 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi, A group of us would like to book a last minute deal to Austria. We are thinking to get cheap flights to Salzburg, arriving on Thursday evening (22nd Jan) and depart 3 days later on Sunday evening. Flight availability seems good.
However trying to find accomadation close to one of the resorts is proving to be slightly trickier. Kitzbuhel has a ski race on that weekend so I think thats probably going to be mission impossible.
Does any Snowhead have a recommendation for a large Austrian resort close to Salzburg where we are likely to be able to get accomadation at this late stage, and if they do the best way to go about booking it? Ideally we would like to be with in walking range of the piste. We are trying to keep costs down but it doesnt have to be bargain basement.
Any help or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Try tiscover.at for an accomadation search.
I was looking for someone yesterday and found an offer on their website for I think it was 3 (maybe 4?) nights in a spa hotel with liftpass for about €350. Check that out - I think that was the deal but the old brain might be fooling me!

i've been trying to put together a cheap trip to saalbach as we did a day trip there last year from Zell and loved it, 7 nights for 2 people - cheapest flights were ryanair at about £220 return for both, for accom i tried the saalbach site and that tiscover.at site but its all ridiculously priced especially with the exchange rate. there's no way i could do it cheaper than one of the package operators like crystalski. but maybe i'm just not looking hard enough.

Packages seem to be cheaper than doing independant.
I have just booked package to Soll for a week for 3 of us.

The whole Ski Amadé region is also easily reached from Salzburg, e.g. Flachau, Radstadt, Wagrain, etc. If you're hiring a car, it may be easier to find accommodation that isn't directly in a ski resort and drive a little each day.

MrSnowplough, see my brief post on the Kirchdorf thread. St. Johann is an hour from Salzburg but it may have an overspill from the Kitz weekend. Fieberbrunn has slopeside accommodation and away from the main pistes has some amazing skiing, including back country. Steinplatte is a cruiser's paradise but I don't think there's much to recommend the tiny village, Waidring, at the gondola base. Hope this helps, have a wonderful time wherever you end up.
