner is your friend.

Obertuern ...lots of accomodation and a reasonable time from Salzburg airport

Another +1 for Flachau. Zauchensee would also be on my list of possibles to consider.

I had a great time in Flachau a few years ago, with a very quick transfer from Salzburg, so happy to endorse this.
If you struggle with accommodation, you could look at the Gastein Valley. It’s a bit further but on the train line, has plenty of skiing along the valley and seems to always have plenty of well priced accommodation available

Narrowed it down to 2 apartments & one hotel in Flachau that will take our midweek booking. Hurray! The Flachau website itself was the best for the accommodation search. Prices seem really good Very Happy Watching it dinging it down with snow today & wishing I was there right now!
Any recommendations for transfers from/to Salzburg Airport? Will hire a car if we have to, but would be nice to avoid the faff of it for a change.

@malarkey99, plenty of taxi companies for private transfers if that works for you, or the bus service is about 1:40 and reliable though you'll have 2-3 changes - see https://fahrplan.oebb.at/webapp/?language=en_US&ulVersion=1.1&context=TP&method=storageRecon&storageId=98147399-7343-46c0-97c0-e5a8175b4054 for an example

@malarkey99, neutouristik / huber reisen for the shared transfer. €60 return per person. Don't bother with the bus unless savings are important

@malarkey99, I’d also recommend Flachau (even though you’ve already chosen!). We did Flachau to home door to door in a little under 6 hours once which considering you’re sat at an airport for two hours is pretty good going.
