 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hey ctskifam,
If you are not keen on Chamonix then I will add another vote for Megeve. Nice ski area and you can stay Megeve or St Gervais which is a pleasant town and easy to get to. Quite low but on this seasons snow so far no likely problems.

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

The Dolomites, a short transfer from Innsbruck or if you go to Arabba or Cortina maybe 2hr from Venice. For chocolate box I'd suggest Ortisei, amazing restaurants on the slopes and in the village, amazing food and good prices. The skiing is good and the scenery is out of this world.

Peter Ross, you've become quite a convert to the South Tyrol/Dolomites experience since your trip there, keep it up!
I agree with you about the Germanic thing, they call it Gemutlichkeit, I think. Those high-altitude French Ski Stations are just so soulless, serious mountains though.

luigi, The tourist office are giving me commission! 
I believe there are some really nice French resorts but there are many more in Austria and its near neighbours.

ctskifam, I agree with Ordhan, if you want a change from France I'd highly recommend Austria, just been to Schladming in the Ski Amade region, only an hour's transfer from Salzburg wihch you can get to with cheap Ryanair flights. Lovely scenery and plenty of great mountain restaurants. In Schladming the Apres is not massive but there are pletny of bars and the area was great for intermediates. We tried a couple of different areas too as if you have a hire car lots of other resorts are only 20 - 30 mins drive.
Just have to make sure not to have too many Weissbiers or you can find your technique going downhill quickly

I'd agree that the Dolomites gives you something utterly different. You could do a few days in Venice, then an easy drive up to the Dolomites.
