Poster: A snowHead
|
Given some of the amazing conditions in Austria, can anyone recommend a resort within about an hour of Salzburg that is benefiting from some of the early snow that will be open?
Thinking about a quick weekend on 2nd Nov - Ryanair have got some pretty good deals at the moment.
Thanks

Look under the Airports section of j2ski.com. They have a full list.

Hi Mark,
We are only 45 mins from Salzburg airport The snow report say there is 40 cm on the mountains and it still snowing tonight!!- Thats 5 days of snow falling!!! But i can't say what resorts will be open. Depends what happens this weekend temp are forecast up to 14 oC!! So the conditions might not be that good. maybe wait until next week to see what the forecast is.

What about the Kitzsteinhorn glacier, probably about an hour by car and regular trains taking maybe 1.5 to 2 hours to Zell am See. http://en.kitzsteinhorn.at/

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

schladming (1hr salzburg) is due to open fri 26 oct, clearly dependant on early season snow. Nearby Dachstein Glacier should be no problem.

You'll need to Register first of course.

Kitz is open and the snow is looking good. It's about 1 and a bit hour's drive from Salzburg. You can also stay in Zell am See, not far away (if you have a car). The train to Zell takes 1hr 40 mins and you can get a taxi to Kaprun village (10mins, around 16 euro). My experience of the glacier in November is that it can be very cold and windy, so be prepared!

Thanks all, really helpful.
djfletcher, your place looks interesting. This is tentative, but we may look to sort something fairly quickly. Do you have any availability on your B & B tariff for the nights of the 2nd & 3rd November?
Cheers
Mark
