we want to try a different resort in Austria

Carol,

I don't think your lad will be too young but budget to pay for private lessons for the pair of them...

Wagrain and Alpendorf have some great guest houses that offer half-board accommodation.
Have you tried doing an accommodation request through www.skiamade.com ?
You put in what you want and where you might consider (eg. half-board, 2 rooms 2 adults, 2 kids within Ski Amadé and your dates) this then gets sent to a forum that all the guest houses and hotels pay to use. We then look at what is good for contact you directly.

It is a good system and means that you can often find cheaper accommodation than the heavily advertised hotels.

It is also worth trying www.booking.com and www.tiscover.at

Anyhow... Wagrain/Alpendorf/Ski Amadé is about an hours drive from Kitzbuhel so still pretty local if there are any probs with your daughter.

Nothing on that site Dave.... not good business for "N" :wink:

You are quite right Ian, thats not good for the Rubezahl. Niederau probably couldn't give a stuff. The Ribi is at the top of the mountain and doesn't affect Niederau.

Sepp Steiner owns the Rubezahl, and the Jochalm. The Rubezahl has beautiful rustics, well, think wood everywhere, big fireplace, guy on guitar, wienerschnitzels.... Stop, I'm filling up. :(

The Jochalm is known locally as Rudis. No one knows who Rudi was, It has been called that for all time. Again, rustic as rustic would be. Many J2skiers have spilt some beer in there.

Sepp speaks local deutsch at the speed of light. I catch one word in 10, (on a good day!), and just guess if a "jah" or a "nein" is the due response. Of course, if he has asked an open ended question, I am in beeeg strife.
