 Poster: A snowHead
|
After a week back from my first time on snow I can't wait to get back. Can't stretch to another week away and quiet fancy a long Weekend or perhaps Sunday- Wednesday type trip.
Has to be Europe, I am based in London so have lots of travel options, even have a couple of Eurostar vouchers to use.
So I would like some recommendation please for a resort that I get to easily enough and a resort that is snow sure and has plenty of accomodation.
Will avoid the half-term times and easter.
Open to suggestions!
Mick

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

micksup, I guarantee at some point there will be a suggestion saying La Rosiere and for a near beginner using the snow train it would be pretty sensible.
Other ones I would think of are La Plagne and Les Arcs.

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

micksup, feel the craving!!  We lasted about three days from our first ever ski holidy to booking our second one!
On the specifics of your question - I'm afraid I can't help!

T Bar, what an excellent suggestion, I can't think of anywhere better than La Rosiere for a 2nd time skier, especially one with Eurostar vouchers.
Micksup, have a look at our ad in snowShops or go to www.tracksvacations.com for more information.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

micksup, A large number of French resorts are easily reachable by Eurostar. From now until the end of the season every resort is pretty much "snow-sure" and outside the usual peak periods resorts have plenty of accomodation (but do book as early as you can). Les Arcs & La Plagne in the Paradiski network are definate goers for novices. Any village in the 3 Valleys network will work for you although Courchevel is the most learner-friendly (just don't be sucked into staying in Brides les Bains as it's a 40min gondolar trip up to the snowline and IMHO the savings don't justify the time wasted). Until you've more experience I'm reluctant to suggest Espace Killy yet (Val d'Isire and Tignes) but otherwise they'd fit the bill.
The trouble, of course, is getting a Alpine hotellier to break his "Sat to Sat" routine.
And don't forget La Rosiere!  David@traxvax's been known to be very flexible on arrival dates.

I've just done a Thursday - Wednesday in Plan Peisey (Les Arcs) but the hotel is now fully booked for a while and back into Sat-Sat mode. If you do go to Bourg St Maurice by Eurostar, micksup you could also try snowHead Chaletarc who does budget accom in Peisey Nancroix (which is lowish but connects easily up into Paradiski)
