I work in Immenstaad, just down the lake from Friedrichshafen. Although I have to fly home from Zurich as Friedrichshafen airport only serves Stanstead. Book well ahead and you get some bargains though.
If your driving it's not much further to get to St Anton or Lech and a far better resort. Bregenzerwald is a slow road once your in the valley and skiing is far better in Lech and St Anton.

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

thx for this report - very useful.
We're tossing up a week based somewhere in Bregenzerwald and busing around the 3-ish major hills against doing the same in Montafon area. Snow record in Warth/etc is very attractive and assuming it's pretty quiet, that means chances of pow are decent. But more terrain in Montafon area, I think.
Would appreciate any thoughts from folks who've been to either place (going to Lech the week before BTW)

I was wondering about the 3 Täler region as I can get a season ticket that includes that as well as many local ski areas here.
Of particular interest is Damüls which looks to have a very modern lift infrastructure. Anybody ever been there?

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

nessy, Damuels does look a pretty good spot - was contemplating basing us there for a week. I'd love to hear more.

I am off to Bregenzerwald tonight for a spot of floodlit skiing. Never tried it before, hopefully the lights are bright enough

boabski, thx - thinking of maybe staying at Warth as there seems a few decent hotels, and using bus to explore other areas. See what deals I can get compared to somewhere in Montafon area and then decide.
Staying at hotel Laerchenhof in Lech - stayed there 3 years ago and it was very pleasant. Top breakfast, excellent wellness area, friendly owners and not overly pricey. 5 min walk to lifts in village and on the ski run home from Zuers

if your going to travel it might be better to stay more central, Au maybe, then you have quick access to warth, damuls, diadamskopf and others. Warth is right at the end of the valley and a longer bus ride to everywhere else.
Warth to Au is a good 30min on the bus

also note there is no winter link from warth to lech, the road has been closed since late november

gortonator, Warth has most snow in alps and would like to try there some time. Was talk of it being linked with Lech but looks like this will not be going ahead afterall. As stevev, says the road from Lech is closed in winter ao might be a bit of a treck from Lech to Warth, even though the lifts etc are clearly visable from Lech
Enjoy your trip

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

Lech to Warth is at least a 2 hour drive in winter, all the way back out of bregenzerwald and up the motorway to innsbruck and st anton

stevev, thx - and yep, aware of road closed - i've seen Warth from top of Lech too!
Is Au at base of decent sized ski hill? The geography in taht valley is a little confusing. Looking to stay at base of one of the 3 decent sized local areas so if it dumps, local pow can be quickly accessed. A 30 min bus ride is no worries as long as bus arrives before lifts open

You know it makes sense.

shame there's no oversnow link. here in USA I'd be able to persuade someone to give us a ride with bags on a snow mobile for 50 bucks:)

Au is just down the road, 5min, form Diadamskopf. That is one of the 3 bigger ones. Warth is probably 15min drive, Damuls a bit less. There is probably a bus timetable on this site
