went to Hintertux Glacier on April 2nd 2013,
Skied for 3 days.
it was great.
Thanks

Dave,
We have been to Kaprun several times & love it,
the car drive up to the glacier is not ideal as we like to have a few alcohol beverages during the day.
In Kaprun, Resturant 'hamburger Biesl' & also 'Dorfgrug' are excellent.
Hotel Kaprunerhof is great.

For our next trip our minds are not yet made up.
Snow condition, accomodation availability & commute time will determine.

Thank you for your comment

We were in Ischgl week 1 Dec & Mayrhofen week 1 february.
We are considering Livigno Italy (v long drive)or St Anton Austria.
Where do you recommend in Austria for good snow/skiing this time of year???

How is or did your trip to Mayrhofen go???

Our first sorti to Mayrhofen!!!!!
My wife & I fly from Cork to Munich on Sat 23rd Feb for 4 nights.
Will hire a car and drive to the resort.
We booked hotel Maria Theresia Mayrhofen.
What recommendations do you have??
We can't wait to go....

My wife & I arrived in Munich Airport on Sat Dec 1st 2012.
Hired a car and drove 2h 45 minutes to Ischgl.
We booked into hotel Alpina, Junior suite, E88.00 per person per night - half board.
Super Room, super clean, super staff, super location, super Ski room.
As part of half board; the evening meal options were very limited.
That said, We would definitely stay in hotel Alpina again.

The apres ski in 'the Schatsi bar' (part of hotel Elizebeth)at the bottom of the slopes was thoroughly enjoyable.

Our best find/discovery was the bar/resturant on the top floor of the Silveretta/Fernau gondola station in the Idalp base.
Most days we had Tomato Soup, Apple Strudle with Vanilla sauce, followed with Irish Coffee. A relaxing read of a good book, while sitting at the bar counter, good down time!!!

The ski conditions were very good, we really had a good time. We skied mainly around the Idalp base and made a number of trips over into Switzerland. The Wednesday we left the resort there were major snow dumps, no doubt further enhansing the skiing.

My wife and I look forward to returning to Ischgl in
the future!
