Poster: A snowHead
|
Does anyone know if there is a good on-line map of the Alps, showing roads, towns and airports (like a good motoring road atlas) but with all the ski resorts highlighted? Ideally also showing railways and stations - I.e. everything in view at a glance. I'm thinking of trying to fit a long weekend in, but am having trouble working out which resorts are convenient for which airports. Any ideas?

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

It still doesn't have resorts highlighted 'at a glance' - you have to know what you're looking for first!

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

I'm now back at home in front of my copy! While it's pretty good (in fact, the best I've found) it still doesn't show railways, road numbers etc., nor all the airports (e.g. no Friedrichshafen (sp?) on the Austria map). I'm pretty surprised that there isn't such a thing available as a "skiers' motoring atlas" - I'll just have to make my own by using WTS&SB to annotate my Europe road atlas!

lewis, that looks perfects - thanks.
nbt, Google earth isn't particularly user friendly from what I remember - takes ages to re-draw, not very good on road numbers etc.

Dave Burt, there was skiers atlas produced a couple of years ago, it might be worth searching via google etc.
