Looking to make one more snow trip this year to break in some new gear and see a bit more of Europe. Wound up looking at the Kitzenhorn glacier near Kaprun. Airfare to Salzburg is pretty cheap and the transfer is tolerable, but I have no idea where to stay.
Anyone care to recommend a hostel nearby? Or somewhere else (and somewhere to stay) that will have snow in JUNE? Wont have a car so easy access to the lifts is important  Chur |

Got a reply from Haus Patricia:
The hostel is closed 5 May to July and the glacier closes 2-20 June for maintenence.
She also mentioned that the best time to come for late boarding is April/May then Oct/Nov for early
season.
Yoda, where did you stay at Saas Fee? |

| First year in the Hotel Dom, the 2 years after in private apartments near the lift station. It worked quite a bit cheaper for 3 of us, would have been even cheaper with 4. |
