 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi All,
Have flights organised for four of us from Dublin to Zurich 27th Feb - 2nd March.....Had intended to get the train to St Anton but struggling to find accommodation at a reasonable price for 4 nights (any suggestions??) Also, we are a mixed lot, 1 x beginner, 1 x one timer, 1 intermediate and then there's me....Expert at everything apart from securing accommodation  I'm a little concerned that the new/inexperienced guys will struggle in St Anton??....
Anyway, I'm up for any advice/suggestions at all....
Thanks,
Bendy

Bendy... there are heap of threads on this board about beginners and St Anton, so perhaps do a search. The bottom line is that there are options for beginners at St Anton, but it is not the best place. There is a big jump from the baby / trainer lifts to the next level up. Lech, which is a short bus trip from StA, offers more possibilities.
If you cannot find anything at StA, then try further up the valley, ie St Jakob and beyond. There is pretty good transport between those villages and StA. NB: Most places operates on a Saturday to Saturday basis, so in StA you will have to be lucky to find a place where the people have left early, or be prepared to pay for the whole week. You can get lucky if you are prepared to leave it to the last minute.
Train from ZRH to StA is very good - there is an train station at the airport - catch a train to the HBf and swap to a mainline train. Check www.oebb.at

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

Ben Dover, I can heartily advice Klosters and getting residence is very easy. The train from Zurich Airport take 2 1/2hrs. If you really want cheap accomodation there is a youth hostel in the nearby town Davos but I prefer the village life of Klosters!

Thanks for the replies....I can't get any accommodation in St Anton at all....I've tried Klosters and can get somewhere reasonably suitable...plectrum, is Klosters expensive for food or more importantly beer...Also, is there a good nightlife ? I'll do a quick search and see what I can find on Klosters and Davos as well...Thanks

Try Arosa in Switzerland, not too difficult to ski, nice train ride and somewhere to stay maybe easier to get
