Thanks Vertical

Thanks for your latest advice,

Are the trains reliable, frequent and reasonably priced?

Do you have any good destinations to reccomend?

Also I%26#39;m very confused with the weather forcasts.

Some say 60cm of snow by weekend and others only a little snow then RAIN!!

Do you know any reliable weather sites on the net?

the one I%26#39;ve been using ishttp://www.j2ski.com/snow_forecast/Austria/Seefeld_snow.html

Happy new year to you and all onthis site

Hello pev:

Thank you for New Years Greetings !

Trains are clean and reliable- price is OK and depends completely on the length of journey in Kilometers- basic rule about 7 kilometers for 1 euro +-.

for train info use

austrian rail website

www.oebb.at.

just insert beginning point and destination- no need to prebook- just buy your ticket at the station when you go.

for good weather info

www.wetter.at

click on skiwetter- then on tirol ( region) then to Seefeld on skiorte

You will note 2 seefeld sites

these are the 2 ski mountains of Seefeld

Gschwandlkopf - in town and just a little lower

Rosshütte- just out of town.

easy to read pictures indicate weather

schneehöhe -is snow depth

Berg= mountain

Tal= valley

now -4 grad Celsius and snowing

you can scroll below for 6 day forecast-

I find this site to be good - I watch this too as I go next week for days in Salzburgland and Tirol- after the crowds leave and prices become lower.

For visits - Mittenwald , in Germany is a nice place.

The old part of Innsbruck nice too, but not enough for a full day.

The Palace is interesting as are some Churches.

Hall as recommended by someone is OK too- a change of train needed.

I would wait to make fixed plans until after you arrive as much to do in and near Seefeld.

You can be very flexible as no need for train reservations.etc.

Enjoy !

Latest on snow- good amount of new snow today in many places-including Seefeld.

Just a quick thing about snow - rain information on weather forecasts-

Many places have great variations in altitude and thus temperature.

While it could be raining in the valley- it is snowing above a certain level - often around 1000-1200 meters and above.

Thus a mix of forecats.

Our weather report here usually has an addition- something like snow above 1000 meters - you then know it will rain in the lower valleys while snowing above the altitude mentioned.

This altitude level is a good help in picking a winter resort- those with higher elevations having much better conditions.
