 Poster: A snowHead
|
Question from a newbie, so apologies if it is daft...
My wife's birthday is at the start of May and we' relooking to go away for 4 - 5 days. We've scratched the idea od skiing as the season will be over. But is really?
Thought I'd ask, just in case, if there are any European resorts that might still have reasonable snow for a long weekend of skiing.
As I say, I'm guessing not, but over to you knowledgable folks.
TIA

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

The Glacier resorts Hintertux, Tignes, LDA should still have some skiing. I think Zermatt and Sass Fee in Switzerland are similar.

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

t40ora, Far from over. I have had some of my best ever skiing in May. You should do it you won't regret it.....these would be my picks.
Chamonix - Grands Montets will still be open and I have always done the Vallee Blanche when I have been in May, loads of mileage for you to ski. I have been there 5 times now over May Day Bank and never been disappointed, had fresh pow 3 times. Always been nice enough in town to wear shorts there is loads to do, al fresco dining and a great atmosphere but still not busy. Last year we heli skied in Italy and had a 37 dish lunch in Maison de Filippo in Courmayeur. If you have a day off skiing head across for lunch anyway.
Zermatt and Saas Fee - Both have loads of snow up top and are still open, stunning scenery, there will be great deals in nice hotels if you want to treat her, plenty to do off slopes
Val Disere/Tignes - Had powder there on May day bank before and again they have loads of snow and it ain't gonna disappear before then, huge area, and there will plenty of skiing - I haven't been to it and I'm sure someone else will tell you, but there is meant to be an awesome end of season party on the slopes in Val D'Isere
Ischgl - Will be absolutely buzzing for their end of season weekend. Normally they have a huge act to start and finish the season up on the mountain, there should be about 20,000 people at the concert although I think it is cheesy Euro boyband this year. If the partying is more important than the skiing this would be the one for you.
Go for it...

Thanks folks.
Sadly, it's just made me unsettled. The Treasurer (SWMBO) and Birthday Girls has refused another ski holiday on the basis that we can't afford it.
She's right I suppose........
