Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi there - I have been turning in circles trying to find a resort for a break next February.
We will fly into Munich or Zurich and it will have to be February half term (unfortunately), but the killer is we can only do 4 days, possibly 5. So I need a resort which will accommodate short breaks, is snow sure in February, within 2 hours of Munich or Zurich and I don't want to be getting on and off buses/walking miles in ski boots so ideally ski to door.
We are lazy intermediates, so lots of red and blue, happy to cruise around so somewhere with a reasonable amount of runs. We don't need lessons or beginners slopes. We will have 2 children with us (aged 16 and 11, both reasonable skiers), so a family atmosphere would be great - we don't need all night parties, but a bar to visit and a few good restaurants would be ideal. I usually head high because I am paranoid about a lack of snow, but is this necessary in February?
All suggestions appreciated!

@snowymountain, I've never had problems getting part-week accommodation in half term.
Book the flights and wait till nearer the time as regards choosing resort and accommodation.
Lots of options for each.

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

February half term this year in Scheffau saw very heavy snow . I would definitely head higher next year after our experiences in lower resort this Feb.

Thanks - which do you think will give better options - Munich or Zurich? Am tending towards Zurich but from Manchester lots more flights to Munich. Should also have said don't want somewhere really busy - my husband and son did lots of waiting for lifts in Chamonix this year.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Will you have a car? If so Munich isnt too much of a faff to reach the resorts.

Yes we will rent a car. Not keen on driving more than about 2 hours though if possible. Which are the best resorts do you think?
