 Poster: A snowHead
|
I am just wondering which resorts are most likely to have snow mid December. We would love to go for a week pre christmas (16-23rd) but have no idea where would be best at that time. I appreciate that snow can never be guaranteed so I was looking for some ideas for resorts I can keep an eye on.
Thx

Obergurgl does a "White Week" around that time, I seem to remember it claiming to be the most snow sure resort in Austria - must admit I've been tempted by it

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

Higeh ones. 2Alpes and Tignes both have glacier skiing, should be a good bet.

Why not wait until you know where the best snow is, then decide which resort to go for? You'll have no problem finding accommodation pre-Christmas, so perhaps just book flights and car hire then leave choice of destination until much closer?

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

We have been to both Obergurgl and Saas-Fee at that time of the year. Both are at about 1800m and the pistes go up to about 300m for Obergurgl and 3600m for Saas-Fee.
It's difficult to say which is best. Both are pretty much snow-sure, Saas-Fee has a glacier skiing in any event. Much will depend on the weather - it can be stormy and very cold at that time.
Can't tell you about other places, such as France.
