Long weekend - Where to go

how long dave , does it take to ski from soll to kitzbuhel approx

Good question Charlie. Season before last, Admin & I skied from Hopfgarten to Going in a couple of hours, managing to get lost twice, (it is the world's worst piste map!)
From Soell, up the Hohe Slve, ski down, up the Zinsberg, down the Filzalm to Brixen. Gondola to Westendorf, Gondola to Kirchberg, Ski over to the Hahnenkamm.
Not that long in ski time, maybe half and hour, but Gondola transfer and queuing, ~ would not like to guess.

Dave, I can't believe you got lost in Austria, ever thought about a GPS :wink:

Keep the sun on your right cheek, Ian, (on the way there), and yodel if you get stuck. Nothing will happen, but you will feel better.

On the transfer, I should add that I have been from Soell down into Brixen, and from Kirchberg over to KitZ, but I haven't done the link. The Gondolas are fairly new.

Stamford,
Have you had an e-mail back yet from the Mountain Sun people in Tignes etc. ?

Hi Ally, yes I have but been away for the weekend and not had chance to look at it yet :wink:

Stamford, if the Mrs is paying, you'll get better value for a week away and not a weekend.....in which case, Europe is your oyster.
I'd recommend Austria if you haven't already been, just because for a lads week you'll benefit from a better night life and cheaper beers generally.
Mayrhofen is a good shout, as is St Anton (albeit more costly) from the places I have been.
You might also like Sauze d'Oulx in Italy with the lads, great ski area often uncrowded, and good bars etc in the town.
Sauze and Mayrhofen are always available on cheap package deals.
