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 :-)

andolini, Turin is only an hour a way so anything accessible from Turin would also work including some French resorts through Frejus tunnel... St Moritz is quite nice I hear as well snowHead wink

Someone will of course have some better ideas

Is it Milan or Bergammo?

Either way Passo Tonale is about 2 hrs from Bergammo (Where Ryanair go). Also Madonna di Campilgo is close to Tonale

Try Bormio. Skiing area not huge but certainly adequate. Bormio town is rather lovely Italian village/town - lots of shops restaurants and elegant Italians. Only real drawback is that it`s a good 3-4 hours from Milan airport.

beetle, I drove through Bormio on the way to Livigno and saw very little skiing there. Worth the extra 30 mins to Livigno, and have a day trip to Bormio if you fancy it.

Stevec, having done both, I think the skiing probably is better in Livigno but would have thought that Bormio is very attractive and is more likely to Mrs Andolini happy ?

beetle, Fair shout, nicer looking town as well arguably.

I guess it depends on whether skiing or a nice village is the priority.

beetle, Have been to Bormio 4 times and yes it's a really beautiful old town. Fantastic outside roman baths too, where you can see the skiers on the mountains whilst floating around in the hot water. The skiing was good too (maybe not for experts) but we are all good intermediates and found it perfectly ok. I like reasonable skiing on a holiday, but the general ambiance of the place means an awful lot too.

rjs, I assume a tongue-in-cheek smiley is missing there Wink . Gressoney is one of the sleepiest ski villages I've ever been to, and am told that it's even then the major night spot in the area (certainly compared to Alagna) Shocked .

GrahamN, If you think it's quiet in winter you should try it in summer.

GrahamN, He asked for something reachable from Milan but cheaper than Cervinia, quality of night life wasn't a requirement.

One of the kids from our club found somewhere that was open until 5am last month, so it can't be that quiet.

Hannah, yes been loads of times worked out there when i was 16, some 20 yrs ago now , used to stock up on armani gear back then , staying at the http://www.camanaveglia.com/ very pleased superior room with cot and whirlpool bath did it for me 80 euros a day each half board / 4 course menu , 33/33 lifts open , nightlife was never really an issue as is my little girls first snow holiday so expect a lot of snowman making/sledging Laughing Though talk of the litre glasses of beer after skiiing will sort me out !


Thanks again

excellent choice of hotel and perfect for getting anywhere from. we know the camana pretty well and our friend who is out there for the winter season working is in the mottini shop next door for his 5th year running. he is the english guy who services all the ski's downstairs and i have got to say he is the best one to get ski's serviced with if you take your own
we now go regularly in the motorhome and stay for as long as possible. we are both skiers, however having a 15 month old i did not ski this time and spent the days shopping. i took the little one up to the mottolino kindergarten a few times and she loved it and its free! if they are over 3 years old you can leave them with the staff whilst you go and have a ski/ coffee etc.
my hubby has worked out there for a season too over at the mottolino ski hire with david mottini - hence the reason we always go there....lots of friends to visit and lots of snow to enjoy in the process......have a great time and if you need any info let me know....
