We are planning to spend Xmas in Gosau near Salzburg in the mountains,Austria.Does anyone know if we will definately have snow at this time of the year.
Shouldn't be a problem. Snow in that area normally starts around Nov and carries on to at least Feb if not March. Travelling is no problem as the authorities know they are going to get the snow and are ready for it! I used to drive my truck to Austria and only once had to wait for a snowplough on a main road...and he came along within 20 minutes! I remember in Vienna once it was headline news in the paper that the daytime temperature had got about 0C for the first time in living memory in January!
