 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi, myself and some friends are flying to Salzburg in 3 weeks and I'm wondering what's the best resort to visit in terms of snow and easy drive from Salzburg. A few friends recommended this site so any help would be greatly appreciated. Apologies if this info is on another thread.
We are good intermediate skiiers who would have a go at most slopes with some skiers who would be happier with less challenging slopes, although we're not overly worried about having really challenging slopes.

Ski Amade is very pleasant, and is well matched o your party's standard. Check the snow reports before you go, though.
Must be twenty years since I went there. Happy memories. Can't imagine it's changed much.

ski_fppoc, welcome to snowHeads 
Schladming would suit you, (part of the ski amade area mentioned above). You would find lots on here about it if you do a search (click on the "forum search" button. It isn't particularly high, but has a good snow record and recent returners are reporting reasonable conditions despite the general lack of snow across the Alps.

We were in Obertauern last week - it was brilliant. We stayed at the Shutz & they do a transfer service if you don't fancy driving. They've got an English web site & they'll answer emails in English too & are v helpful.

Saalbach-Hinterglemm sounds suitable. It is roughly 90 mins from Salzburg. Good for intermediates during the day. Busy (but cheesy) at night.

flashk5, what a web site, I take it that the hotel isn't as dated as the pics make it appear!

Flashk5 - We're off there in a few weeks, what was it like? Any bad points? Food OK? Booze a decent price or am I smuggling wine into the restaurant under the table again?

Only bad point is that it suffers from bad wind (& so might you on their beer!) - we had a day of horizontal snow!!!! Apart from that we really liked the place & will probably go back. We were half board so other than lunch (recommend Austria Hotel near to Edelweiss lift, watch out for bloke with fire extinguisher!) we ate in the hotel. Prices didn't seem too bad & the beer's good!!
For apres ski we went to 2 bars - Latschn Alm & Leurtzer (probably badly spelt but you should find them!) You can watch the night skiing (Monday & Thursday) & those that stayed in the slope bars drinking skiing down from upstairs in the Leurtzer whilst singing along to dj. Also try People bar & Monkey Heaven - quite close to the other 2 bars.
I hear they've had a bit of snow this week & lots more forecast for next week too. Enjoy!!

You know it makes sense.

Thanks for that. What's with the bloke with the extinguisher?
Will try out the Austria hotel, and as for the night skiing I'll be there. On the Obertauern forum they reckon that there's everything but dancing bears there on the night skiing evening. Luerzer sounds good to me too.........
If you're considering going back it sounds good to me.
