 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi
Were off to Maria Alm in March. Having had a great beginner experience in Val Cenis over xmas - happy with the green n blues, I'm now slightly worried the terrain will be too challenging for my 2nd week's ski. Are there any easy(er) wide (er) reds. Unlike Val Cenis it appears if you want to travel distance reds are compulsory - HELP !!!!
PS. Just found the Skiline info - fab website which maps your progress from your lift pass in terms of mileage / height / lifts taken etc. Worth checking out. Not available in France though.
Lastly I understand you can get to other areas of Ski Amade by bus from Maria Alm. Any info on that would be great too!.
Cheers All.
Lou

loucoops, don't forget that Austria doesn't use the 4 grade piste classification (green-blue-red-black) that France has, they just have 3 grades (blue-red-black), the upshot is that Austrian reds tend to be easier (more like the harder blues and easy reds in France)
Hope that offers some comfort!

Hi,
The only bus you can get is to Hinterthal which is the village next to Maria Alm. You can ski to the next village and the next one ( which is where we live!!) but you will bnot get to any other resort by the free ski bus.
I think form Saalfelden you can get to Zell em Zee and Saalbach and Leogang but they are on a different ski pass.
hope that helps.

djfletcher, Hi and thanks for the reply.
Are there any buses to Dienten & Mulbach from Maria Alm at all. Even if not free ? I am wondering wether we would be better to hire a car from the airport ? Or do you know how much a taxi will cost each way ?
There looks to be some lovely long blue runs from Sunhutte & at Mulbach and I've assumed the whole area would have good transport links !!!!
Any more information on how to get about would be Great. Thanks. Louise

Sorry, no buses from Maria Alm to Dienten and Muehlbach in the winter. You could get a taxi, but I'm not sure of the cost. Hiring a car would probably be OK in March, just remember that the road goes over the highest point and so you need to check the weather! Get snow chains. There are some lovely long blue runs here, if you make it over here get in touch, we'll meet up.
