 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi
We are hoping to get a sneaky weeks, sking in before Christmas, does anyone have any suggestions on where to go, I have found cheap lights to Geneva, so somewhere near there would be good.
We like mainly blue & red slopes, don't mind the type of accommodation , happy to go budget accomodation, as already got a weeks skiing in January & February booked.
Woud like to book ASAP before husband changes his mind, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I asked an near identical question HERE for the same weekend and got lots of good suggestions. In the end we've booked Tignes. Not exactly close to GVA but it suits us for a number of reasons.

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

@Jja, the weather situation for the next two weeks is very uncertain. If you really want to book ASAP I'd pick Tignes. The webcams in areas closer to Gva look enticing at the moment but the FL is going up well over 3000m over the weekend and into next week. If it doesn't come down again fairly smartly a lot of those lower areas are going to look pretty sad by mid December. And a lot won't be fully open, even if the snow stays good, until the Christmas week.

Check out Saas Fee, were going out there the weekend of 12/13.
Just checked the website this morning and they're opening the runs from the glacier down to the village this weekend.

Ryanair flights for that week (12th-19th Dec) showing Stansted - Salzburg return for £36. From Salzburg you have about 40 resorts within 90 mins, many of which are opening this weekend such as Saalbach or Zell am See.
