Where to?

tino_11 — GMT

Hoping to get some guidance from you guys..... All is not well in the land of tino, so decided I'm gonna pack up my board and get on a train on Wednesday night for 3 or 4 days riding somewhere, the question is where? I have looked at 2 options so far, one being the Hintertux and the other being Chamonix. I am based in Karlsruhe in SW Germany so getting about isn't really the problem. I want to go somewhere with snow obviously, somewhere which is decent enough for the lonely wanderer and somewhere thats not gonna send the bank manager loopy. Any ideas?

One word: Glacier. Hintertux would be my recommendation, especially in terms of your location, although there is also Stubai to consider. Chamonix, Zermatt, Tignes. All worth looking at I would imagine. I guess it all depends on where the snow is best and what the forecast is. All I can say is "can I come too?"

You are more than welcome, eek out the season a little. I just need to get away for a few days, and with Germany's exceptional public holiday offering, May is a great month to do so. Do you know if the Post Bus runs from Mayrhofen to the Tux as regulary at this time of year? just wondering where to stay accomodation-wise.

BTW, Chamonix has extended it's opening for the season. Terrific snow depths, and lots of places to stay!

Hmmm, quite fancy Chamonix, but getting there is not as easy as Austria. Anyone been to Kaprun?

So I got it done... Travelling overnight tonight, will be in Mayrhofen at 10am, checked into my hotel by 11am, and on the Hintertux Glacier by lunchtime. 2 half days and 2 full days riding here I come :o) They have powder too according thier own website!!! http://www.hintertuxergletscher.at/de/schnee_gletscher.html?topmodul=schnee&chosen=schneebericht&topmodul=schnee Happy days, never been to the mountains alone before, looking forward to the P&Q and being able to relax. Got a couple of good books (about the mountains) to keep me company, I can't wait :D

let us know how you get on. I have never traveled alone cause always too chicken and look like billy no mates!! However, these days it seems its not so strange, so I may try it next year as most do not want to go more than twice a year and cant always do a spur of the moment thing. Have fun

I thin for ISE's sake you should move it to VERY LATE SPRING AND OUT OF SEASON SKIING.
