Would you feel safe booking now for Scheffau for 9th March?
We have a 3 year old and so are quite keen to go with Ski Esprit and they don't have much left with right dates/flights/childcare etc.
Scheffau seems very low, I usually go for resort height of 1800 + for safety so would appreciate any words of wisdom on this one.
I will rethink the childcare rather than take a big risk on the snow.
Thanks

sarah, Yes.... I know what you mean about the height, but they've had a very good start to the season over there and have a very good base. I was there before crimbo and conditions were just fantastic.
I'd also say the early march is probably the most snow-sure time of the year IMO so I reckon you'll be fine. Ski Welt is a great ski area - some fantastic mountain restaurants if you have foody tendancies like I do.

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

sarah, You should be safe enough....it's a good start to the season and the nice thing about the area is that the lower pistes are generally over grass so you don't need a huge amount of snow for them to be open. We went to Scheffau in late March a few years ago and it was absolutely fine.

Thanks red 27, and homphomp,
DH is not convinced and so now we're looking at Peisey! And yes, I know the Vanoise is down for the season, Although it's higher I would worry there about the runs back to the accomm getting a bit thin 
Votes for one or the other anyone??

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

I've ordered the best snow for serre chevalier for that week  It seems to have decent creches. I'd say you have options in most places given age of your child so could be more independent

dan100, Thanks for that, a friend of mine went to Serre Chevalier twice last season as they loved it so much and she put her 2 year old into the local creche and she was fine. But DS is 3 and so can try to learn to ski depending on the resort because some will only start them at 4. And also at this age I am quite keen to tap into the specialist British family TOs offerings for reasons such as the group of little ones will be 6 max, they send a nanny 'minder' along with them to the class for their 'non-skiing needs', the group will be all english speaking etc.
