 Poster: A snowHead
|
OK, managed to secure daft low price flights from Stansted to Friedrichshafen early Thursday 8th Jan to late Saturday 10th. Me, my two daughters and my mum (!) are going and will travel via public transport to Au in the Vorarlberg. B&B secured at reasonable enough prices. Trip report and costs will follow as they transpire. As it's a well-served route it might prove handy for those that fancy short breaks. It's not a day trip feasible resort though - even with good connections or a car, it would be near to noon before you could get to Au. We *should* hopefully get 2.5 days on the piste.
Wish me luck... oh and happy new year to you all!

carled, enjoyed the report... prices in resort very reasonable too, do you think this is down to being less "touristy"?

Yes indeed. It's not a huge ski area (50-ish km?) but more than enough for a couple of days. With powder that could easily be 3 to 4 days because of the vast bowl a lot of the area is set in. It's much more a "locals" resort than a major destination resort, so I suppose they keep the prices sensible because of that. I get the feeling that 90% of the clientele is German and most of that from south of Stuttgart. It has a few mega resorts (St. Anton, Lech, Zurs, Ischgl) very close by, so maybe those places sweep up all the international tourist trade.
