 Poster: A snowHead
|
Evening snowheads,
A little while ago I bought some flights to Salzburg - flying next Thursday evening, returning Saturday night (all for £20 ret inc Tax  ) and all of a sudden i am only 1 week away from going! There are 3 of us going, we have a hire car booked, but currently have no where to go, and no accommodation booked 
I have had a reasonable look around at Schladming & Flachau, but am struggling to find some appropriate accommodation! As always, i would like to be close to the slopes/lifts, and not pay an extortionate amount - B&B type place is what i'm looking for. I also need to be able to park the car for 2 days (no idea if parking is a problem over there!?) As i will be skiing Friday/Saturday, i need a resort that is open during the week too.
Resort & Accommodation recommendations greatly appreciated!
Cheers,
Chris

Hezza, I did the same thing last weekend (Fri Morning - Sun Night) flying out of Coventry. We ended up going to Obertauern which is about 90km from the airport, mostly on the motorway, so it only took around an hour.
We stayed at the Auarhahn Aparthotel B&B and it was about €160 for 2 nights. Was very impressed with the service there, they let us check in early on Friday and and check out late on Sunday so we could stay out boarding all day. It was situated right next to a 6-man lift too, so easy access to the slopes. The only downside was it was a 15-20min uphill walk back to the centre of Obertauern, but we found this helped build up a hunger! They also had plenty of parking at the hotel.(although we got a taxi so didn't use it).

the Obertauern website is pretty good too. Worth a look:

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

Hezza, Hi, Myself and my GF were in Schladming last weekend. We just arrived on spec, without any accommodation booked up front, and found somewhere to stay within fifteen minutes of arriving in town.
It might be a little busier next week as the official opening is on the 8th, Pink will also be playing the opening night. Some of the other SH's will probably have better idea but I'd say you'll find somewhere to stay when you arrive without too much hassle. Oh, and you'll be able to ski Friday in Schladming, Planai has been open for a couple of weeks due to the excellent snow fall.
Here are some B&Bs within walking distance from the gondola.
Also, there is a car park right here
I left the car there for three days without any problems. I had to dig the car out on the last day.

Hezza, Obertauern would suit you perfectly. But stay near Luzeralm(sp).

Hezza, look on www.skiamade.com in the accommodation section. Loads more lifts are opening next weekend including my local mountain. Shame Im popping back to the UK for the weekend! Pink is playing in Schladming on Saturday for 50 Euro. Have fun wherever you go.

Hezza, Have you thought of Radstadt? It's only 20 minutes or so up to Obertauern and close to Zauchensee which goes reasonably high.
Alternativey have you tried the tourist office rather than individual accommodation they will put it around everyone.

Hezza, I would try and tempt to you my place - but I will be in the UK. We went to Wagrain yesterday - totally empty, loads of powder - worth a look if you cant get into Obertauren.

Hezza,
I don't really know about a resort for downhill, but a few years ago I was looking for last minute accommodation over Christmas and New Year. The local tourist board were brilliant. If you haven't done so already maybe you could see if the Obertauern board is as good? http://www.obertauern.com/
If they can't help, they may be able to point you at the tourist office for another resort
Good luck
