Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

New Year english speaking accommodation in Ski Amade

 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead
I know it's late in the day, but can anyone recommend an English speaking B & B (my German is non existent) anywhere in the Ski Amade region that might have space for 2 adults and 2 children (aged 10 and 12) for 28 Dec to 4 Jan? Have never skied Austria before, have found some good flights, but despite trying the search functions on various the tourist office websites I am drawing a blank on finding any accommodation. Any suggestions gratefully received.

Have a look in the Trips forum as I'm sure someone posted offering some accommodation in Ski Amade recently (in the last 2 or 3 weeks I think).

The best sight I have found for Amade accomodation is tiscover.at, though there doesnt seem to be too much for New Year on there

Unless your really desperate for good communication with your hosts I wouldnt worry too much about the language, I've found the Austrians so welcoming that it has overcome any language difficulties - the high standard of the B&B's also means your likely to have far less to complain about than in certain Alpine countries I could mention

There are a few people on here (inc Flangesax who I stayed with for a cheeky weekend) - I assume you are in a car - would recommend this to get the most out of staying in this area - a different resort every day all within 20 minutes drive - 13 days to go Smile

There are a couple of snowheads in that area with excellent reputations, but the ones I tried were sadly lacking availability (but I am a larger group then you). http://www.austrian-adventures.com/ is one although I have to admit I can't remeber which snowhead that is now Puzzled

Other than that try http://www.torwirtradstadt.at. I had pretty much given up on anywhere convienient and cheap but they just managed to book me in a group of 12 from 2nd-6th Jan. I'm having no luck at all with getting them to speak english, but the SITE is in english which helps Wink

Another one worth a try is http://www.pewny.at/ - they do speak english but didn't have the space for my large group - might be able to do the 1 or 2 rooms you need.

Or http://www.stadtcafe-radstadt.at/ - again radstadt, also site in english, speak english by email or phone also and again had space when I checked with them earlier in the week.

Hope it helps,

Try the search facilities on http://www.flachau.at or http://www.wagrain.at which are provided by Feratel, or try the Feratel website directly - http://www.feratel.com

A quick search via the Flachau site gave two apartments in Reitdorf, between Flachau and Altenmarkt - http://www.winterappartements.com/ shows English spoken, and €145 per night for a 2-bedroom apartment. The other has apartments at €80 and €90 per night, but English isn't stated.

In most cases, Google Translate can do a good enough job to handle e-mail exchanges, then on arrival you can get by - it's part of the experience, and a good spur to learn enough German to cope...

gamekeeper, I suggest you try www.skiamade.com and fill in the 'vacation planner' and you should get some replies. New Year is very busy so consider hiring a car which will widen your accommodation options as you might not be able to find somewhere on a bus route. Dont worry about English speaking hosts - most can manage some English and you wont have any probs with ski hire, ski instructors, mountain huts etc. We have a houseful of Scots for New Year - sorry - no room at the inn! Good luck with your search and PM me if you have any q's!

Thanks nickH, a.j., Smokin Joe, for the recommendations.

Very Happy

PS Reitdorf is a good option - its on a bus route to Flachau plus other areas.
