Hello Snowheads
I am looking for a recommendation for slopeside accommodation. Been to Orso Bianco in Sauze d'Oulz a few times now but looking for a new retreat.
Prefer Austria or Italy but will definitely consider Switzerland and France.
Looking for Chalet or Half Board
Do your best !

@Smokin Joe, Hi, what sort of skiing, other activities, resort features do you prefer? Any must-not-haves? Budget or rough cost? What time of year you thinking of going?

@Smokin Joe, I've not used it but Mountain Sun in San Cassiano is right by the piste. Others on here have stayed there and I think Inside Out have used it.

@Smokin Joe, as geepee said, we've used the Albergo Frohsinn in San Cassiano several times, run by Mountainsun. It's a budget hotel, but the staff are friendly, the hotel bar is reasonably priced and the location is unbeatable. Genuinely ski in & out, located at the intersection of a red and a blue piste, and just 60m above the main gondola out of town. The centre of the village is about a 10 minute walk away. The location offers easy access to the Sella Ronda ski domain, and you can even ski home blind drunk in the dead of the night from the nearby mountain restaurant without anyone noticing. Highly recommended.

Hotel jagerhof ischgl. 50 yard walk from the hotel to the lift which takes you to the the dorf tunnel which is a travelator through town taking you straight to the fimbabahn. Can ski back to within 100m of the hotel. Food and service is great. If you want more convenience you can stay at hotel Elizabeth which is right opposite the pradgratschbahn gondola and run 1 but costs a bit more. Not stayed there so can't speak to the quality but it looks good and gets good reviews

Practically any hotel in Obergurgl or Obertauern or Oberlech will be ski in/out. The excellent Jenewein in Obergurgl is right next to two major lifts and you can ski back to the ski room entrance.
In France Powder n Shine's chalets in Reberty are right on the piste and really good.

@Smokin Joe, Chalet Maison Jaune in Les Houches, privately owned and run by the owners who live there all season.
Beautiful chalet literally on the piste with fantastic views, ambience, food and accommodation. Very good local knowledge from the owners and there's a lot more within the area than plain stats suggest.

What I meant was the owners live there all year not just the ski season, just to clarify.

@Smokin Joe, I'm guessing that's THE Angel then nr Tyneside?
Interestingly after I was on here earlier with the chalet Maison Jaune recommend, I then saw it on ski Sunday later on. Just by the road crossing on the Kandahar downhill course.
Amazing co-incidence.

Then it's Obergurgl. Most hotels are pretty near to ski in/lift out. Two lift points out of town. Went to Hochfirst last year; walk to back of hotel, skis on, up T bar and down to gondola. Ski right back. Hotels aren't cheap because they can charge because of guaranteed snow (high and west facing slopes) but are generally of good standard. Just over an hour's drive from Innsbruck.

@Smokin Joe, We stay at the Della Nouva B&B (loads of places for evening meal) 7 steps from piste in Pila Italy. Super small resort ok for a short break and very quiet in the week - busy at weekends though. Hence we do mon-Fri and travel at weekend.
If interested speak to Carole at Pilasik.co.uk and she will sort you out. Other half-board or SC places in Pila are available through her too.
