 Poster: A snowHead
|
Myself and the wife are just back from a great week in Mayrhofen (queues aside) and we want to head off again for a long weekend in March (we don't mind flying on St Patricks Day....how unpatriotic of us, I know) so heres the thing folks......flying out of Dublin on the 17th of March and returning the Sunday (21st) where would be best for us to head to???....within reason of course, but it doesn't have to be uber-cheap either.
On yer marks......get set.....GO!!!
(thanks in advance)

dazman, You really need to find somewhere; fairly close to an airport you can get to from Dublin (a long transfer isn't ideal for a short break) and where you can find accommodation which will take a Thursday to Sunday booking (not always the case). I've only done similar trips via Grenoble to Alpe D'Huez and Les Deux Alpes but there must be loads more possibilities.

I've flown to both Grenoble and Geneva extremely cheaply (but not at peak times). Either of those would work, hire a car, drive to AdH, L2A, even 3V or Tarentaise from Grenoble, or from Geneva try PdS, Flaine, St Gervais/Megeve etc

dazman, can you fly to Zurich with Aer Lingus? Davos works well for short breaks if so

You want somewhere served by a nearby airport which does late evening flights back, so that you can ski the whole day before leaving. An early flight out would also give you a half day on arriving. That would give you 4 1/2 days skiing.
Easyjet do that London / Geneva but I don't know about Dublin.

Fly to Innsbruck, choose between Mayrhofen, St Anton, Ischgl, Kitzbuhel, SkiWelt (Westendorf is the best base here) or plenty of other resorts within an hour transfer.
Or fly to Salzburg and go to Saalbach or Lofer.
