 Poster: A snowHead
|
Looking to head to Europe for a couple of weeks of skiing the last couple of weeks of March. We won’t be able to pre book accommodation because we’ll have to call the whole thing off if we can’t get on a plane due to a positive PCR test (which is a genuine possibility I suppose).
So we need to decide where to fly into. If France is the best chance of getting ‘last minute’ lodging we’ll choose to fly into Geneva or even Milan. If last minute in Austria is better we’ll fly into Zurich I guess.
We don’t mind staying in the valleys. Driving to the high resorts is no issue if we’re in the general area.
TIA.

You should easily be able to find accommodation in late March, regardless of the country. I would say Geneva > Zurich > Milan if you're aiming for a highish altitude ski area.

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

@denfinella,
Thanks. I was concerned the resorts would be unusually busy then because of the pent up demand due to shut (UK) borders.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

@sbooker, Not sure why you'd fly to Zurich if Austria was your final destination. However, lots of areas in Austria offer free lift passes for kids after 19 Mar 22 if you are a family. Plenty of options here in Ski Amade.

You'll need to Register first of course.

That's a fair point, particularly with respect to France, but I wouldn't expect it to make an enormous difference.
I believe most or all French resorts usually have plenty of vacant accommodation throughout the season apart from New Year / February half term.

I'd pretty much agree with this. ( Barring St Anton, SFL and perhaps Ischgl)

Because INN and SZG don't have many direct flights from Oz?

You'll get to see more forums and be part of the best ski club on the net.

We’re making quite the trek from Australia. Flying into Salzburg or Innsbruck would require a third leg. I expect we would prefer to spend our time around Alrberg, Ischgl, Olbergurgl or the glaciers in that vicinity of Austria is the destination given it is latish in the season.
Preference would be fly into Geneva and head to the Tarentaise hills.
I’m now comfortable that we could find somewhere to stay at last minute.
Thanks.
