 Poster: A snowHead
|
Afternoon 
Well, it's 1 week since my first skiing holiday and I'm desperate to book another week in March but no idea where to go!!!
I've just been to Morzine / Avoriaz for a week and loved it. Loved the feeling of the town and how beautiful the area is. I was skiing mainly blues and then reds towards the end of the week and there was plenty of choice of runs to keep me busy for the week. I had a great time and I'm so tempted to just go back there but think I should look to go somewhere different!
I will be after half board accomodation (for 2), probibly the week starting 12 March. Want somewhere with decent skiing for my level, and ideally not too far from the airport as I don't fancy a long transfer!
It can be any country really, again don't want to fly too far!
Where would you recommend I look to going?
Thanks x

Try Cervinia in Italy it has some great wide fairly easy red runs, it is about an hour from Turin airport. The town itself is nothing special but plenty to do and the scenery is stunning with matterhorn constantly in view.

Millie10, as you are so enthused about skiing and want to improve, you might look at the holidays run by UCPA (Action Outdoors sell them in the UK and arrange travel) because good quality tuition, ski hire and full board are all included in the price. All the feedback on snowheads is positive (my son in law has done 3 hols with them too, and my daughter 1). The seem to offer outstanding value

Millie10, for that week (after French hols if you were thinking of France) you could probably wait to see what the snow is like and book a late deal. Your first ski holiday can be quite intoxicating with all that fantastic scenery but there are lots and lots of places with the same or even better! That said, we went straight back to our first destination but now make sure that we also try other places too.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

good advice. The snow conditions at the moment are far better in most of Austria than in most of France - but by then, the situation could be the opposite.

Zell am See in Austria would seem a good choice, very old fashioned town centre and set at the side of a huge lake. Skiing is good for beginners and there are plenty of blue runs and wide open red runs at the Sonnenalm.
Again late booking might be a better idea as the snow conditions could change (should be fine then though) but if worst comes to worst your lift pass would cover the glacier at Kaprun, so there will always be somewhere to ski.
Transfer is fine.
