Been looking this morning and my big concern with nearly all the Austrian resorts not just Amade altitude.Most resorts seem below 1000m and mountains peaks only upto 2000m and that worries me.

I was orginally think cervinia but as we have already been to Sestriere/Milyway we thought we would try another country..As we are all 40-48 we dont know how many years we have got left in us

You have plenty of years left :thumbup:

My left knee would disagree..But if it comes to that i'll take my £9.99 sledge

Definitely a few resorts to look at.
I was leaning towards Lech/Zurs but Price is a factor when we book hence Pas and Sestriere.
Interesting about Amade as there doesnt seem to be many reviews about it but it is listed as one off the biggest ski areas ??? are they all linked??

Thinking about Austria Next year..But not sure where
I've briefly been looking at Zurs/Lech
I read a post on the best place in Austria and most people rated St Anton ,but on the same note it seems to get slagged off by alot of people
Also been looking at Amade as it seemed quite a large area??
Theres going to be about 8 of us all 40+ skiers & snowboarders prefer red or blue slopes
3x Pas de la casa 1x Sestriere
May be a few bars
We can only do 5 night so not sure if thats a problem in Austria

thanks

How did it drain your battery?
And am I right in saying it works on GPS and not 3G so doesn't cost to run?

I started the app then put the phone in standby/locked so didnt use much battery at all
I turned Data roaming off so it only worked on GPS ,so no cost...I also forgot to turn it on day 4 when we started thats why it shows less than the other days

Correct...Half down a small blue run ,knees bent head down or you had long walk to the cafe

The rest of the top speeds were on my back like a turtle

I've just came back from Sestriere in Italy .I tried a few different apps and by far the best was Ski Tracks...Iphone 69pence Android 79pence
I used a iphone but had Data roaming turned off so it plotted my route fine but the map was blank .When i got back home and turned everything back on it loaded the map .So if you have data roaming off it might be worth find a Wifi spot in resort so you can load the full map before you set off .
You can switch between Miles or Km at any time
