Default Why Is Austria Skiing Dirt Cheap For USA Right Now?

Accomodation in that week is the most expensive & of the season & the
most difficult to get . Most of the self catering units get blocked
booked up by the big scandinavian tour company's. ALot of people
especially from Germany just come down for the New Year celebrations.

Persistance is the name of game in getting accomodation in this period.
I would say that 75% of visitors to the Arlberg are regular repeat
visitors like myself, so we are booked in by default until we cancel.
All the hotels & Landlords are looking for customers who will fill there
houses for a complete week or two.

Goodluck

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...

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

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