@dave mac- totally agree on Switzerland being beautiful yet expensive, even my swiss friends ski in France or Italy. I came across Alpach in Austria? what are your thoughts. Is it better to book a package of accommodation and ski pass or do this individually?
Thanks for the tips about Niederau! The pub sounds fab!
It does sound as though you are relatively new to skiing. Alpbach has a fair number of steepish slopes, although it has a full range of slopes. It is reknowned as a "chocolate box village"
Lift pass prices are what they are. Yes there are Tour operator offers, but costs are generally included on way of another. You can google lift pass prices for any location.
For your chosen location, try googling the tourist board, and ask them for a list of b&bs. You should be able to get a room for around €30. Of course choose the location wisely, near restaurants, lift or bus stop.
