Hey Moogy, if you hung out with regulars in the Kellerwirt, did you meet up with my mate Tony after skiing? He would often be wearing his Ski Club racing jersey, with the gold dragons on the sleeves. Originally from Manchester, but lives in Oberau.
SAH, lunch is available on the mountain every day. For the passport, check Inghams Ts&Cs.

I had a squint at the DIY from Dublin, that Ryanair flight was around 260 Euros, and that is before Ryanair start their cost-doubling! There are a good few Irish ladies go to Niederau, so there must be reasonable TO deals. Skigirl and Mamabien may be along soon, might have to wait until the pubs shut though......

Is the 3/4 days your perception that it would be cheaper than a week? This may not be the case. 3/4 days tends to mean d-i-y, whereas you may be able to get a good one week deal.
Re diy, Easyjet is no use for you, but Ryanair go to Salzburg.

I doubt that winter has arrived yet. Areas that are down at 2/3 degrees today will be at 19 degrees by Saturday.

It is coming though!!!!

Hi Cheapskate, welcome to J2ski, you may have chosen a name that ought to belong to many of us on J2!
For people to offer possible solutions, it would be helpful to know where you would be travelling from, ie nearest airport(s)
In my first year or so, I would hitch 100 miles to the Lake District,and walk up Cross Fell, carrying skis. That was cheap! I had little in the way of options!
Andorra vs. Austria (for ski holiday)

Great if all you want easy cruising but there's nothing to challenge even a mid intermediate.


Gosh, I only pay 225 Euros for my season pass!

The food at the Kellerwirt is very good, but I don't know if the package deal means different food. All the J2skiers that reported on here gave it thumbs up. Ski Hire, Stephan Margreiters shop is 100m down the hill. Sandbichlers is directly opposite. If you google them, you can reserve skis through their agents. Slightly more costly than Skiset.
