Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Mid April, 2 beginner skiers and 2 intermediate skiers Puzzled
The travel agent - Ski Solutions - recommends Obergurgl or Val d'Isere
What does anyone think?
Thanks for advice!

Tignes (Val Claret) or Val Thorens, both villages are at over 2000M and will be snow sure, something for all parties

VT has a large beginner area with 4 (I think) magic carpets, with good areas to progress onto the pistes proper after. And if they are proper beginners, not having to worry about catching a bus to the lifts/piste is always nice as well.

Long time since in Obergurgl, but I was a relative begginner 32 years ago. Cant remember anything that was at all scary. Also its Austria, and I would suggest a bit livelier in the evenings. Check, 'where to ski' website. Their book is now defunct, but any opinions as to begginer friendly can be relied upon in my opinion. snowHead

Obergurgl is quite high, and also you have Solden next door with 2 glaciers. Compact ski area, not lively in the evenings. Should be good both in terms of snow and suitability for you. Val D'isere has quite steep slopes back into town

Obergurgl is high enough and should be perfect for beginners, especially Hochgurgl, starting with December. However I can't imagine it in mid April. Way too late for that
Val d'Isere - all the green and blue piste in the Bellevarde area.
Val Thorens, as mentioned above
