We'll be arriving into Munich late at night so don't want to have to drive too far.

Does anyone have any tips about Garmisch? One reader review I saw said the upper lifts were a bit outdated, which doesn't concern me too much - but is it possible to ski back to village level there? And any recommendations for self-catering accomodation?

(I know Garmisch is Germany and this is an Austria forum, but the Germany forum is pretty quiet)

Thanks again.

Garmisch is just down the road from Seefeld isn't it? I can't see it's much quicker to get there really.

We'd really like to avoid a bus or car journey to the lifts and to be able to ski back to wherever we're staying - especially as it's only a three-day trip :thumbdown:

An extensive ski area isn't too much of priority as we won't need that for a shot stay.

So Seefeld looks a distinct possibility as www.wtss.co.uk says there's a red run right back down.

I haven't had a good look at the other resort reviews yet, so there might be others which are equally convenient.

No chance. Not when you set it in dynamic positioning mode.
Anyway, you're a boarder so what do you know, apart from ridiculously big pants.
