I've decided to take a cheeky weekend away at the start of October. I'm currently considering Zermatt, Saas Fee or Presena.
Can anybody advise me on these resorts for the time of year, or indeed, any other suitable European glacier resort?
Thanks.

moot_point, how about delaying it a month, and coming to LDA with the rest of us for the PSB - Nov 1-5. If you didn't want to take the time off work but could get to GVA Fri, you may be able to get a lift with WTFH or David Murdoch, The only downside of that is that the weekend will probably be a bit busy, but Thurs/Fri was great last year. If you came out on the Thurs you may be able to hook up with Roger C.

Apparently Zermatt is offering good deals on short breaks in October if you book through the tourist office website

Roger C, Thanks for the info and offer. I live in Merseyside, so I would need a connecting flight. Just checked the price, which is circa £540, from Manchster to Lyon via Heathrow. So, if I'm going to consider the PSB as an option, I'll probably fly with my pal to Geneva, and drive the extra distance.
Thanks again.

moot_point, if you do go when you said originally, I would also consider Hintertux if I were you.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

moot_point, It's not in trips - it's in Snow Events. Long thread on Mondial/PSB 2006 and shorter facts thread for all the hard info. Yes - come along! The more the merrier. Just PM me if you want to come and I'll sort out the rooms etc. If you do the Turin flight there'll be a coach transfer, if not then verious possibilities have already been mentioned.

Yes, come join the PSB moot_point, there's quite a few different flight options at the moment, or you could go your own way if the times/dates worked better for you.

You know it makes sense.

moot_point,
Presena ain't very big. Would be pretty boring

I'm in Kaprun, Austria and it's curently snowing down to around 1700m. THe Glacier (3000m) here has loads of new snow - visibility currently rubbish but I'm waiting paitently! Looks like it might be quite a good Autumn (here's NOT hoping for an Indian summer!
