 Poster: A snowHead
|
Anyone like to give me some info on good resorts that are close to Zurich airport - am willing to travel about 3 hours (by car) to get to destination
Other factors are:
1) decent ski area/ ski pass coverage - good mix of intermediate skiing (and some at beginner level as well - have 4 newbies in tow as well)
2) affordable accommodation
3) access to high skiing (as we plan to travel 1st week of January and were undone by weather last year in Serre Chevalier - which i know was unusual but still frustrating!)
any and all suggestions gratefully received

So long as you are not trying to get in to a resort for Newyears eve/ Newyears day you could probably leave things till the last minute and see where the snow is

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

doogo, take a serious look at Flims-Laax. Big spectacular ski area, up to glacier level, with some superb runs.
If you're going a few days after New Year I wouldn't pay upfront for any accommodation anywhere. Wait for positive snow reports. If you want to book ahead, I'd do it on a cancellable basis since it's low season and accommodation is up for grabs.

Look at the resort websites as there will often be some attractive packages in January. e.g accomodation, lift pass, ski hire, lessons combined.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

David Goldsmith, thanks for that reply - have had a look at the flims-laax website and goski.com, ifyouski.com for comments and it does look great - any chance you have any recommendations for accommodation for a group on a not-too-expansive budget?

doogo, I second the Flims recommendation. Nice resort with just the right mix for everything from beginner to expert. I've spent two weeks there. once in Flims in Hotel Crap Ner (don't worry about the name) and once up on the mountain in Berghaus Nagens. Nagens was pretty basic with big dormitories. Not everyones idea of fun being stuck in a room with thirty other snoring individuals!
Had a great time both times.
