Was about to book a very good deal to Selva but the booking agent put me off when she described an "Austrian twin" sleeping arrangement. It sounded like a double bed but with seperate mattresses and duvets. Sounded fine for a couple, but not me and me mate 
What are they, are they any good for two buddies, that would far prefer normal twin beds?
Cheers

If its a good deal go for it. I have managed to put up with my teenage son in an Austrian twin.

I did a lot on school ski trips. Not something I'd want to do again. Happy to share a room with a mate, but not sure I'd want to share a bed, even if we do have separate duvets.

I did it in Zell am See in 1990. It was like having twin beds but very close together. Not an experience I particularly want to repeat but if needs must....

What is exactly that you guys are worried might happen - that feelings normally kept at bay being in seperate beds might rear up uncontrollably when exposed to such physical proximity? 
I've shared a bed with a mate on many occasions (ok normally steaming drunk) and we've never felt inclined to have gay sex - we just don't dig each other that way!

Its far more gay to worry about it than not

Our lads trips have included Austrian twin rooms to keep the costs down on occasions, and as long as neither of you is paranoid about latent homosexuality, there's no problem other than those you would expect from two men in a standard twin room, which usually results in the maids opening every window and liberally spraying air freshener around the place.

I have shared "Austrian twins" many a time on lads' trips. Nothing untoward or exciting to report, I'm afraid.
It's effectively a double bed with 2 separate single mattresses within the frame. BUT (and it's a fairly significant but) you get your own single quilt. So, unless you are feeling chilly (or frisky) there's no need whatsoever to snuggle up!
If the price is right you should go for it. Gud schlafen!!

Yes, but on my own. It was bigger than a normal UK double bed but with separate mattresses and duvets. If you're a night-time fidget like me, you'll often find yourself ending up in the space between the mattresses! Not very comfy! Definitely wouldn't want to share, it's a bit too up close and personal!

Nothing to do with pro- or anti-gay feelings, just don't like to share my personal space during the night. If it was the choice between skiing and not skiing I'd go for it, but first I'd look for other options.

When we started skiing in Austria many years ago this was the norm at first I had the same reaction (but you haven't met Dave L) but in the end a complete anticlimax and we all just accepted that this was how it was / is in austria!

red 27, The best I can come up with is that I had to share a proper double with eeyore at the MSB last year due to admin not realising that another bashee was a girl so there weren't enough beds

A little, yes, but the key point is did all three of you guys get a good nights sleep afterwards?

'Where's your hand?........It's between 2 pillows.......They're not pillows!!!......'See the Bears game last night?
It's a double bed where all you get is 2 large pillows for a duvet, choice of wither cold feet or cold shoulders.

Farting and/or snoring will still be the same issue in a 'straight' twin room surely - are you back pedalling?
