just make sure you avoid half term (assuming you can?) - the main week is 11th to 19th but a few schools may be off either side
Booking last minute - is it a good idea

Im just putting all of them on my favourites and will prob try that for Feb. Suppose you have the benefit from looking at the web cams as well to make sure theres snow which always helps.
Yeah its very nice, was there in October already :)
That will suit my mrs as I won't be able to steal the duvet!

:shock:
yep no worries there! - going for the 28th :mrgreen:
If we can get two people over there with half decent B+B acc with ski hire and lift passes for 800 to 900 squids I'll be well chuffed.

No need to wait, First Choice are slashing prices already.
Just got a great deal for one which is usually very expensive with room supps, to Oberau which is next to Neiderau.
1 week half board at the 3 star Gastof Dorferwirt for £217.50 from my local airport at Doncaster on 24th January.
Area list passes are £107, Skis £43. All sorted for £367.50 which is around £200 of the brochure price.
Ski bus stop is outside to take you to Neiderau or Auffach and there is a small ski area on the doorstep.
Did not check for Feb so there could be discounts there already.

Tino, the Bad Hotel in Hintertux is a great place to stay - we did a fly-drive there two years ago and arrived too late for dinner that evening - they gave us a discount at check-out even though we never even mentioned it.
Plus, they do complementary hot food at lunch-time.

Point of information, you understand that an Austrian twin is not the same as twin beds? An Austrian twin is one large bed with two matresses and duvets.
Most people cope with it, and we don't know how your party is made up, but sometimes guys together are not keen. Dunno about the gals. :roll:
I'm going to concentrate on austria as it seems to have the largest amount of twin room type acc

As for where to look, try Inghams/Neilson/Crystal etc websites as they have special deals. Also try bookableski.co.uk, directski.com, catered-ski-chalets.co.uk, skiworld.co.uk, rocketski.co.uk, skideals.co.uk, snowdeals.co.uk and teletext holidays. You will find something. Dont worry about the doom and gloom of the economic climate - there will be as many ski flights as last year, if not more. Dont forget you can also book easyjet and ryanair, although these dont work out the cheap bargains we used to find. BA do good priced flights too. XL Airways going wont affect the ski flights really, they were only chartered to fly when other airlines became fully booked, and Thomson/First Choice have now merged, so there are more planes available this season between the group for ski flights.
Good luck!!
