Finkenberg

I am going to finkenberg next week staying at the gratzerhof. Has anyone stayed there and can tell me what it's like and what the resort is like. Thanks

It's a good deal, I personally haven't stayed there but I heard from my "new" family that it is a nice area

From my readings Fink is a part of the Zillertal valley area. Mostly glaciers, mostly heaven.

Have a great time, if you can do it take a pic of the glacier for me :) Are you from the area?

am from england, thanks for post x

Finkenberg is a very quiet little village just out of Mayrhofen. The ski area is one I know well, having ski'd it a number of times, and provided the weather is good, you will be able to ski right across the whole area. You get the quiet gondola up onto Rastkogel Mountain, and I recommend skiing in Eggalm too as its good red slopes and quiet up there. But Penken has some fantastic varied terrain, and Ahorn has a lovely red and some easy blues.

For night life, you will need to go into Mayrhofen, but taxis arent expensive, and food and drink is reasonable compared to France or Italy.

If you want any info on ski areas and specific runs or places to eat and drink, please feel free to PM me.

Hope you had a good time and visited the Finken Nest...

Strangest bar I've ever been in - it snows inside for one!

:shock:

lovely place and ideally located from a skiing perspective as you don't have to queue all day to get up the mountain; unlike Mayrhofen. The Finken Nest is as mad as a box of frogs, it does snow inside and the pole dancers on a Wednesday night i think it was were superb :lol: The only downside is it is very popular with the Germans and the Dutch which could cause problems with the ski school. My wife ended up in a class as the only english speaker and the ski instructor was getting on a bit and obviously didn't have the patience to repeat every instruction in English :!: Needless to say she learnt very little and after 2 days she came and skied with us. Having said all that i probably would venture back again as the skiing was superb and you can jump on the bus and ride 10 minutes up the road to Lanersbach and ski Eggalm. We did this and skied from Eggalm over to Rastkogel back over to the Penken and right over to Horberg and then back again :!:

So this would be an ideal bar to party at?

Definitely.
