 Poster: A snowHead
|
hi
we are looking to go away xmas - was planning on leaving it very last minute to book up once we know the snow conditions are ok...... we've never done Austria before, and we have never been away over christmas skiing either - so we thought a chalet with nice atmosphere/small and friendly might be the way to go, and everyone we speak to says austria....... so, anybody reccommend a nice place to stay?

It's mostly hotels and pensions in SkiWelt. If there are any chalets they will probably be British-run but I can't think of any. I stayed in Hotel Waldrand in Scheffau which was family-run, very friendly and the food was delicious. However, it's a walk and bus ride away from the lifts at Blaiken so definitely worth using the fantastic equipment storage facilities at the hire shop there. Ellmau looked like a nice village from what I could see and there were a few hotels around the funicular base station.

Im sorry but if you are leaving it till now to book up for xmas, you`ll either be very disapointed in the accomodation left, or worse, none at all.

Pointless and useless is it...........
You may be wise enought to read into what is being said and get your accomodation booked up NOW instead of waiting. Im advising you that the nearer you leave it until the busiest time of the year, dont be dissapointed if you dont get somwhere nice.
By the way, this is a forum, if your touchy about the responses you get, go back to just reading, then you wont get answers you dont want to hear.

ps, Have you cancelled your booking in Flachau yet. Best let them know first I would say. At least allows them time to find another booking.

I think what jafa, is trying to say, is that recommendations might not be any use, as whilst last minute deals might be available you'll probably have to take whatever is on offer - rather than have a wide choice.
Anyway, Ellmau is a nice village. Most accommodation is away from the main furnicular, but if there's enough snow you can ski across to it/back from it. Sometimes it's easier to get the bus though. We tended to get the bus in the morning to the station, but ski back at the end of the day.
We stayed here: http://goo.gl/maps/cSj1p but I can't remember the name of the hotel. It was nice enough, but nothing special. The Sporthotel in front of our one did look nice, although we didn't go and have a look round.
