All this talk about Lech has convinced me it's a good place to go.
So what are the chances of finding reasonable-priced self catering
accommodation there over new year week (27/12 - 3/1)?

I don't fancy St. Anton - from what I hear it's far too noisy for the
likes of us. I've heard Stuben (I think it was) might be good though...

Lots of people like St Anton, I prefer Lech and Stuben, we go to one
of the two for Xmass and I weekend there pretty often. If you like it
quiet then you'd probably prefer Lech and Stuben. There's Zurs but I'm
not keen, just a collection of expensive hotels on the side of the
road, but other people like it.

Either way, terrific skiing, Lech sometimes seemed overshadowed by St
Anton which is a shame, Lech has some great skiing as well.


And coming by car, is there any chance we might not be able to get
there?

I've never had a problem and I go quite often, it's been interesting a
couple of times :-) Not sure where you coming from or what you're
driving though, in my part of the world we mostly drive on winter
tyres in the winter aqnd I've four wheel drive.


If they could sort out their web site, maybe I could check some of
these things for myself, but it keeps crashing my browser.
