 Poster: A snowHead
|
Probably an old question but Im after some advice on where to go in Feb half term?
Not insanely busy or expensive?
We are a couple with a toddler, both snowboarders (15 years +), who have decided to make the switch to skiing, so going from expert to intermediate.
Just got back from a week in Finland, which was ace to pick up skiing and great for the little man to hang out, snow bombing and sledging etc but we want to get back to the mountains proper for the next trip.
Where would be a good bet to work on our skiing, get some good snow, have reasonably easy access from accommodation (ideally apartment or chalet) to slope, due to toddler logistics and not cost us a Feb half term fortune.
Or is this moon on a stick stuff?
Cheers

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

Looks great for little people, thanks. I quite fancy Austria too, as its been a while since I have been there.
Thanks

+1 for Ellmau. Also reasonably convenient transfers etc. But not the cheapest. We are going to www.mareo.it for accommodation and skiing at www.kronplatz.com It's cheaper because not dependent on UK school holiday times. But less convenient to get to. Flights are expensive to anywhere at half term so we are flying out on the Friday and staying at a cheap hotel overnight. Coming back on the Sunday for the same reasons

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Also looks great at Kronplatz, thanks. Also good point on a Friday flight, we both teach but can probably get away early to get a Friday afternoon/evening flight, if we can get flights from Bristol.
Im also not averse to options where there is lots of cross country ski options, im getting quite into it!

We had an enjoyable week in Nauders last February much cheaper than the big resorts but enough to keep us entertained.

Also, Nassfeld is a reasonably large area which doesn't get too many British, so may be ok at British half term.
