 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi Guys
I think we are going to book our trip, and just rely upon the cancellation policies.
We'd be going first week in Feb.
We stopped doing catered chalets as it ate into our Apres experience!
If Apres is almost as important as skiing - where would you book?
By Apres I mean - Coco Rico in Val, the Mooserwirt in St Anton, or Saloon in VT.
I'm ready to take a punt, but don't know if I should go for Austria or France.
I'm well aware that it's crystal ball territory, but grateful for informed views.
Also, Amy recommendations on travel operators who will easily return your cash, also appreciated.
Many thanks
R

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

If going in Feb check what school holidays are happening for your dates.

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

Ischgl in Austria without a doubt.
The French only play at après!

+1 for Ischgl, also Sölden is pretty wild. But if you can’t go to Austria (lockdown etc) then Morzine is surprisingly good for Apres without requiring a second mortgage.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Ischgl has the best apres in the alps or at least did have. Who knows what it will be like this season but I'd be surprised if it wasn't curtailed to some degree.

You'll need to Register first of course.

covid does not like Apres
governments do not like covid
governments will restrict Apres. limit capacity, table service only, etc.
You will probably have a better night out in the UK!

The chances of finding massive pre-2020 style après in France or Austria and a tour operator who will readily hand your cash back are probably pretty similar…
Honestly I reckon there will be plenty of places you can have a few beers after on production your passe sanitaire... if that’s not enough for you maybe rethink until the following year.

Obviously everything can change on a sixpence, but the Folie Douce in Val Thorens opens on Sat. Keep an eye on their instagram the day after to see how that's playing out... We've also been in some pretty rammed bars in France the last few weeks. I think Apres in france could go either way at this point.

Time warp yourself back to 2018. From personal experience St Anton and Ischgl are probably the best. My gut feeling is that Apres ski is not going to be anything like it was for quite a while.
