 Poster: A snowHead
|
Good afternoon
I am able to take a 'sneaky' late trip somewhere, departing the weekend of April 19/20.
Managed to narrow down some decent deals to Les Arcs, Cervinia, Obergurgl or Solden.
I last went to Cervinia in 1980; perhaps it has changed a little since then?!!!
Been more recently to Obergurgl (a little underwhelmed) and Solden (loved it!).
Had anyone else skied at any of these resorts that late in the season? Were they predominantly open, both in terms of resort, shops, bars etc and the ski area? What was the snow like when you went?
Thank you for any guidance.

You won't get a better deal than the EoSB. I wouldn't ski any lower than VT or Espace Killy at that point in the season. Never had anything other than almost all runs in VT open last week in April.

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

LOTA, Cervinia probably hasn't changed at all. I know nothing about Austria. But I'd want some decent high skiing available if required (although we have skied Avoriaz in great snow around April 2 . EoSB not a bad idea. Otherwise book flights into somewhere with decent choice (GVA) and see what the snow's doing.
Almost guaranteed though, it'll be late starts and early finishes. But that's what spring skiing is all about, isn't it?

Thanks, sadly it appears the EoSB is full (not the biggest fan of Val Thorens, any way). I do have the advantage of thousands of Avios air miles burning a hole in my pocket and the flexibility to leave making any booking until the very last minute so can assess snow, weather forecasts etc almost up until departure.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

LOTA, I think that the auto linky is going to LAST season bash.

I think Cervinia will be a good bet. I am going there from 2 April for a while.

Thanks for the updated link (silly of me not to look at the date). However, not a big fan of Val Thorens so will probably do my own thing. Cervinia certainly has more than enough snow at the moment - will keep an eye on how it may last!
