Visitor Reviews of Auffach

Back to Auffach!
This time we turned up on spec and got a great bed and breakfast with Frau Hausberger. Fifty euros a night and really nice. Not the cheapest way to do it but still good. The snow was not great and when it hasn't snowed in the area it gets very icy. The easy reds become hard work with the snowboards. Not great unless you can really edge. e decided not to come back as we have boarded it out now. Better choices are Val Gardena and Tignes. The snowpark has a three hat rating but frankly, is very poor. The halfpipe was wrecked and only a couple of jumps. Nothing really for beginners to the park to cut their teeth on. Strong skiing area so don't be expecting to be welcomed by everyone with your single plank. A big issue is pretty much everyone smokes even in the restaurants. There is literally nowhere you can eat or sit without being in a cloud. 44% of Austrian adults smoke and the average age of a new smoker is eleven (yes, eleven). They only just stopped smoking in schools. Smokers will love it, however, those opposed may find it a struggle. Better places to go than Auffach, really.
