 Poster: A snowHead
|
Looks like my second trip of the season will be to St Anton. Phil's booked flights via Ryanair to Friedrichshafen in March, and a B&B for 12-13 lads, but has not sorted out the transfer yet. He's suggested that we don't hire a minibus but get there by train or taxi ... I've checked on www.a-t-s.net but they don't do Friedrichshafen .... any further suggestions or hints. Both inbound and return flights are at sensible times.
Not been to St Anton before so quite chuffed (old fashioned Yorkshire expression), B&B seems to be right next to the Nasserian Gondola! So any reports on the Hotel Pepi Gabl would also be great.
Many thanks in advance

Alastair thats great it seems to tie in with the Ryanair flights - we'll look into this. Thanks. Other info is useful .. having seen all this it does seem silly hiring cars / vans.

Bus to Friedrichshafen Station. train to Bregenz change trains to St Anton. Its quite painless & easy.
However if there a 12-13 of you I guess a bus would be much cheaper.
Give these guys a call/email they maybe able to fix you up .

Sounds as if St Anton is going to struggle shrugging of its gay reputaion

Rob, Phil's mate has tagged these trips "Homski"; although I can assure you we all have genuine hetrosexual credentials!

Isn't the train station just outside the airport? It's a while since I was there but I thought it was a spit from the doorway ...

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

Yup, he used to run the Rosanna (I think) for Mark Warner's

Charlatanefc,

You know it makes sense.

Yup, it certainly is.
Did this a couple of years ago and it was very easy - Ryanair to Friedrichshafen then train to St Anton and it worked very well. Train station is right opposite the terminal, one change in Bregenz (I think) and a couple of hours later you're in the resort. It's got to be better than getting a coach or taxi.
Anyway, if you fancy doing it this way, here is the train link:

Good luck and have a great holiday!!

€uros 60 return & scheduled to serve the Ryanair flights. Fairly short transfer times.
But with 12 you probably can arrange private transfers for similar money.

Xaver, Lechbob, thanks guys but the topic you're reviving is 2 years old! We got a hire Vito in the end and had a great time. We did meet up with Charlatanefc in the Fang (bar!) but I didn't realise it was him until afterwards
Edited once for grammar and where we met the Liverpudlian(sp)
