Skiing in Austria -Innsbruck need help with planning
Hi everybody
I am planning a skiing trip to Austria and I need some opinion about this. Any help will be much appreciated. My plan is to fly to Munich or Vienna from Toronto. From there I want to rent a car and to drive to the place where I will be staying. Period 16 Dec-23 Dec 2006, one person. I am intermediate (I had no problems at Whistler on the blue rated trails) I would like to drive around every day and to try a different trail each day(or area with trails). I had a short look at Innsbruk and the slopes around and it seems to be OK. I need some advice from those of you who went there before. I need to know if the trails are OK for my skills, I would like to know if it is worth renting a car (I heard that there is a shuttle that takes you to the slopes) I need some recommendations regarding a place to stay ( I do not need much confort, shower, one bed and a table to take a meal are enough- internet and TV will be considered luxury :-) ). I still need privacy so a dormitory is out of question. I don't know Innsbruk at all of course, I guess I am not wrong if I assume that a city of that size would have a big store where you can buy all your groceries and food so you can not depend on food provided by hotels and restaurnats. I am planning a budget vacation so this really counts. I also heard that the skiing pass covers the area not a specific trail ? How much does it cost ? Any recommendations or links to sites that I can use to plan this vacation are usefull. please don't hesitate to post them. (renting a car, booking my acommodation..this are things that I am working on) One more question: I believe that the snow will not be a problem for that time of the year. Am I wrong ? Thanks to everybody NP PS I decided to go to Innsbruck because of the scennery. Any other suggestions regarding this ? |
