 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi all,
My mates have booked up accomodation in Flirsch, I've never heard of it but it looks like its on the outskirts of St Anton (which I know well).
Has anyone stayed there before ? What's it like? How do you get to St Anton from there / how far is it?
thanks.

logix, welcome to snowheads!
I'm pretty sure I've stayed in Flirsch, but it was a loooong time ago. It was a nice enough village (shop, couple of decent bars etc.) but a drive to St Anton (suggest you use google maps for the distance). We were on a coach trip so I can't advise on how to get to StA on public transport. There will be a local bus (possibly even covered by the ski pass), but I'd check how frequent they are.
If you're interested in the apres side of St Anton then you'll have to be prepared to fork out for taxis each night. If you're happier with the quiet life them you should be fine staying in Flirsch.
You also might want to check out Pettau, which is a small area covered by the St Anton lift pass but not linked to the other bits - not been but apparently it's nice and very quiet.

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

It's 12km east of St Anton further along the valley than Pettneu (towards Landeck). There is a bus but I don't believe it runs that late at night.
From the ÖBB site it looks like the last bus leaves St Anton at 19:36 to arrive in Flirsch at 19:56

As above its down valley 12Kms. Halfway between St Anton & Landeck
The ski bus is free however this stops around 5pm. Then you have to use the Post Bus which you stops after 8pm. These maybe the same bus nowadays.

Expensive taxi,s everynight after the bus stops.
Flirsch am Arlberg
If you like Apres Ski & Nightlife
Your mates probably thought, its much cheaper out there but when you add up all the extra transport costs I think it will end up costing you alot ore than staying in the centre of St Anton.
If your ito the quiet style holiday then you have save money.
Lots of Germans stay here . English is not widely spoken (like St Anton).
Some of the best hike off Piste terrain in the Arlberg !!

Sweet moses! Thats like passing Luton off as London!
On the plus side if you apres from 4pm, the last bus at 8 doesnt seem like such a bad idea....

I forgot if you are Pension basis. You had better have dinner in St Anton as there are no restaurants (as such) in Flirsch.
