Make sure it's clearly marked "CUCC EXPO" as well as your name, then it will be clear to Karin (the Gasthof owner).
Please don't send stuff in this way before base camp has people staying at it.
We don't want to create work for Karin by making her keep a lot of packages carefully for us.

we have an Amazon account registered in Germany whcih can do next day delivery to Staudnwirt. Ask Wookey for details.

of allowing for stopping off en route in Paris, Cologne, Frankfurt,

Munich or Salzbug depending what route you take. But you are best booking
early for the cheap deals. It can be done in one day if you set
off very early from London (6am). The limitation is that the last
train to Bad Aussee arrives 21:43. You can get to Stainach-Irdning
or Attnang-Puchheim (either end of the branch line through Bad

<em><p> it's worth repeating the details of the crazy "DB Euro Sparpreis" fares between London St Pancras and anywhere in Germany.
Salzburg has been annexed by DB and counts as Germany for train purposes.
These are only available via Brussels so you need to add a stop of around an hour when searching for tickets.

In comparison Eurostar want £88 for a seat on the same train from Brussels to London, so the

is usually the cheapest way to get to Austria. It covers travel from London to anywhere in Germany
(which includes Salzburg), starting from &euro;40. Breaking your trip at Salzburg can save &pound;100 easily,
even if you don't actually get off the train there, just change ticket! Book early, though (3 months in advance for best prices).</p>

<p>The last stop before Bad Aussee is Obertraun (from
Attnang-Puchheim direction), or Kainisch (from Stainach-Irdning
direction). Don't get off one stop early like someone did in 2015,
and then decide to walk the extra 10km uphill. Nor set off from the
