 Poster: A snowHead
|
Would appreciate any feedback which country is more economical when VAT etc is considered.
Staying near Zell Am See at end of the month, any preferred ski shops for the best"deal" ?
Thanks
John

just look around I am sure they will be cheaper in Germany but you will probably have to go on e the bigger town like rossenheim which is probably the closest big town to Zell, but I am sue all the shops will be discounting there ski's by now, intersport is worth looking at, also check out hervi's when i lived in austria last year they seemed to be selling ski's very cheaply right through the season. Just outside salzburg airport is a retail outlet village most things are not so cheap but they do have a sports shop there which has some great ski offers.

whakapapa, in Austria the sales have been in full flow for a few weeks now. The bigger chains such as Intersport, Intersport Eybl, Hervis, etc have marked their skis down - some not by massive amounts (the ones I have my eyes on were reduced from 650 to 500 euros - still too much for me) but there are bargains to be had. Be careful as some of the shops can also put in the backroom the very latest models and bring out old stock. That having been said, if you do not wish to buy the very latest there are some real bargains out there
Richiavo, the sports shop at the Salzburg retail outlet village is not great. Better off heading into Salzburg (well the outskirts) and visting Intersport Eybl which is huge and stock a very wide range of skis, ski gear etc

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Sleipnir, Richiavo, Patch,
Thanks for the names of the bigger outlets,good to hear the sales have started.
If you can arrange a dump by the 27th Feb that would be good too!
Cheers
John

Chatting to staff in ski shops in Mayrhofen a couple of weeks ago, they were saying its cheaper to buy in UK, large amounts of their stock had UK stickers on it, especially boots.

FAQ
I need some snow also as I'm off to Sölden at a similar time, but thankfully as it is so high with a glacier, all should be ok
