Poster: A snowHead
|
Already thinking about next season and have started to investigate options in both these resorts.
Ive done a lot of online investigation, I've done a search on here and found 2 trip reports, one for each resort, reading these I'm even more inclined to go with my choice, which is Madonna. However my husband really likes Austria, has been to St Anton twice and would like us to go to Lech.
We are both good intermediate skiers, my husband is better than me and on his 'boys' trips will ski most things on piste but on our holidays we like skiing well groomed pistes, (not after steep, moguls, or off piste), with a good lift system, lovely mountain restaurants and hopefully, uncrowded slopes. Whilst we both like some level of après i don't think either resort is particularly lively and both would probably suit.
Would really appreciate any advice/opinions.

Hi
Heading out to Madonna Di Campiglio for a week this coming weekend. Can provide you with some thoughts on our return.

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

Madonna is gorgeous. Would suit you well. I've skied Lech as well but wasn't as impressed. To get a similar amount of variety I think you'd have to venture over to St Anton, which I find a bit busy with too many out of control people.

@Griggs, your thoughts would be much appreciated, thank you. Hope you have a lovely holiday.
@sugarmoma666, thank you. I had read your TR and pretty much made up my mind that Madonna would be more my cup of tea.
I should have added that were looking at w/c 27th January, so not a peak week.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Been a few years since I went to either, but what stands out for me is how well integrated the lift system at Madonna is. You can start from any of the five big lifts and work your way round to anywhere, so you are not stuck with having to make a decision at the start of the day about where you ski. Food on the slopes is good too.

@skimum, Never been to Madonna but have skied in Lech many times, lovely place you'd not be disappointed. Lift system fantastic, pistes very well prepared, hotels ker-ching! Never stayed there, cant afford to. Look at Hotel Cresta in Oberlech, we lunch there and admire longingly the wellness and wine cellar!
