Feldberg Report
Following recommendations from this group, we spent a few days in Feldberg.
(3.5 hours drive from Frankfurt-Hahn airport which we flew to for £248 for all 6 of us!). It was the end of the season and the snow was slushy, not helped by the rain. Still good enough for the time of year though and all but 2 lifts were working. We stayed in Hinterzarten nearby (3 bedroom flat for EUR 70 per night!!!) and drove 20 mins to the Grafenmatt area of Feldberg. Ski hire at SkiSchule Thoma was excellent. Cheery staff and reasonable equipment at good prices. (EUR 10 per set). On the other hand, we had reason to hire some gear from the place nearby I think called OnSnow. The person was rude and offensive to my wife and only the intervention of her instructor prevented a worse scene. It was also more expensive. Avoid. Would we go back to Feldberg again? Well, probably not unless we were in the area. It's good for a short break but anyone used to larger areas would find it a bit restrictive. Somewhere between a Scottish ski area and an alpine super-area I would say. But for a short, good-value break it was ideal. Thanks to all for the suggestion. Roll on 2006... -- Adrian |
