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 :-)

Recommendation for ski resort

 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead
Hi guys looking for somewhere to snowboard/ski 3rd week in Jan (intermediate me, beginner girlfriend), with easy transfers, good snow, and not too expensive.

Been to super Morzine/Avoriaz twice, normally stop in Morzine for the night life and get the cable car up to Avoriaz. Would like to go somewhere new but if not can always head back to Avoriaz as guaranteed the snow.

Any recommendations much appreciated

Many thanks

So many places, Three Valleys, Tignes, Les Arcs, Serre Chevalier in France. Saalbach, Ischgl in Austria. Somewhere in Sella Ronda in Italy.

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

Tom W, of the places in your list, several probably don't fall into the "not too expensive" category and compared to morzine a number of those don't have easy transfers, either.

kev1387, To narrow things down a bit it would be helpful if you said a bit more about what you want in a town, what sort of accommodation you want and whether you prefer to be "ski in/out" or maybe stay more centrally in a town with more character. kev1387,

pam w, Your are right, I did not read it carefully Wink so that will leave Saalbach then (transfer is not bad, snow is usually good at least till mid March, runs are great and nightlife is epic).
Serre Chevalier might be cheaper than other French resorts, but transfers are probably over 3h.
Or if you ok with 3h transfer there are almost always reasonable last minute chalets deals to La Tania in Three Valleys.

 Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Skiing at Innsbruck would have the shortest of transfers and from what I gather would tick all other boxes too. But I never understood why 'easy transfers' are important to anyone else other than those travelling with small, wayward children who don't really deserve to go skiing anyway. Toofy Grin

I agree - a pleasant 3 hour drive in the mountains shouldn't really be a big problem for adults!

moffatross, pam w, Agree, unless you want to ski on your transfer days.
But otherwise if you wasting whole Saturdays just for getting to the resorts, 3h on the bus is nothing, or at least not a deal breaker.

that's pretty difficult, for the most part, if you fly. If you do want to ski on transfer days the best way I've found is to travel by coach. Two whole Saturdays skiing!
