@ChrisP3, Also, Ste Foy is south facing, which means lack of snow could be a problem late season. |
Thanks for your support to keep the crowds away! I won't correct that

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

@feefee - just to add 2p worth: our skis haven't been out of the UK in the last five years. With all the faff and expense of lugging them around we find it easier and cheaper just to rent top flight/new gear in the resort. For a week, it's about EUR60 or so if booked online in advance. You also don't have to worry about loss/damage/anything with them. For a longer stay, the economics are a bit different but the removal of the hassle factor is still there.

We've stopped here before in Pettnau;

Nice location, ski bus at the bottom of the road. Nothing in the way of apres other than stopping in St Anton and getting a later bus back though. There's a good sized supermarket too on the road up to St Anton on the left so worth having a hire car for that if nothing else.
We flew in to Memmingem too which was closer and really easy to get through as such a small airport.

There seems to be a lot of France suggestions, so I will join In! How about Val Cenis? Has a village, convenient to skiing, North facing for April and more extensive than you would think by never hearing of it. Few chalets but lots of hotels or apartments. For expanding the area and days there are regular buses to other ski areas in Maurienne Valley, Termignon or Aussois for example. Failing France, take a look at Chalethotel Diamant in Kronplatz (Dolomite ski area) with www.mountainsunltd.com if it's a special occasion. Skiing, obviously, but other stuff to do and pool, masseur,sauna etc in hotel plus catered accommodation. Accommodation only but offer transfers from some airports. Hope that helps, have a great time wherever You go!
