 Poster: A snowHead
|
|
Ghost Dog, My group are looking at 4 days away in early March. We've done St. Anton and are looking at Ischgl. But I see that flights to and from Munich are quite cheap <£100. How easy is it to get accommodation for 4 nights over a weekend in Mayrhofen? Any recommendations?

piperfraz, For train transfer to Mayrhofen look at dbb website. In the "from" window enter Munich Airport T (that's the airport terminal), destination Mayrhofen im Zillertal. The tickets generally go on sale about 90 days before your travel date.

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

halfhand, Try the Mayrhofen tourist office or the tiscover site, there should be several places offering 4 night stays.
Although you mentioned Mayrhofen (and this is probably the best place if extensive apres-ski is important), there are several other places in the Zillertal you could base yourself at eg Zell am Ziller or near to Fugen. Even if you're based in Mayrhofen It's certainly worthwhile having a day trip excursion to the Zell Zillertal Arena ski area and another to the Kaltenbach/Hochfugen HochZillertalski area (included in the Zillertal Skipass which includes free skibus and free travel along the valley on the narrow gauge Zillertalbahn railway).

Alastair Pink, Thanks for the tips mate. The skiing comes first but the Apres is a close second  A few of the guys always seem to gravitate towards France and Switzerland since it is more convenient to get to and from Geneva from Liverpool but after St. Anton last year I'm keen to start going to Austria more often and I've persuaded them this time.

20 mins? I had to queue for a whole person. Spent longer deciding which to take. Ibble bobble... (think both Zillertal Arena and Kaltenbach have double uplift now?)
Will have to get there again for a weekend this season.

Kitz is pretty amazing but also have a look at some of the towns around there.. Feiberbrunn, Sankt Johann, Kirchberg... All really good skiing.. and the apres aint too shabby either!! the amount of nights we've spent in our ski gear until the early hours of the morning... but i can only speak for sankt johann for the Apres to be honest.. also the schneewinkel covers Feiberbrunn, Sankt Johann in Tirol and Steinplatte (free skibus with your liftpass)

halfhand, belated response, but both the Viktoria and the Perauer have been happy with four night bookings in the past. Closer to the time, lots of hotels will do it of they have rooms. I also just discovered the Edenlehen thru' booking.com. Slightly further from centre but has outdoor/indoor pool.

Cheers for that. We have found somewhere though (apartment Brandt). Flights booked too so at last there's something to look forward to

irishjohann, Does Max Bar still do the thing where the siren goes off and vodka and schnapps pours from the ceiling and you have to catch in your mouth? Had some great nights in there!
