 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi, I'm planning on flying out to Klagenfurt in Feb and then taking the train to Brunico to meet some friends.
I'd like to stop off at one or two resorts en route, and am just looking for any recommendations.
Rail-accessible resorts in the area I'm aware of include Gerlitzen, Spittal an der Drau, Lienz and Sillian.
Don't need masses of skiing as will only be at each place for a day but would like attractive towns, splendid Dolomitian scenery, and relatively easy access between railway stations and ski areas.
Any thoughts/info etc much appreciated.
Thanks.
Neil Neige

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

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

We stayed in Lienz last April before driving through towards Bruneck. It is an attractive and real town, mountains rising up on all sides. Our hotel was a little up on the west side of town (not so convenient if you are travelling by train) and just off the piste down from Hochstein (if there had been any snow on it by then) which goes right down almost to the town centre. Also skiing on the other side of town at Zettersfeld. So we didn't try the skiing but it looked worth a day or two.

John Smith - thanks for the suggestion. I'm actually ending up at Brunico and skiiing with friends there for a few days. I read about Percha. Looks like they've got a new gondola right by the train station - sounds ideal! So, I'm looking for some extra places on the way there from Klagenfurt, really.
One gun - thank you for this. Lienz does sound nice so I think I may well have a day and overnight stay there. Looks like there are two local skiing areas linked by bus.
Wonder what the nearby Sillian's like...

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Would Nassfeld/Hermagor be too far off the beaten track for you? It's worth a visit! There's a train station at Hermagor.

Another thought, though again I haven't skied there, would be Innichen/Sexten, just into Italy - and on the Dolomiti Superski pass if you would be getting one of them when you get to Bruneck.
