Tony,
Plan B is to head for Worgl rail station, park up, throw your stuff into a taxi, and 15 Euros to Niederau. Get your car the following night.
Sorted.

True.
This is following on from another post regarding advice for a ski road trip in Canada. The point being that if you can leave your accomodation flexible then it can work out well for both driving and skiing, when the best days for skiing are generaly the worst days for driving.
As far as winter tyres, errr, Austria ;) 01/11/08 - 15/04/09 ...
err, no they don't ;)
true, it's never quite happened to me but we've been close a couple of times.

Tony do not think you will have any trouble on that rd in 05/06
there was heaps of snow and had no probllems in a rear wheel drive, which did have winter tyres, even used the top road over to Hopgarten Soll after a snowfall with no problems.

You will have no problems in Niederau, all roads will be heated, the locals will put on your snow cans for you and you can't get lost as the road is lined with peroni. :lol:

Don't assume that just because you're on a motorway route you won't need chains. I've been on the motorway from Lyon to the Tarantaise when chains have been needed!
Like all good scouts, being prepared and expecting the unexpected are important!
