Cheap flights

Try Luftanasa & fly into Munich, very reasonable prices which include luggage & ski allowance. £86 return tends to be the average that I pay Manchester to Munich. Onward journey return train fare to say Mayerhofen £60.
DIY it's easy.

Echo Bandits comments welcome to the forum.

I think it was 2007/08 season when alot of low lying resorts were suffering from unseasonally high temperatures. That season we were in the skiwelt, somehow Scheffau managed to get several runs open to the bottom station, which was great, the only downside was that every skier in the Tirol & souther Germany turned up to ski.
Having said that I have had some of the best skiing days ever in the skiwelt in January, (2006/07 was a vintage year.) Slopes are usually quieter & the pistes tend to hold up better, generally there are good deals to be had.
I tend to go off piste with a ski instructor, local knowledge is the key to getting the best out of these mountains.

Good luck

Going to be there for two weeks staying at Pension Marriane. Will head over to Kitz & the Skiwelt a few times. Quite a few of us heading out so it should be a good trip.
Unfortunately Jan was always out this year due to work.
Dave, we will just have to plan things better next time. :lol:

Good report Tino, easy to get lost in conditions like that!

That was a fancy looking hot toddy.

That's reassuring to know Tino, especially as we will only be there for the weekend.

Ideal for 2 ladies in their 40's...



It's as good a choice as any, the ski schools are very good. Snow conditions in Jan/Feb should be good.

I will be returning there in Febuary with my family & i am in my forties. :lol:

Current conditions 9/21 lifts running serving 20km piste.
Last year 50km piste open by early October. Always the risk of not getting on the Glacier if the weather closes in.
