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 :-)

Sestriere or Mayrhofen Late March/Early April

 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead
Hi All,

Seeking some advice and guidance please. Going on a father and son ski trip and narrowed it down to two places, Sestriere or Mayrhofen. I appreciate that there are no guarantees on late season snow but keen if anybody would pick one over the other and why? Dates are 29 March to 05 April. I have skied a fair bit and my son will have been skiing at half term with his school and done 3 weeks before. He will be 15 and fairly happy on reds and can handle black runs.

Thanks for any pointers.

Mal

Doesn’t get much more guaranteed than having Hintertux up the road.

@fasterafterlunch, I haven’t been to Sestriere so cannot comment.

We have been many times to Mayrhofen around that time.

Typical spring skiing likely. Rock hard pistes first thing softening up nicely during late morning with some heavier pistes late on. However we have also had -10 and heavy snow…..who knows! It it will be fine I would expect. If it’s just the two of you you can try the others resorts in the valley including Hintertux as suggested.

Need to add my 2022 Hof pics to this thread. 21 years of Easter fun up the Ziller valley.

Looking at my photos from last year it chucked it down 1st,2nd,3rd April 2022. Plenty of fresh lines and quiet pistes.

I think this year that period will be more busy given Easter.

Sestriere is fine in good snow year. We were in Sauze in March and it was at best sketchy. The best skiing we had was Claviere / Montgenvre on the away day . Would be Mayrhofen for me.

Probably Mayrhofen. The Italian part of the Milky Way tends to shut at the end of the first week of April irrespective of snow conditions. However the french side ie Montgenevre is usually good in early April and stays open longer.
