 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hello! This is my first post so am sorry if it's not in the right place...
Taking grown up children somewhere for w/c 4th April and would ideally like to go to Austria for a change and the apres. Am worried the snow will be rubbish though. If you have any recommendations from experience that covers the following I would really appreciate it:
Snow-sure (as as sure as can be)
Intermediate to Advanced onpiste skiers/boarders
Sociable drinkers that like a vibe
Good eateries
Not too long a transfer
Thank you!

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

One obvious answer - Ischgl, reliable late season conditions (open until beginning of May), large ski area, well known apres spot, fly into Zürich and train to Landeck, 45 mins transfer from there.

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

I was going to say the same. In fact we just booked that same week in Ischgl for April 4th last night ! We are also skiing in St Anton as usual at the end of Feb / beginning of March but I think Ischgl will have more runs with decent snow conditions as a lot of the ski area is high up.
It's many years since I was last in Ischgl (1998 in fact !). It was mainly a German/Dutch crowd back then and few of the staff in our hotel even spoke English. I think it's a lot more popular with the Brits now than it was back then.

@JohnS4, I went back in 2024 after a 13 year break and expected to hear more British voices but I didn't really notice any difference. Still mainly Germanic/Dutch voices.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

@JohnS4, Sadly the Arlberg packs up pretty early these days. Many of the apres places close well before the lifts close (the Moose seems to stay open until the end). They even start to reduce the lifts and buses after the end of the "main" season ie from 07.04 this year. Ischgl seems to keep going to the end, which is the 1st May - public holiday and a big concert.

That's the same week as Snowbombing in Mayrhofen, if you fancy something a little different!

Thanks all, that's really useful - decision made! Will make a nice change from France for us.
