 Poster: A snowHead
|
I'm booked with my partner into a very good value (i hope) pension in Reith im Alpbachtal for a week from March 6 after getting a flight to Innsbruck for just £15 each and some air miles!
It's not a resort I'm at all familiar with, so any hints, tips etc on Reith and the new Ski Juwel area would be much appreciated! Thanks.

LOTA, I was skiing that area on Sunday and thoroughly enjoyed it. There are some lovely long runs from the Gmahkopf down to Inneralpbach and between Reith and Alpbach itself. The link across to Auffach is very good and also opens up some lovely long runs both back down to the Alpbachtal (only to the middle station this season officially) or down to the bottom of the Schatzbergbahn.
The runs in Reith itself are good for warming up on. The toboggan run looks to be mega fun though! The buses run all day up and down between Inneralpbach and Reith so you have good linking between the various lifts. I did not use them as living locally I use my car to get to where I want to ski, but I saw plenty of them.
Enjoy your holiday!

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

LOTA, more than enough and more coming in this weekend and next week! They are forecasting a snowmaggedon type changeover day for Saturday. And I've got to get to Flachau to sort out some changeovers!

The Reith ski area is separate from the main Alpbach area. Reith lies near the entry to the Alpbachtal, the main Alpbach skiing further up the valley.
The skiing in Reith itself is pleasant, mostly on a piste alongside the Reitherkogelbahn gondola, but relatively little. The larger area is up at Alpbach and you can enter it either via the Wiedersbergerhornbahn gondola (nearer Reith) or up at Inneralpbach. There you can go up the Pöglbahn gondola to the "original" (i.e. as it was up till this season) Alpbach ski area on the Wiedersbergerhorn and now there is also the new gondola linking to the Wildschönau pistes above Auffach on the other side of the valley. Even the original Alpbach area provided widespread, enjoyable slopes. Now there is even more to explore.
Enjoy your holiday.

We had a week in Alpbach in mid-Jan. Had a great time but it's not a resort for beginners. Intermediates or better (lots of off-piste) will really enjoy it.
