Poster: A snowHead
|
Hay seen a few posts about this new hotel. Never been to San Sicario either. Can anyone fill me in with details about hotel and resort. Please bear in mind snow this year was probably poor?

I was there last week of March. The place was full of snow. Best skiing condition I have seen comparing with Cervinia/Zermatt, Alpe d'Heuz/Les Deux Alpes and Crans Montana/Verbier.
There was so much snow that the avalanches risk was high enough to stop the links to Sestriere and Sauze d'Oulx.
Being possibly the quietest part of the Milky Way Sansicario is unbeatable. We were among the only few having the entire Olympic run, perfectly groomed, to ourselves.
Mind you better be quick, the snow at the bottom of the chairlift at Cesana was definitely starting to melt and turn watery.
Don't know where is Hotel Majestic but I found everywhere in the Milky Way was full of snow at the last week of March. Lorries had to install the snow chains in order to get up from Cesana to Claviere. I think we were lucky to hit the time it snowed.

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

Been to the resort, stayed in that hotel. Its great - food was good, hotel is clean, modern, nicely equipped. San Sicario was v quiet, with decent snow (wasn't the best last year - but that was the same all over i think) the runs there are excellent. They were trying their best with snowmaking, but from the webcam i've seen there's a whole load more real snow there this year anyway
Definitely recommend it - we were looking at going back again this year but the hotel has gone up a lot in price, so are going to Jouvencaux again instead.
I'll see if I can dig out any photos of it.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Hey, Thanks for your detail specially photos. Have picked up the bit about the monorail.......is it possible to walk into town and can you walk to the lifts from the hotel? Considering we have kids (12 years old upwards). We are actually going to Morzine this year but fancy a change next year (have gone to Morzine the last 3 years)
