Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi All
We (me and Mrs OTR) are looking to make up a short list of possible destinations for a week's holiday next year. The plan will be to leave the off-piste gear at home (gnar will be later in the season)
I've skied a lot in Tignes/Val D'Isere, 3 valleys, Chamonix valley and Flaine
Looking for somewhere we haven't been before with a very extensive area, lots of pistes particulalry in red/black range - longish runs. Night life totally irrelevant. Happy to go with package or DIY, fully catered or eat out if local food not too expensive. Ski in/out preferred but not essential. We wouldn't mind going to France again but keen to try Italy or Austria for a change
One option could be Avoriaz as I've only skied there once before a long time ago but looking for other suggestions too
Low cost (within the context of the above requirements) would be a major factor
Thanks

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

@On the rocks, Have you done Les Arcs. It meets all your critria, but I'd be suprised if you haven't skied there before - lots.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Ischgl. Large resort, decent long runs, some challenging pistes - and lots of lift-served side-of-piste if you fancy it.
It does have banging apres but you can ignore/avoid that. Low cost could be the only sticking point but you could stay in somewhere like Galtur which is cheaper.
You might find Saalbach a bit too easy.

Arlberg, though cost might be an issue. You can find reasonable places in or near to St Anton, Lech / Zürs more expensive. The skiing is as good / better than anywhere else.

Arabba?

Arabba is light on black runs even fewer long black runs.
Great for cruisy blues and reds
