 Poster: A snowHead
|
|
Looking to ski with wife around 6th to 10th March. We have only had 2 previous trips one in Obertauern and other Zell am See. Looking for somewhere else, although do like Austria could try Swiss or French resorts. Dont really want much more than 2hr transfer to resort. Any ideas for this trip.

Hi,
Doing nearly the same (4th- 8th) Heading to Saalbach for the transfer reason,about 1.30 transfer. Going to Austria because flight times work out ( these were the only few days that would suit the 4 of us going, meant 3 days off with 4 full days of sking), price was right, and well Austria is always great craic. Arriving in Salzburg at about 9 pm so, transfer is important. Also, booking accomadation was easy with the Saalbach website ( However their automatic booking system disregarded a lot of places if you looked for less than 7 nights, so stuck in 7 nights and then emailed the available places to see if they'll take people for 4 nights)
Also Saalbach is supposed to be good for intermidates (so I'm told). Hope the snow stays. Was in Zell about this time last year, snow was patchy,
Kaprun saved the day. (Which, if Saalbachs snow ain't up to it, the glacier is about a halfhour away at Kaprun)
Have booked private transfer for €65pp return. and skis/ boots ready to be picked up. so all set. (snow snow snow , should have booked snow, hope there's snow left for us when we get there)
There are my reasons for Saabach. Works for me.Would be interested to hear where you end up. these 4 night sking trips can be handy

wingspan, try anywhere in the Ski Amade area and you won't be disappointed! See www.skiamade.com for all the info. The region includes resorts like Flachau, Schladming, Bad Gastein, Zauchensee, Grossarl, Wagrain, Hochkonig Area to name a few.
Most places are there abouts and hours transfer from Salzburg. There are lots of Snowheads here who live in the ski amade or have property there (me included in Bad Gastein) who can give you advice.
Cheers and have a great time!!

wingspan, I would second Kersh's comments, Many of the place s mentioned are less than an hour from Salzburg. Flachau is in fact about 40 minutes by taxi. Get your fligt times right and you will get 4 days skiing in.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

We do 4 day breaks to Lech/St.Anton. We fly EasyJet from Bristol to Innsbruck, then take a cab (1hr and a bit) to Lech. The snow has always been good.

erica2004, erica - where do you stay please?
wingspan, 6th to the 10th will be awkward I think as it includes a Saturday and Sunday night, thus running across 2 'normal' week bookings...

red 27, I agree but I think wingspan should be ok to find something.
Just decide where you want to go and get onto the local tourist office. They'll have a list of local accommodation you can contact. Some have an online notice board where you can post your requirements, then local hotels etc. will then read it and offer you accommodation.

Hi did a four day trip 2 weeks ago to Isola 2000 in the Southern Alps, its an hour and a half drive tops from Nice Airport, car hire around €100.00 for 4 days and Ryan Air / Easy Jet fly there daily, I stayed here:
http://www.hotelclub.net/hotel.reservations/Pierre__Vacances_Les_Terrasses_dAzur_Residence_Isola_2000.htm
Fairly comfortable, the resort centre itself is a bit of a dump, but the skiing is very nice for intermediates with lots of blues / reds .......... 3 different area's to ski all accessible from the resort cemtre ......... lift pass for 4 days was around €80.00.
Hope that helps ................
