 Poster: A snowHead
|
Dear all, I'm flying to GVA Sat 8th Dec am with my sister for 3 nights somewhere snowy. This is her 3rd short trip - she's a beginner with a low pain threshold. I had thought of going to Crans-Montana, but though it theoretically opened on 24th Nov, there has only been 1 red piste open. A couple more lifts will open this weekend, but that will give max 2 blues & 2 reds & poss 1 black - not really enough for 3-4 days.
Any better suggestions warmly welcomed! Is the Mont Blanc tunnel still closed? If not, might Courmayeur be an option? We'd like to let public transport take the transfer strain, and will consider all countries accessible from GVA.
All words of wisdom hugely appreciated - thanks!  [/img]

I don't know how much of Courmayeur is open vetski, but would say C-M is a better ski area for a near beginner.

but not tonight.
Avoriaz is prolly a good French bet for the coming weekend although there will be a lot of skiing open.

I was there yesterday, some nice powder stashes to be found but very icy on some of the pistes. If they've got the snow that's arrived here though, things might be much improved by next week! There was a lot open.

vetski, We can help you out in Morzine to ski Avoriaz where there are some great beginner slopes open and so is the ski school if she needs a lesson. Have a look at our site and send us an email.

vetski - another vote for Morzine / Avoriaz. Plenty of skiing to be had. And there'll be deals to be had on accommodation.
Roy Hockley - are you out over Christmas / New Year?

Thanks all, but I've decided to go to Tignes instead - I've skied a lot in PdS, so would rather go somewhere else. All comments much appreciated, though!
