Brad1977, welcome to snowHeads 
I can't actually help, but I'd be amazed if someone weren't along fairly soon who can. You might want to put Austria on the end of your thread title - may focus the likely/best responders. Good luck.

Brad1977, when you find out, you could put "Innsbruck area" - even better. I don't know how you do it either, I have to say - I wanted to edit one of my thread titles a couple of weeks ago, and it wasn't self-evident. I'm not new at all, just a bit slow on the uptake.

I'll post back later once I've spoken to my gf - she now has her own flat in Innsbruck, but used to rent. I think you might find most rentals are geared more towards year long contracts rather than seasonal though...
Just to clarify, do you want to be IN Innsbruck, or just central Tirol/close to a few resorts?

Brad1977, most ski tour op business is focussed on Zillertal and Ski Welt and most have offices in or around Soll - so Innsbruck is probably too west, you might look at somewhere like Worgl. Guess it depends on the budget.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

clarky999, yeah, but if he's doing the laundry for big tour ops he'll need to be in the east Tirol.

You know it makes sense.
|
|
Loads of beds run by UK tour ops run in the west too in chalets and chalet hotels, hence Innsbruck being a more logical central location. Dunno who they're gonna be doing the linen for but Hotelplan alone will have arround 300 beds in the Arlberg this coming winter across the chalets and chalet hotels...

Not that I know much about TO's, but surely they have a (sizeable?) presence in those (pretty major) resorts in the West?

From what I can remeber when I worked for them, Crystal had about 100 beds in chalets in St Anton, and then across the other resorts (Soll, Ellmau, Kitz, Zell am See, Kaprun) the combined chalet bed numbers were about the same, maybe only slightly higher. That was a couple of seasons ago now tho so numbers will no doubt have changed.

Thanks for all the info guys; yeah there are a few places to the west as well that's why I choose Innsbruck initially as it works out the most central to the places we'll be working with but I know it tends to cost more in the larger towns...
It's trying to find that balance really, easy transport for the business and also close to some slopes for the staff without being major league expensive...
Thanks for all of the advice though!

It's really about being in central Tirol, doesn't matter whether it's not IN Innsbruck but it's just that Innsbruck has the best links East and West and also down into Northern Italy where another of our places is.
Thanks for doing that, I imagine there might be a problem getting a 6 month contact but any idea of prices, etc would be really appreciated!!
Cheers

Brad1977, are you working for a laundry somewhere or are you just delivering the linen to the hotels? While Innsbruck is central you are competing on medium term lets with students at the Uni and Fachhochschule (technical uni) Any of the towns either side would also do and still give you plenty of scope for skiing a wide variety of places.
The A12 runs right through the Tirol from the border at Kufstein to about Landeck in the west. I think there may still be a short stretch in western Tirol where it is not yet finished, but it is still "Schnellstrasse" (and needs a toll sticker as well). You may get better odds on rents etc if you look at places like Zirl, Hall in Tirol, Schwaz, Imst etc. If you are collecting and delivering all over the Tirol, it really does not matter exactly where you are as long as you have easy access to the A12.
BTW you know that the police are sh*t-hot on controlling the speed along the A12 - it is nearly always regulated by the overhead gantries to 100km (65mph?). They claim it it is to reduce the air pollution, but the more cynical amongst us believe it is yet another cash cow for the provincial government. Salzburgerland is starting to do the same on the A10 Tauern Autobahn

My gf said to try this site: http://boersen.oeh.cc/view_wb.php, but she reckons you'll struggle to get a sixth month let too. There are some lets by student semesters on there, ie Sept to Feb and Feb to June/July, but a year is still the norm.
Samerberg Sue's idea is likely to be your best bet, I really wouldn't know where to look there, but you could try this site: http://immo.tt.com/immobilien/Wohnung/All/Innsbruck-Land/anzeigen-3-0-1.html. By the way, Innsbruck Land means the area around Innsbruck, and should include some of those satellite villages/towns.
