 Poster: A snowHead
|
Flying to Munich on Saturday Jan 7th, arriving mid afternoon & planning a week in Austria. Would much prefer to get the train so would appreciate recomendations for a resort that is easy to reach by rail, has good nighlife and a decent size ski area which isn't too fragmented - so not asking for much!!
Our group is a mix of skiiers and snowboarders, all reasonably competent and used to spending a week on the red runs in France but having a change this year.
Thanks in advance!

Söll in Ski Welt - easy to reach on the train from Munich airport (S-Bahn to Ostbahnhof then catch the next rain to Kufstein. From Kufstein take a bus or taxi to Söll.
Kitzbühel/Kirchberg would also work quite easily.
Zillertal is a bit longer on the train as are most of the more famous Tirol areas. change at Jenbach for the Mayrhofen trains
You can also get to the Ski Amade areas quite easily by train (St Johann im Pongau has a mainline train station). Flachau is reachable but you need to change trains at Bischofshofen to switch to the Ennstal line.
In western Austria you can access St Anton by train from Munich but it is not as straightforward a journey as it is from Zurich.
To be honest most resorts in Tirol and Salzburgerland are easily reachable by train and public transport. And taxis from the valley stations to the resorts are not that expensive either.

So many choices. As well as Sue's options, Fiss and Ischgl are easily reachable too, if you're prepared to use a bus on one leg.

pablito69, Welcome to Snowheads! 
Just to expand on Samerberg Sue's excellent reply, the S-Bahn line to Ostbahnhof from the airport is the S8

has to be the nearest/easiest/fastest option and great for a mixed group. Best night skiing too. Pick hotel right up by the lifts like the Tulpe or Hexenalm and job's a good 'un.

Hmmm - there's even a direct train from here to Radstadt/Schladming etc., via Munich+Salzburg. And another one to Badgastein etc. Might have to check that out.
