December 2009

[turms]

I will visit Alps, from 18 unti 27 Dec.
I am between Zillertal or Dachstein Tauern.

To be more specific ...
Hauser Kaibling - Planai ,
or
Hochzillertal - Hochfuegen (or perhaps Tux)

Whats your opinion, especially for those days...where i will found less people, and which has better snow conditions in Dec? of course you never know with weather but...

Thanx...

Befor christmas less people go out for skiing. So i think it would not have to wait whether in Zillertal or at Dachstein-Tauern, but the areas in zillertal are a bit higher then Hauser Kaibling and you´ll have a great offer with the glacier.
That´s why i would prefer the zillertal, but both would be great and you would not have problems with the snow, because of the production of artificial snow.

I hope that will help you!

 

[turms]

THANX a lot...

i also think that it might be better at Zillertal..

Maybe i will choose the Z.

 

[turms]

between Hochzillertal-Hochfuegen, and Tux-Gletscher which is better?

for snow-conditions, slopes, not so many people etc

THANX

Hoch-Zillertal is much bigger than the glacier, but maybe the snow is better on the glacier. It depends on the weather conditions in December. But if buy a ticket for four days or more, you can use any lift in the Zillertal, also the glacier.

i will definitely stay there for 8 days of skiing, but i want to do more skiing in one place...
However THANX

 

[br403]

Where are you from? Are you travelling by car? If yes, you can visit all the ski areas in the Zillertal.

 

[turms]

i am from Greece
i will come by air (Munchen) and then rented car.
However i prefer to stay in one ski area...
to improve my style...

 

[turms]

i also consider Kronplatz and Dolomites...



aaa...every time the same...cant decide...

 

[br403]

Good option... Due to a lot of artificial snow in those areas, you will have a lot of open lifts. But you should consider the weeks before Christmas.

wll i know its early...but i am dreaming snow...and October is very far away...

anyway...i am between 4berge (Haus-Planai etc) OR Kronplatz + Dolomite

will see...

 

[turms]

I also consider Saalbach, because there are many blue slopes for my wife.
Do you think it might be overcrowded?

 

[br403]

No, not before Christmas.

 

[turms]

thats nice...

at least 5 from 8 days of skiing will be pretty ok...
i suppose the days of Christmas everywhere will be overcrowded...

 

[caro]

Overcrowded, that depends on what do you think is overcrowded. But the areas you think of might be "overcrowded" not before the 25/26 of december, because many people not want to travel before. Smaller areas around (e.g. Lofer) should not be overcrowded later on, but i read you prefer to stay in one area.

 

[turms]

well...in Greece if you go skiing during Christmas, you will wait over 25 m. to take a lift...

so Overcrowded for me = waiting over 20-25 m. for almost all the lifts in a resort.

However, i think to take salzubrg super ski card, so i have many options for days of Christmas to visit smaller resorts around there...

 

[caro]

I never had to wait longer than 10 (to 15) minutes even during christmas days at the Hochkönig areas, maybe that would be a possibility for you aswell. Maybe we will see each other there!

 

[turms]

yea...i will stay in Maishofen, so this is also a good idea..

i will definitely go Maria Alm for nighti ski....
