Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi all
Have flights only booked for this weekend to Memmingen for a week of cheap DIY skiing hence no accommodation booked, so free to go wherever. It looks like I may now be going on my own, (long story, work etc)
I'm a competent snowboarder, and love to put up the miles.
Been to St Anton / Lech for a couple of long weekends and love it it no end,(also done Isghl & Kitzbuhel) however is there an alternative in that area in terms of area, difficultly and accessibility via train.
Thanks in advance

Schladming is excellent. Saalbach-Hinterglemm is also a great ski area. Neither equate to St Anton, but you'd enjoy the experience. Not sure about train accessibility for either of those.

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

mochal, not sure what you mean by 'in that area'. Nothing that I can think of equates to St Anton in Austria. I suppose the nearest approximation in Europe is Verbier.

Engelberg is superb but probably a bit far

Thanks for the suggestions.
Achilles basing decision on transferring via train or bus from a local German airport to west Austrian / East Swiss area.
Not sure need all St Anton has to offer, if going it alone. (Could spoil its mystic)
May consider Laax as next best.

Solden, not quite the same off piste but great snowboard piste terrain with loads of inter-linked adjacent pistes to catch some pow (seeing as you are on your own maybe). Cheaper than St Anton but just as much fun and on the same rail link.

Zillertal Valley where the steepest "groomed" run can be found in Mayrhofen. The valley has 5 to 6 unlinked areas totalling 560km piste.
