Mail for help.Help!!

Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Hello again,
Having come back a successful trip to Morzine this half term, I'm now planning next year! Thanks for helping with my questions last time... this year I fancy somwhere different. We diy'd it this year but hubby doesn't want to drive and I don't really want to cook this year. I've found a Crystal chalet in Canazei in March that fits our budget and although it looks great, I don't know anything about the resort or the skiing. The reviews ive seen look good. We like cruisey reds so think it will fit our type of skiing but its the children I'm not sure about. Is there only one ski school in Canazei and what are they like? Will we be able to take them off after lessons to somewhere they are comfortable with? They are 8 and 5.. with one week each, both are confident but the little one has only done esf kindergarten whereas our daughter was doing the blues and a red in error in morzine this year by the end of the week. Is it a good family resort, with plenty for all? Any other cheap accom / package suggestions would also be appreciated.... so far I've priced this up at £2600 all in. Many thanks in advance Very Happy

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

MrsCnP, do you mean Canazei? I can't offer an opinion on the resort but £2600 all in for a family of 4 at half term sounds like a very good deal to me and Italy should be a fair bit quieter than France at that time too Smile

that's peak holiday time still in France, so heading to Italy would probably make sense. Can't help on Canazei though I remember always fancying a trip there.

Main Canazei Belvedere ski area is just one large plateau mostly perfect for beginners. A bit like Les Gets Chavannes area but 20x larger. Or possibly even larger than that. It may be red on the map, but 80% of it is blue.

But we'd still get a decent ski when the children weren't with us, yes?

Yes. There is way more beyond that main Belvedere area, in both directions (much of that also good beginner terrain). And even more beyond that.

Don't forget that the rest of the Val Di Fassa is easily accessible from Canazei. The area between Alba and Pozza is only 10 mins on the free bus (less than that if you stay in some of the Crystal chalets) and most of that area is fairly gentle, excepting the easy black down from Alba, though you can use the gondola to avoid it if you don't fancy it.

Which chalet are you looking at? Some of the Canazei chalets are actually in Canazei town, and others are further up the road towards Alba so you get the free bus to the main Belvedere lift, if that matters to you.

Canazei has only one main lift out of the resort and one piste to get you back to the village -- that's a minus point. Plus points are -- it is a cheap resort for skiing the Sella Ronda ; a free ski bus runs up and down the valley ; Alba, just five minutes up the valley, provides a quiet, snow-sure bowl perfect of families.

there are plenty of posts re Sella Ronda/Dolomites and its resorts -- just a couple for u Smile
