Berwang

All,

Has anyone been to Berwang skiing?
I have had a look on the net and it looks superb for novices to learn to ski as there are many green and blue slopes which would be ideal for my girlfriend.

We are looking to go at the beginning of March next year so some advice and help would be greatly appreciated.

Also, any suggestions of other resorts with plenty of Green and Blues to get some experience on skis.

I've driven past, near to Lermoos I think which is pretty big. There is, or used to be, a Tirol area pass that covered most of the stations around there. In fact I think Berwang is linked by bus to Lermoos which would make it one of the stations in the Zugspitz area, the Zugspitz is the highest mountain in Germany although there's not so much piste skiing on it.

Ideal for what you're wanting although so many stations in Austria fit the bill as well.

I recently ran a thread looking at "Austrian resorts, suitable for both beginners and experienced skiers". They both have differing needs, so the combination is not straightforward.

For beginners, Filsmoos was suggested, and the Inghams photo of the village approach seems to bear this out. Obertauern also looks good.

Stewart, Filzmoos is where you need to go my friend. Havign ski'd with you and Zowie, its exactly what you 2 need from a resort.

Hi Stewart have not been to Berwang,but to Lermoos a couple of times it is excellant, and links to other resorts are 1st rate free local travel on the train service is included with your geust card.
