 Poster: A snowHead
|
So already I'm excited about ski season and would love to book the holiday soon so I really have a lot of options. Problem is I wasn't too taken with the resort last year and would really love some advice on where to go.
I will most likely be going with a lot of family members who will vary from skiing very often to skiing maybe once before and aged between 8 and 55. I think the best place to go would be somewhere with long, cruising slopes that everyone can enjoy. I don't think anyone is really bothered about spending the whole day on black slopes. Personally, I would like a few difficult slopes but I think I'm the exception here.
So the main things I'm looking for are scenic, long slopes, a lot of new places to explore and a reasonably pretty ski village and preferably in Austria or Italy (cheaper). Last year I was in Pila and Andalo and both were skied out and a bit boring by the end, also not very pretty towns. Thanks in advance!

Dolomites. Arabba, Corvara, Colfosco, La Villa or Selva all fit the bill. Great ski area with all those villages connected.

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

Cortina, while we're on a Dolomites theme. Skiing is a bit fragmented, but the loveliest town in the region.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Well I think we've established the Dolomites a perfect in every way if you're not too fussed about lots of difficult piste skiing. Corvara is my favourite. Not as busy as Val Gardena and near to adventures such as the Hidden Valley, Great War Ring and Marmolada.

With that post I think you have just described the Dolomites perfectly.
Any of the villages others have mentioned should be fine.
