Good reviews on Trip Advisor though...

Sounds terrible. Go somewhere else. :wink:

Hi SkiGirl, I'm just looking at this for you now. Taking into account the date you've just given, the deal looks to be 'so so' to me.

For the same week the Harfenwirt (which is across the road from lift) is £567, so add around £210 for lift pass and skis and it comes to £777. This is without any discounts on the holiday price that you may get from waiting for the Feb deals to come out. At the moment that's an extra £30, in exchange for staying across the road from the slopes, as opposed to a 5 minute walk away.

I'm also not sure what Ingham's mean by 'local lift pass' which is included in that deal. Just had a quick chat with MrEvs about it. I didn't think you could get a pass which excludes the wider (Oberau and Auffach) area, but he thinks he can remember the rep offering us a restricted one the first time we went. If the deal includes a restricted pass then this would be of a lower value than the one I've used for the above comparison.

Thanks Finn :thumbup: . Depending how it goes I'll probably ask my instructor to come down it with me. Or I might just wait and see if he suggests it :? . Last year I found the Merchenwiess Dave talked about quite freaky at the top, until it gets into the trees. If I can come back having done that one comfortably I'll be a happy bunny anyway.

Update - Just watched a BBC news bulletin and apparently all of the major insurers have confirmed that people shouldn't be charged extra for using winter tyres. They (the insurers) have said that anybody who is should contact their Head Office direct to notify them.

Giving them the benefit of the doubt, it would sound like they were ill prepared for the surge in interest in winter tyres this year, and hadn't issued anything to staff to clarify how they should deal with queries.

If I were cynical, I'd say that it suited them to let things roll until the profile of the issue was raised.

Oooooh you little...
