Poster: A snowHead
|
With all this snow around, I'm seriously thinking of a weekend away.
Any suggestions as to resorts 1-1.30hr from Airport max. For Advanced/Intermediate Skiers

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

Innsbruck: 20 min transfer to Igls or even stay in the city centre and try a few different areas.
Munich: Kitzbuhel or Soll (90 mins). BA do a very late flight out (21:15 to Heathrow) or easyJet go to Stansted at around the same time... so you can get a full days sliding that day too and save a hotel night.
Weekend flight prices seem to be way better going to Munich/Salzburg side rather than Geneva.

Courmayeur - ideal. Done it twice. Drive from either Geneva or Turin whichever flight times work best for you.

Chamonix is ideal for weekends - 1 hour from Geneva and your hire car comes in handy for getting between the ski areas. While it is not ideal for intermediates, there is plenty of more gentle skiing to fill 3 or 4 days (Le Tour and Les Houche in particular but also bits at Flegere and even Gd Montets). I'd argue that it has the best scenary and mountain atmosphere in the Alps and as intermediates probably wouldn't choose it for a whole week you really should take the opportunity of a short break to experience it .

Pete1909, Have a look at Les Carroz. Very easy short transfer from Geneva and acces to Grand Massif which apparently has fab snow just now. Can recommend Hotel Arbaron in village centre.
