Poster: A snowHead
|
Hoping the hubby & I can manage a few sneaky days skiing next year. We have only ever skiied in Lofer and really looking for good blue slopes. Saalbach looks interesting. Looking for a B&B for 4/5 nights.
So firstly do you recommend Saalbach and can you recommend a B&B.

Saalbach's ace, depending on what you want. I've stayed in Haus Franziska before, small but nice, and I'd guess cheap (I was put up there by the ski school when the instructo normal accomm was full this Christmas). 5 minutes walk form the Schattberg gondola/bars.

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

Massive thumbs up for Saalbach. Nothing too extreme. If you have a couple of weeks experiene you should cope easily with most of the pistes in the area.
Great Apres, easy to move between the linked areas.
Why only 4/5 nights? You deserve a full week.
There is quite a lot of private rental apartments down on the main road if you look and dont mind a little walk to the slopes.

we are going to Lofer with the kids for New Year and trying to get a few nights away together without the kids and dont think we could manage a week.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

In that area, Hinterglemm would be great as well as Saalbach. I think that the runs further up the Glemmtal are slightly easier than those east from Saalbach, i.e. from the Bernkogel westwards is easier.
EDIT: - got my east and west mixed - now corrected.

Kohlmais in particular has loads of easy blues, great area for learners. Email the tourist office for more BnB recommendations.
