Poster: A snowHead
|
Preferably in Austria or France, high altitude, for one beginner and one intermediate/advanced, where there are lots of other things to do (other than skiing, in the event the beginner (male) gets fed up with DH - although he does like XC), would be much appreciated.
Pretty please with a glacier cherry on top.

@Glacierz, welcome to snowheads. SOunds like Austria might be a better idea for you so that you can base yourselves in a town - perhaps Zell Am See might be worth investigating?

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

@Glacierz, welcome to snowheads. Both countries have enormous choice. As @nbt, says Zell am See could be a good resort as could Ellmau (although not that high) lots of beginner slopes near the old village and well connected to a big ski area. I'm biased about France where there are many good choices and especially the 3V. Meribel has a great mixture and layout of pistes. This is deliberate. You can ride the same lift and whilst one of you skis a blue the other can ski a red or black and end up in the same place. There are many areas like this across the 3V. There are also a couple of good zen zones for the beginner as well as xc tracks. There's also a public gym, swimming pool,and indoor climbing wall, bowling and a cinema.

I think that Steph has it in a nutshell. The Ski Welt is a good big area with plenty of scope for beginners and for more advanced. The various villages have differing facilities for non skiers or non-skiing days. I like Ellmau but there are plenty of offers out there. Good luck and do post a trip report afterwards

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

For a beginner I think choice of ski school is a very important factor in whether they enjoy their first experience, and take to skiing or not.
