"Niederaud" is widely spoken in bars and restaurants mainly during the ski season, it is also a local custom to tip
in logs, the down side of this is that you will need to hire a wheelbarrow.
Have a good holiday

Will a snow-chain be required for the wheelbarrow? Where can I buy a single snow-chain?

Not to mention the need for ones own chainsaw. I believe only axes are available in resort!! :D

Re snow chain - does the wheelbarrow have steel or alloy wheel?

:lol: :lol: Anyways.. sorry, here are the questions:

thats hilarious brucie! dont start another debate about snow chains..............which by the way I ended up going for cheap ones off ebay. Hubby is going to fathom them out this week! so fingers crossed lol.

Oh and while we are talking about Niderau, just exactly how do you say it! Folk keep asking me where abouts in Austria I am going and everytime I say it, it comes out different lol!
