 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi all. I'm getting the ferry to Belgium for February half term next year (due to ridiculously expensive flights) and wondered if anyone knows where I can go for a decent weeks skiing?
I know I can head down to the Geneva area in around 8 hours, but does anyone know of anywhere closer? Doesn't need to be a huge resort as the children are only young and learning, but somewhere child friendly and hopefully going to have snow in February??
Thanks all for any help.

Switzerland or Germany is your best bet. February half term and Geneva in 8 hours when Dutch and Belgians are all driving to the Alps as well - dream on... 10-12 hours is more realistic. Im based in Belgium and few years back went to Apls during the Belgian half term - traffic jams started well before Luxembourgh and continued till final destination.... Best time among our group was 12.5 hours, others took 14-16 hours ... All left at diffrent times. Not looking forward to this february's drive .....

Swiss Alps - almost anywhere, Bernese Oberland region for example. As for Germany, do not know much about it, Zugspize maybe

closest in the Alps is probably somewhere like Engelberg, although there's the Vosges and Schwarzwald that are closer. But a little more driving brings in pretty much half of Switzerland, Vorarlberg, probably quite a few in France too.

Cheers guys. I've tried j2ski but it brings up hundreds, most of which are little tiny things with 2 or 3 drag lifts.
I will look at the German resorts but they're not very high and I don't want to risk no snow if I can drive another hour or so and get a much higher resort in Switzerland
Thanks again chaps
