Mail for help.Help!!

Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Megamum, If en route through Austria or Southern Germany you see a shop with the sign "Konditorei" they should sell Torten, cakes and hopefully strudel!

What's wrong with the supermarkets in Flachau? It is a decent size town.

saikee, the selection is not quite so good as a proper bakery. I would rather have a strudel from a bakery than the supermarket

holidayloverxx,

There are obviously some nice bakeries there around Flachau and Wargain so it is a matter of how far would one wants to travel. It seems many snowheads here are willing to go back to a resort just because they could get a nice lunch in its mountain.

Update - I had a need to call holidayloverxx, prior to leaving and she directed me to the Bakers - we had not turned into Flachau town itself at the junction all week and were surprised at how much we missed. We found the Cafe Habesatter and luckily they spoke sufficient English for us to explain what we needed and they sold us nice Apfel strudel which had been backed in special foil trays to be portable for folks to buy as whole cakes. The owner seemed quite taken with the notion that they were going all the way back to the UK! saikee, holidayloverxx, is correct - I had looked in the supermarket, but all the cakes there looked somewhat mass produced and I wanted something a little more 'authentic'.

pam w, Asking was an option that I would have broached without another solution, but it can be embarassing to ask if you approach someone who then doesn't speak English given my non-existent German (can by ski ticket, a round of drinks and say hello/goodbye, please and thankyou and that's about it). Far better to have some solution from my SH's mates if I had a chance to. I myself was flagged down and asked for directions by someone speaking fluent German - lots of laughter ensued, when they realised they had picked and English only tourist!! Laughing

I'd walk into the nearest shop and ask the person behind the counter. I do speak enough German to ask where I could buy apfelstrudel, which would simplify things, but people are constantly assuring us that very good English is spoken by most customer-facing people in Austrian resorts.

pam w, isn't apfelstrudel in German just that, apfelstrudel. Am I missing a trick here?
