 Poster: A snowHead
|
Starting a new job, with lots of time in february to take holidays. Would be going anyway at half term (second uk week) but as i have this extra holiday plus we can take the little one out of school, we can have the last week of feb as well but where to go?
Last season went to la rosiere (like half of snowheads it would seem) and it was really good for half term, no real queues, in fact la thuile was very quiet. Evolution 2 was excellent with my 6 year old, nearly 2nd yeti or star.
So we need self catering, good kids ski school, and reasonably quiet, for 2 weeks. Will be self drive, so includes austria, switzerland, italy, france. Reasonably large area of runs, like steep and groomed, hate lift queues and crowds. Places we like, les carroz, la thuile, zermatt early season, vaujany (not so much now however), tignes in january, plus a few on the other side of the pond but can't really afford that.
any ideas please as we would like somewhere different to where we usually go.

What about somewhere like Montgeneve?

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

carroz, If you have the car it opens up all the Milky Way including Sestriere, Sauze and Claviere and also Serre Cevalier and that side as well.

Could you take the first week, and have two consecutive weeks? That first week will be low season, French school hols start the second week.

pam w, sorry was a bit vague on dates Our half term week is Monday 18th, so we are thinking leaving friday 15th and having 2 weeks, on further investigation it looks like it is the paris schools hols and the other large zone b at the same time, so perhaps france may be out. Grimentz in CH has been suggested, but needs getting around by car.

carroz, what's happened to turn you against Vaujany, out of interest? We're considering it next year...

rainman, Its not quite what it was a few years ago, and my daughter had a appalling experience at the hands of the local ESF, so much so she still will not do any lessons with them anywhere (recognises the logo) and still goes on about it. It made a lasting impression on her. Ski Peak are really very good, especially the self catering places they do at the top of the village and the local creche is excellent, however be prepared for a health grilling if you use it and are English! Skiing can be really really busy at the weekend (alp d' huez in general)
