 Poster: A snowHead
|
|
So, due to hubby's work commitments we are limited to flying out for our trip on Sunday 5th Feb. We are finding our choices within budget are either Andorra - Grandvalira, La Thuile, Courmayeur - Aosta Valley. Or do we blow the budget and book Cervinia which is more spenny. Also Sestriere and Milky way were an option but we've done that to death over the last few years. Any advice - suggestions. Just want to make sure we have some decent snow to ski on.

@Mandal, Of those we've been to Cervinia and Grandvalira. Cervinia is excellent, but as you say more expensive to book with a tour operator. Grandvalira was very good too though. Good piste skiing, cruisy blue/red mainly not a huge amount of steep stuff.
Have you looked to see what you might be able to do DIY?

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

Sunday is changeover day in Scandinavia, and there is snow  If you are near Gatwick then Easyjet fly to Ostersund/Åre.

If you like a big ski area Cervinia with a few days over in Zermatt is good, been there several times.
Or something different Are as@Themasterpiece, said. We went there last year; would go back.
Heard good things about La Thuile too but haven't made it there yet.

EasyJet to Geneva is less than £90 return
Cheap chalet (try chalet La Bas in Bourg and say Rick recommended you) should be around the £350 mark for a week. Got access to lots of ski resorts. Worth a try and I know they have availability that week

Thanks for the input, still looking at the moment. Hadn't considered DIY - a bit lazy, but will make the effort and have a look.
