Its that time of the year again

Well having done Bulgaria last year and not really liking it and being a Niederau regular for the last few seasons I thought Id try something different.

I decided to book La Thuile in Italy.

Yep ill probably get slated for it but I wanted decent snow and not queuing up for ages at ski lifts.

I went Niederau in February and it had changed severely from a couple of years beforehand. It kind of felt it had lost its village charm a bit. Still had a great time though abd still like the place.

So how many of you have done La Thuile and what dud you think of it?

Hi Nuttynutnut. Have a look here.

This winter will be 48 years since my first season in Niederau, and I will be back twice this coming season. Plus a visit to Zell am See, plus one other visit to be decided where. But since my season pass covers Zilliertal, across ski juwel, Kitz Allstar and Salzburgerland, no guesses for the area where I will be steering my ski buddies to!

It is right that the village is changing, there is a lot of Dutch spending and development. However, the Brunner bar has re-emerged, and all the old bars are still there.

Yes La Thuile is a pretty good shout. You are quickly on to the gondela, with some good skiing. Also a good route over to La Rosiere in France.

We took our lads to La Thuile when they were 9/10 years old. The local pizza shop wouldn't serve them ~ unless they asked in Italian! After three days, they were confidently asking in Italian, very kid friendly place.

Re the changing face of Niederau, presumably the Sonnschein is still going strong and in the good hands of Mr + Mrs Thaler ?
