Want to travel train in Austria & accommodation

kalico

Hi. We would like to travel by train in Austria in January and also find a good deal on accommodation for a weeks skiing.

Does anyone know any good starting points/websites etc for arranging such things. I suspect it could be quite pricey to just turn up and try to find a hotel room or apartment.

Thanks.

Hello kalico

Your thread will be better placed in the 'Travel, Trips & Holidays' board, so I'll move it across for you.

Hi, Martin’s asked me to post this in these circumstances: I’ve asked Board Guides to move threads if they’ll receive a better response elsewhere(please see this rule) so this post/thread has been moved to another board, where it should get more replies. If you have any questions about this policy please email [EMAIL="abuse@moneysavingexpert.com"]!!!!!![/EMAIL].

The German railways web site is excellent for train times in the whole of Europe including the UK.

The man in seat 61
https://www.seat61.com
is excellent for info on foreign railway travel and I believe will answer specific questions. Beware, his site is very inspiring - before you know it you will be wanting to travel overland to Istanbul or Morocco!
