 Poster: A snowHead
|
Morning
Hopefully be able to tap into your wealth of knowledge
Landing in Munich at 9 tonight and hiring a car for the drive to Serfaus, it looks from the forecast like there will be some snow, so how is the Fernpass route for a car with winter tyres but no snowchains (I dont want snowchains, the snow would have gone by the time I have worked out how to fit them and the weight would mean Mrs Monkfish couldnt take her straighteners)
Not sure whether to play it safe and go via the longer A12 route or to try the pass - I am a confident driver, so the only real issue would be the conditions making it impossible
Google maps reckons both routes take the same amount of time - but through a few searches on here the consensus seems to be the Fernpass is the best route to take - this still the case?
Cheers for any advice, be nice to get to Serfaus before 3am

I picked our friends up last Friday at 8pm from Munich Airport and drove to Serfaus. Straight through the middle of Munich, Garmisch, Fernpass and into Serfaus before midnight.

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

Cheers for the info, will go for Fernpass, no point having a ski holiday without a bit of adventure 
Looking forwards to Serfaus, going to get the ski-6 pass and check out Nauders, Fendels etc, the joy of going friday night and coming back sunday night - 9 days skiing always beats 6!

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Monkfish, Fernpass at that time of the night is good. No Dutch caravans / busses expected. I would definitely go that way. Serfaus is great. You will enjoy, unless mad apres is what you are after, in which case it may be a bit tame.

For anyone elses info, it snowed all the way from Munich to Serfaus, I went over Fernpass and it was ok, but only just ok, if I wasnt a confident driver I would probably be booking in for some therapy right now, but as I do like a driving challenge I actually found it quite good fun! ...but next time it snows heavily I'll go the long route and be safe

Monkfish, surely the drive up to Serfaus was a bit more challenging?

Well actually stayed in the valley at the foot of Serfaus (cheap!) - but the drive up was never a problem through the week (though we only got a few cm on the days it did snow)
They seem to do a very good job of keeping the snow off the road, not such a good job of stopping rockfalls coming off the mountain and landing on the road though, that definately needs looking at before somebody gets seriously hurt
