thanks, glyn.
have tried lots of places but am faced with rapidly escalating prices by the hour. i'll try ebookers, haven't tried that one yet. on igluski.com, late last night, the vicky hotel flashed up at £299 down from £800-plus for sat 9th. i rang immed but it was gone!!
the sonnschein has rooms and a flight for a total of £840-plus, but someone's having a laugh at that price!!
this is all my own fault!! it might be that i forsake the red jacket this year... or throw a sickie in a few weeks' time.... (done that before!) !! have a great time in niederau, who knows, may see you there in a few weeks time at this rate!

thanks AJ, will try that ryanair one. searched comprehensively on ryanair last night but didn't see anything that low. here goes ...
march, end of, in niederau , where i need to get to, is iffy, as it's a low resort. and last year was SO bad, but the two years prior to that were out of this world for snow, late into the season.

Hi All,

I was confused about this and so today I tracked down the 1st Choice Rep and asked him for the low down. It seems that 1st Choice use the "Aktiv" or Blue ski school. Apparently it does say this in the brochure (but maybe it's in that huge block of small print at the back!)

As an aside the rep gave me this number: 0043 535 667 220 which is their central number for local enquiries. May be a useful number to try!

Finally he said that as Thomson, Inghams and First Choice are all owned by the same company, the company may well decide to book ALL lessons with the "Reds" next season.

Hope this helps someone.

Last year at the season end, the snow at Niederau was fantastic. OK, the bottom schuss was a bit watery in places, but the mountain was beautiful spring snow.....until about 2.00pm, whereupon a gluewein, a perusal of the Kitsbuhler Alps from the Kropfraderjoch restaurant, and a chat with the locals seemed the right thing to do.

well, i didn't make it to niederau over half term after all. i have been so miserable that i haven't logged on since then! thank you to all who put forward very useful flight suggestions. i followed up all of them, but when i actually telephoned to book, many of the flights we no longer avaialable, and the coach/train up to gatwick (as i cdn't get a flight more local to wales/south west) added another £50.00 or so. i was even trying to book a flight in the middle of a cover lesson in school on the friday!!! the kids were very amused and behaved impeccably as i begged the operator to search for this-and-that!
but thanks averyone.
am very worried about the conditions in wildschoenau at the moment. when did it last snow? ooh-err. i recall when i was there 3 years ago, digging my car out from under the snow: all you could see was the shape of a nissan micra - and that was in march!! L.
