 Poster: A snowHead

Hi all,
Well in Feb I'll be staying in Schlitters for 7 days of skiing. I was wondering if anyone had been and what it's like as a resort and what to expect etc.
Ta, Si

I've stayed there one weekend ... it's not an actual ski resort but a village at the entrance to the Ziller Tal which has quite a few resorts in it like Zell am Ziller and Hoch Fugen. Actually, I suppose there might be a couple of lifts there but I didn't notice them. You can bus/train it up and down the valley between the resorts but it's easier if you've got a car.
Zell's worth 2-3 days and the other small ones probably one each and then Mayrhofen's at the far end of the valley which has a good amount of skiing. The Hintertux glacier's 30-40 mins up past Mayrhofen but I wouldn't bother heading up there unless the snow is bad in the valley resorts.
If it's not too late to change your accomodation I'd be inclined to book something a bit further into the valley so you're a bit more central to the various resorts

Ray Zorro, Oak Hall it is! Z10 being the ref code. (14th - 23rd Feb) - I am going with some friends from a church in Croydon who were already booked to go.
I believe we're staying in Hotel Cafe Zillertal.
It's a shame it's not ski-in/out - quite different to Val d was in feb this year! (though that wasn't Oak Hall).
Thanks for the information you guys so far, I look forward to hearing more about the place!

RichA, wish I could mate. tis all booked up with the company I'm going with (as ray mentioned, Oak Hall) just must be the way they do things.
Next time, I'll be going with others, and we'll probably do a DIY thing and go to Mayrhofen if we can.

FAQ
), but not Schlitters but purposefully looked out for it when I went to Hintertux recently. As RichA says, it is right at the end of the valley and a bit of a trek to the skiing.
I know a few of their instructors and one used to rave about their place in Zell for the access to great skiing.
