Excellent resort. As a low-intermediate snowboarder with only UK experience I loved the variety of pistes and no queuing (late Feb). Choice of gondolas or chairlifts. I travelled alone and found everyone very friendly, especially at Tirolhof Hotel which I'd recommend. I speak no German, which would have been useful as they are mostly geared up for Dutch visitors not English. Flew to Munich, about 2 hrs easy drive by hire car and straight onto the pistes before going to hotel. All 5 linked resorts in easy reach but the free bus connections unnecessarily complicated. Driving is easy and parking free and available. Only downside - incessant umpah music from the piste-side facilities - at least the lift to the amazing Zugspitze was playing Pearl Jam. Don't be tempted by the cheapest options in restaurants unless you agree that greasy onion and potato constitutes a meal. Otherwise, excellent - I'll certainly go again if I get a chance and I would fly-drive again.

Have just returned from spending Christmas in Lermoos.
Hospitality was all it was cracked up to be.
Hotel:
We stayed at the Zugspitz sport hotel at the top end of the village. It is a four star hotel where comfort is assured. We had a good gym and the usual steam and saunas available and the food was immense. Can not fault it at all.
Skiing conditions:
Bearing in mind they had a big dump om the Saturday, and then nothing except a nice light fall on Xmas day, no complaints, the weather was so cold that the snow makers were on all the time and so it was always fresh and white each morning.
Resort: and others in the valley
Ironically we did not ski much in Lermoos itself, but the nice ride up in the gondola led to an interesting blue run all the way down, which my wife and children with only artificial slope lessons in the UK managed to pick their way through. Just a shame the first forty metres from the lifts always seems so steep as they loose confidence, but they were quite manegable really. All in all seemed a good base to ski, with not too many queues, although people do pour over the border on weekends and holidays to clutter it up.
The family had lessons at Biberwier and I can strongly recommend both the private tutors from the ski school, as well as the slopes. Spot on for novices, while I went higher and had fun on the higher reds. Terrific slopes well marked, groomed and plenty of drinking holes.
Berwang, on the other hand, was a nightmare for us. Whilst it had undoubtably some lovely sweeping runs, they were not numbered and often the pistes themselves bore little resemblance to the actual piste maps. Taking the family up from the gondola we came on to what was meant to be a blue, but was in fact a medium red and this totally threw them causing much grief between me and her indoors. Seriously though not a good place for beginners or nervous skiers who like to know what's around the corner. The other problem is that the main access to the mountain got very crowded with ten to fifteen minute waits. To get down to it was a challenge for some as well. Shame because the hills had loads of snow and there were excellent long pistes through trees, but I think it was a poorly designed resort.
Ehrwald: now this was a peach of a place, they have two centres, we went to the Alm lifts at the far end of the village. Fantastic skiing with wide runs which within the same piste had varying levels, e.g the right sides contained some rather tricky ripples and jumps whilst the left side was flat and allowed the family to watch me make a fool of myself.
All pistes were well marked and numbered, and the levels corresponded with those on the maps..Two excellent days here.
Finally the Zugspitz glacier itself:
Wow. Highest mountain in Germany and Austria, fantastic blue runs, and some reds, and guaranteed skiing due to the altitude but wrap up well; often got to minus 17. We went up just to suss it out but spent the whole day up there walking, probably not for the top skiers, but an experience to beat the Hintertux except that you could not ski down to the bottom as the skiing is contained in a very high bowl, but go there anyway.
Getting around:
All the above areas are covered on the superskipass, and of course there is a free ski bus. We found that the buses had limited visits during the day though, and as we drove it was so easy to just drive ourselves. Be sure to have snow tyres though, we did not find a parking place or climb that defeated my old Mondeo with a good set of Pirelli snow tyres but would have been well stuck without them. From Lermoos there is nowhere that took more than 15 minutes drive to get to so it is a very good base camp.
Getting there:
We drove. It took about 8 hours from the tunnel. Easy roads and toll free. We have gone to different places every year for six years now and would not consider doing the fly tour operators thing again.
Overall:
Great venue, we still have other places to look at next year, but this is certainly one, like Adelboden. We would consider coming back to in the future. In ten days we only scratched the surface of it. The hotel in particular was probably the best we have stayed in.

Spent a fantastic New Year in Lermmos. Very friendly people. It does get busy as it is a day trip from Munich but no real bad queues. Great hillside lunch spots and some good snow. Did get a little icy at times when the winds got up but it was January! Too many boarders for me but that is common now at many resorts.
Overall, I would go again. Certainly, the whole arena was good. Erhwald was a good option on the days when the wind closed the lifts at Lermoos. Both villages had plenty of variety for eating, the swimming pool at Erchwald being a surprising find.

I first visited Lermoos in 1963 & 64 and have returned every year since 1982- 2008. My children and grand children have learned to ski on the Grubigstein. I would recommend the Hotel Tyrol and Post. But my little Pension will remain a secret to you all. Over many years we have seen Lermoos constantly update its lifts, its snow machines, piste machines and its mountain restaurants. Make the effort to get to the Wolfrathausen hutte, Bhorgi will give you a very warm welcome and try her Jaggertee: the best in Austia. Get your ski equipment at Maders in the Kirch platz.

We first came to Lermoos in 2003 as a family and we have returned every year since then. We have always stayed at the Hotel Post which is on the church square and only 200m from the bottom of the ski lifts. This is a truly fabulous hotel with superb, large (not usual in ski resorts!) rooms, great food and in particular a very special level of service and personal welcome. The Grubigstein is the local ski area and provides plenty of variety and challenge for less ambitious skiers like us. It is relatively low altitude but the slopes are north-facing and superbly maintained - even in last year's very difficult conditions, there was top-to-bottom skiing on well groomed pistes - much snow brought down the mountain each night and many snow machines.
In summary, Lermoos and in particular, the Hotel Post, are very highly recommended for family ski holidays - we'll be back in March.

I had no intent on hitting Lermoos because it was partially out of the way for me, but when the Zugspitze was closed because of avalanche danger, I was told to try Lermoos. This was perhaps the best advice I have ever received. The snow was a foot deep and powder lasted until the afternoon. There is no doubt that I will soon return to Lermoos on my way to some of my favorite Tyrolean resorts like Serfaus and Ischgl. The hospitality at restaurants was also 'tser gut!'

A really wonderful Austrian village resort with a good mix of gentle and challenging skiing, efficient lifts and above all friendly locals, hotels, bars etc, Hofherr's ski hire and sports shop is one of the best family ski businesses in the Alps I know. Nothing is too much trouble for them. The altitude is generally not a problem early or late season; as the smooth green cow-pastures turn quickly skiable with only a few inches of snow and there are plenty of snowsure higher runs, in addition to the Zugspitze Glacier itself. The different villages (Ehrwald, Berwang, Reutte, etc, all on the Area Pass, give all the variety one could want, but with one thing in common, that fantastic Austrian hospitality. Only one requirement: more cheap UK flights to Munich or Innsbruck.
