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 :-)

Film Chalet Girl on Ch4 now

 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead
Just noticed that there is a film called Chalet Girl on Ch 4 at the moment. Looks pretty awful, but there are some scenes of St Anton Very Happy

It is starting again at 7:15 pm on Ch4 +1, might record it for later viewing...

I thought it would be tosh Alastair Pink, but it is fairly enjoyable - for the St Anton scenes rather than the storyline I should add!

I did the same the first (and only) time I've watched it, along with 'spot the mates' as a number of them appear as extras/in the background.

Saw it a few years go and it was a lot better than I was expecting. Nice shots of St Anton too, I wonder who actually owns that chalet.

I can help answer that question, as I said in a previous post, I was playing "recognise that location" Laughing

You might have noticed from the exterior shots of the "chalet" that it was located right by the side of the piste going down to the Galzigbahn - there was a sequence early in the film where the Chalet host Kim just walked a few yards out from the chalet through a gateway and got nearly mown down by some skiers. Actually the building is the town's ski museum and restaurant! Laughing . The ground floor hosts an up-market restaurant with hunting trophy décor, and the ski museum which is upstairs is excellent and well worth a visit as it details the history and development of skiing in St Anton.
The interior scenes of the "chalet" will have been filmed elsewhere/ in the studio.

RobW, its a bit of a chick flick - girl meets boy rom-com in the snow. If you think you might fancy it I'll send you my DVD (only ever watch stuff once in general).

Shimmy Alcott, Thanks for the offer, but not really that bothered - more interested in the scenery/background/technique than the actual story.

Having visited the building previously, I also immediately recognised it in the Chalet Girl film. I would also recommend spending an hour or two in the museum. Very interesting displays of old ski equipment and also some good films of skiing in the region through the years. One of the films (I can't remember which) included a demonstration of an old skiing style which reduced the group I was with into tears of laughter. It involved somehow flicking the rear tip of the skis up into the air before starting off!

^ The Museum is great, and the food even better -we ate there 6 days a week (included in the cost) on my ski instructor course. Was a set menu rather than their full menu, but still very good.
