 Poster: A snowHead
|
Thanks for all your help and advice on where to book and we have finally booked to go to Ellmau. In hindsight I wish I hadnt left it till last minute though! we are going on 26 January. I have been looking at booking my ski hire with Schuh- & Sport Profi GÜNTHER as they came up with a great price for us. for 2 adults premium ski hire and 2 children boot and ski hire it was only 194 euros which I thought was a great price. Does anyone have any thoughts on this who knows the shop etc?
Is the best place to order the lift passes from the ski welt website? for 2 adults and 2 children (12 and 14) it is coming out at 629 euros.
We are staying at the Fusch apartments and I cant wait! does anyone know if there are any webcams for Ellmau?

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

snowskisnow, is there a lift pass office in Ellmau itself, or is it at the Hartkaiser? Just asking (I don't know the answer!) because it may be more convenient if they want to ski the Astberg area first, or have lessons with the Hartkaiser ski school and can't get to the lift office the day before.

Yes, there is a lift pass hut in Ellmau, by the slopes. Also selling ski lessons.

I've bought a lift pass from the town centre - just up the hill from 'Bar Memory' - I can't remember whether it was in the Tourist Information Office or a dedicated lift pass sales place but I think it was in the Tourist Office

Yes the tourist office just up from memory bar in the main street, or the hartkaiserbahn or the button lift at the nursery slopes.

polo99, we got our lift passes from the TO Crystal, same price as in resort and saves you the trek  you would only get stitched up on the exchange rate possibly, or you just pay in euros!

There is a ticket office at the Astberg lift as well (that is where I bought mine when I stayed just outside Going).
I think there are ticket offices at all the main base lifts - but I'm not sure there are at the nursery slopes.

Incidentally, the ticket offices take Visa (and probably other cards).

if i work out the lift passes for our family they work out at £520 getting them from the lift pass office. Crystals prices are £50 more than that.
Can anyone also tell me how often and crowded the ski buses are? how busy do you think w/c 26 th jan will be? Ive checked the timetable of school holidays and picked our week to not coincide with other school holidays.

We were there during a busy time so the morning bus was quite packed. Although the very first bus was quieter. We skied back in the afternoons so didn't worry about a bus then.
I would imagine it would be a bit quieter when you go so wouldn't be a problem.
Check how much Crystal are charging for lift pass on the bus (they may charge less than the advanced booking price). If it's the same as the lift office you may as well get them to do the running about.
