 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi there,
flying to Salzburg in two weeks ( 14th dec for 4 nights, but still haven't decided which resort.
We would have liked Saalbach, due to there being quite a lot of accomodation, but there's no snow at the moment.
What other resorts could we consider with cheap accomodation ( 2 students on a budget! ) and good snow
many thanks
Luke

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

At that time you could leave it until the last minute and hopefully by then we'll have some snow!! Or look at a resort with a glacier, Kaprun?? Dachstein West region?

That's a good idea, but just thinking about getting accomodation and transfers ( booked flights already )
thanks

lucasharrison,
I might be wrong but you are unlikely to save money by booking accommodation or transfers in advance. If it doesnt snow between now and then you will have to go to a glacier however if it snows and the weather is cold and windy you will be better off skiing at tree level. If it was me I'd still wait and see.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

it's the availability that concerns me more, it's my first proper skiing trip so would like to have something booked before going

I would have to concur with the others, it would be best to leave it a bit. If you really must book now, then you'd have to look at something that is open now. The nearest resorts to Salzburg that are open are probably Kaprun and Obertauern, both are less than 1.5 hours drive.

lucasharrison,
You aren't going to have any problem with availability - it's normally quiet at that time of year and the current weather conditions aren't inviting to the largest weekend business segment (Geramans). Leave it till the last minute, it's not unusual for Austrians to just turn up in a village and look for a place to stay at that time of year.
If it snows a lot Saalbach or Obertauern. Kaprun (Kitzsteinhorn Glacier) is a good fall back if winter hasn't started by then.
