 Poster: A snowHead
|
Various message boards seem to be suggesting that along with the Southern French Alps that Italy is also having a not too bad season. As I have done Serre Che in France loads I quite fancy Italy. Other than the Milkyway resorts which I assume have ok snow (as just down the road from Serre Che) where else is good?
I’m going out first week in April and I’m going to leave it last minute, usually head for large resorts but this year I’m more concerned about getting some half decent snow. Would like to avoid Brown patches at the side of runs, maybe I’m being a bit precious but it ruins the view.
Any help much appreciated.

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

Gressoney is great and enjoying a good season, if you do go and want a huge laugh being guided go to the guide station at Gressoney and ask for Rudy, he is a genuine nut job and the best guide I have ever used.

Gressoney is good if all you want to do is ski. It's got no apres to speak of - only the hotel bars. The Du Four hotel is where all the guides hang out as the owner is also the head guide - Carlo. Otherwise take a taxi 5km down to St Jean.
If you do go to Monterosa make sure you book a night to stay at Rifugio Guglielmina, 150 year old "hotel". It has decent rooms, good food, great wine, showers and a stunning location at 2700m. You're guaranteed fresh tracks in the morning!

Forget Italy .. the most Southern resorts ( eg Isola 2000) are having a stunning season. so much snow in the last week , almost bordering on "Too Much". But it WILL warm up down here .....
