Anyone know anything about restaurants/apres in Ellmau? Know the SkiWelt quite well but usually go to Söll - just looking at a couple of different options for this season. Don't want anything full on crazy but we enjoy lively apres. Many thanks

Hi everyone heading to Kaprun for the first time in March. Recommendations for ski hire please? Also if any of you have recommendations for restaurants/Après spots in town that would also be much appreciated

Alpbach is part of the SkiJuwel which includes Auffach and Niederau. There are fun parks In Alpbach and Auffach. There's also a family fun park in Oberau with ice skating etc. The Bögalm is quite a nice mountain hut, it's underneath the gondola.

Hi Dave
From memory, you won't need a lift pass if you're all total beginners as you will be on an almost flat field in the village with a rope pull lift. However this will probably be for only 2 days max before you move onto the nursery slopes, all of which have button drag lifts for which you WILL need lift passes. The full Skijuwel lift pass is unfortunately the only option. I can highly recommend the 1.Skischule Wildschönau for lessons. |

Thanks everyone for your ideas. I do wear thermals/layers with thumb holes. Have bought a pair of silk liners so will give those a go. Tried on a pair of Sealskinz mittens which had fingers inside - liked the feel of those but a small was too big. Also tried on Rab Storm gloves which also felt good. In the end I found a v cheap pair of Nevica gloves which feel v good compared to what I have been wearing. I have a horse, so if they're crap for skiing I'll wear them to the yard instead!

Anyone any favourite brands of mittens? Starting to suffer with v cold hands so thinking I'll give mittens a try. Currently use Salamon or Hestra gloves with Hestra liners but due a change.
