Skiing in Austria is far better and cheaper than France with great infrastructure, fantastic mountain restaurants and apres ski. I gave up on the hell hole that is GVA years back as it’s just chaos on weekends in winter. Been travelling from EDI and MAN to MUC for a few years now so saves the two hour drive and extortionate parking fees. The LH terminal at MUC is very slick with great shops and restaurants and very calm. Great onward connections too. This route cannot fail in my opinion. Well done to all involved in securing this.
Not to mention attracting inbound tourism either directly from Germany or via the Munich hub.
