Poster: A snowHead

Thinking about next seasons trips, can't wait any longer.
Has anyone visited and skied the area of Serfaus Fiss Landis?
Looking for feedback on skiing, accomodation, easy transfers.
Tnx
Bob

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

Bob, A great place - especially for families. Stayed in Serfaus which is car free and getting from one end to the other is handled by a tube train that runs on air. Few people lug skis around thanks to a very well organised depot system at the lift station (run by a Brit). Ski area is perfect if you enjoy wide, perfectly groomed reds & blues. Uplift is very modern and queue-free. Hotels are your usual high quality, good value Austrian up to 5 star. Recommend the Schalber or Cervosa. Transfer just over an hour by taxi from Innsbruck. Tons of skiing over to Fiss and Ladis -certainly enough to keep most people happy for a week. It's v snowsure too. It's a gem of a place so please don't tell anyone - mainly Germans and Austrians there but not enough to overwhelm the system. Loads of fun on mountain stuff for kids. Forget off piste. Nightlife is pants though unless you take your own with you.

Went there in January, flew Ryanair to friedrichshafen then train to Landeck then bus pretty easy if you dont mind lugging your gear on and off trains. Austrian train networkwebsite supplies timetable which even includes platform numbers for train changes and every detail was spot on. Spectacular scenery on journey.
No Brits in resort mainly Dutch. Apres straight after skiing jumping, quieter later.
Good range of runs but piste grooming poor. Home runs always mayhem.
Attractive,quality village but expensive. Hotels very nice stayed at the Astoria in the middle of the village good but avoid ice rink side because it has the same tape of euro pop on loop from 4-10 pm.

That just goes to show. A resort review is only ever a snapshot... when i went there (December 05) the opposite was true.

spenney, What are the logistics of the Friedrichshaven-Landeck-Serfaus transfer. Was it one train or do you have to change? What was your airport-resort transfer time? Would you recommend it with small kids as well as luggage/skis in tow?
