Söll sounds good! I'll meet ya at the top on Hohe Salve on Saturday morning :-)
Enjoy - its a helluva great place :-) Looks like you are gonna miss the Sapporo Snow Festival based on those transfer dates which is a shame.

As I say - the SuperSki pass is not bad as such, depends where you wanna ski, but I prefer the Tirol Snowcard personally.

Skiing in Niederau sucks, but Auffach/Alpbach is good and a 10 min drive (or bus), or Hopfgarten is 10 mins in the other direction. So with a car it works well.

But I agree that for real convenience of better skiing I would rather be based in one of the SkiWelt towns directly.

I would not use Airbnb. I can ask around for you, but would only be my Niederau connections so that doesn't sound ideal. But for example Auffach is a cheaper option and the skiing is pretty good (but then you are 20 mins from Hopfgarten).

As you will see the "current" price on the Superski card is €830 or €747 if purchased in early December, so break-even is roughly 15 days of skiing.

But you wanna also consider the Snow Tirol card at €825 as it has more ski areas. Gets a little complicated as for example Zell am See is on the Superski card and NOT on the Tirol card....so study in advance which works better.

That budget should be plenty enough with a little digging around. I know people that pay half that amount in Niederau....but again depends on exactly where you wanna be, how close to the slopes and bars etc etc.

You may wanna consider Itter for example....it is quieter socially but of course still SkiWelt. Are you there for skiing or Apres-Ski :-)

When you say 2021 I assume you basically mean "next season"?

"Hi - I've booked in Westendorf"

Awesome job. I am actually moving to live there permanently. It's just about perfect in this general area because:

1. Connects to Skiwelt
2. Connects with a 3 minute bus to Kitzbühel
3. Has 4 gondolas that go to the top from different directions (warm and comfy!)
4. Has a brand new €17m 8 seater heated lift that also goes to the top.
5. Plenty of places to eat and drink when needed.

Obviously you don't wanna be down by the train station as that really is "wrong side of the tracks" but there are ski buses, or taxis of course.

Basically once you get on the main Alpenrosenbahn gondola you have ALL options and enough skiing at hand for a month easily!!!

p.s. As you are down on the road you probably can also get a skibus to the brand new Fleckalmbahn which gets you into Kitzbühel ski area.
