 Poster: A snowHead
|
A work colleague of mine wants to go 15th or 16th April for 5 or 6 days. Needs to be back sat midday.
Needs good snow. Not too long a transfer.
Would like: Ski in / out. Bit of life in resort. Mid range cost.
Will do package or diy flights, car hire, hotel.
Any help much appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Cervinia? Seems to tick the boxes... high, lots of snow, cheap flights (Turin, RA & EJ), 75 mins taxi transfer. The only drawback is that the nightlife is pretty quiet, but I think that's nigh on inevitable in mid April...
I've just come back and the Hotel Sertorelli can be recommended

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

Obertauern ?
Seems to be cropping up quite a lot in this forum now.
I was there a couple of weeks ago and it was excellent. Ryanair to Salzburg - Obertauren web site advertises 40 Euro taxi transfer (which was excellent - driver was was waiting at arrivals to whisk us off to the resort). high standard of hotels, plenty of mountains restaurants and Austrian apres-ski, should still be good for snow I would guess.
And night-skiing Mondays and Thursdays if you didn't get enough during the day.

shockingmoment, Here would fit everything except ski in ski out. Next week isn't too bad, busy wise. I don't think with this current warmth that many resorts will get genuine ski in ski out. We can ski down to the village, but not to most of the hotels or apartment blocks.

Thanks for the replies. Tignes was on the list.
Whats the nearest airport (flight from Manchester or Liverpool)? And respective transfer time?

shockingmoment, I think some of the winter ski flights may have stopped by then. But easyjet fly from Liverpool to Geneva over the dates you want. Geneva to Tignes is about 3 hours by car, depending on time of travel.
Ryanair do Liverpool to Grenoble/Lyon which is about 2 hours by car to Tignes.
You may have more choice if you go from other Uk airports. But you're looking for flight to Geneva, Lyons, Chambery or Grenoble.

shockingmoment, it's been very warm in recent days so I'd strongly recommend you go high. Tignes would be good I'm sure, here in Les Arcs is good above 1800m, I was in Courchevel yesterday at it also seemed good above 1800m.
