We are up to date with current packages from UK operators but now looking at the alternatives........can anyone answer the following....
1. Transfer times from inns and salz...train and bus
2. Internet links to chalet accom which we can book direct, by passing the normal UK tour operators
3. Does anyone know person who owns a chalet in St Aton looking for a group in Feb 2008
Any and all info or advice including links or contact details will be cool

Train from Innsbruck to StA is about an hour and, depending on connections, about 3 - 4 hours from Salzburg. The most convenient airports for StA are Innsbruck and Zurich, which is about 2 1/2 hours from StA. Munich is a little further - probably about 4 hours. Full timetable details can be found on the OBB (Austrian train) site: http://www.oebb.at
No idea on chalets - we always stay in apartment. You could try the local tourist office:
Tourismusverband
A-6580 St. Anton am Arlberg, Tirol
Tel +43 5446 22690 Fax 2532
info@stantonamarlberg.com
or check out the website at http://www.stantonamarlberg.com/winter/
Good luck

Theres no such thing as Chalet in St Anton. Chalets are private houses rented out by British & Scandinavian Tour Companys years in advance.
What you are looking for is a Private House? If you could find one your be very very very lucky but then you will need someone to cook,clean for you etc?
Best thing is to book a Gasthof or Hotel Garni where you will get breakfast & Dinner.
This place is popular in town so probably booked out in February Good Food, Apres ski tea,cakes etc. (simialr to a Chalet)
Talk to Margarita (the owner)

These folk operate in St Anton now

mongoose, St Anton tourist office site sorted me out for accomm last year, I will forward email address of the particular 'Hotel Garni" i stayed at if you want if you PM me your email.
Train from Zurich was about 4 hours but comfy, had beer and was convenient. Easyjet now do Bristol - Ins though which is much better if you are SouthWest (ish)

ditto iblair, Friedrichshafen is a painless and cheap transfer, but I would recommend the train as the stations at the airport and St Anton could not be more conveniently located. See http://www.db.de/site/bahn/en/start.html for more info on the train.
Companies such as Mark Warner operate catered chalet hotels in St Anton but you're looking at in excess of £1000pp for a busy week in feb!
