Hello all.

I am going to be in EU for work in mid-Jan and plan to jump over to Austria to get in a few days of boarding.  BTW, I will be flying into Austria from either Amsterdam or London if it makes a difference.

I am looking at 3 diff areas on the reccomendation of an acquaintance:

Mayrhofen
Saalbach Hinterglemm
Zillertal

If anyone has any experience with these places, or can point me in the direction of some good online resources, it would be much obliged.  I am especially interested in finding a place which has some good nightlife / young crowd, and somewhere I can get a place for very cheap, even if it is a hostel.

Thanks,

Sam

hi,

mayrhofen is in the zillertal. i recommend to search for accomodation in mayrhofen because this is the place with the most young people and parties. and from there you can go snowboarding in an huge resort

saalbach is also a nice busy resort but i guess you´ll have more fun in mayrhofen

Yeah Mayrhofen is a great place to ride, and great for parties aswell, just dont the road there is Zell am xiller which has some good riding too, but small resort so night life is not so good, check out the Zillertal for sure  I loved it when I was there

Thanks for everyone's advice.

Can anyone reccomend a good cheap hotel or hostel that I can stay in Mayrhofen?

Also, how easy is it to get from Innsbruck airport to Mayrhofen.  What is the cost for this?  How often does the transportation run?

Thanks.

Your welcome dude, anytime, best person for times and prices is Brabbl, though it took me about an hour at most by coach from innsbruck to Mayrhoffen.
 
Chris, again I dont know much about the place, best off again chatting to Braddl and see what she knows, sure to be a lot
