 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi guys
looking to organize a ski trip in January. There will be 7 lads in total one of whom will be celebrating his birthday so we will be want some night life.
Can anyone recommend somewhere in the alps with ski to door and somewhere for evenings entertainment
Meribel is what i keep coming up with but i don't have alot of selection less than £600 (pp weekly).
Also do many places offer 10days ? or is it generally 7 or 14 days ?
thanks
Jim

Until I saw you had a tight budget, I was about to suggest Verbier. Maybe Les Deux Alpes? 10 days used to be possible to North America - and may still be. In January you might be able to a deal with a hotel directly for that, but most TOs won't want it for European trips.

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

Most of LdA isn't ski door to door. Much of Meribel isn't either, come to that. The best entertainment does tend to be in non ski in/out places which are "proper towns". Mayrhofen would be an obvious choice, if that isn't a vital criterion. If it is, maybe Val Thorens? But the 3 Valleys will be expensive for every single beer and coffee.

in general (due to having a mixed group) i would say we are priced out of anywhere in Switzerland and the USA (where 10days is possible) 
How about the PORTES DU SOLEIL area, Avoriaz

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

AlanB1976, Söll definitely has some tacky nightlife if that's your thing, but it's not ski to door. There are a few hotels clustered near the main lift stations but the village proper is a fairly long walk or bus ride away. However, most of Méribel is not ski to door either.
Andorra would probably suit the OP.

If I were you I'd set my priorities. For the places I've been Ski in Ski out points mostly away from Austria towards France, Switzerland, Italy etc. If you want good Apres as a rule it goes the other way in terms of availibility and cost. What do you want for your budget? Flights and Accom or passes in that too? If you've always done ski in ski out it can be a hard thing to pull yourself away from.
Although I usually ski at least once a season in France, it's the last place I'd go for a trip with the lads. Just too expensive for beer and generally lower key.

Oops, missed the door-to-door thing - and I agree with you - though somewhere like the Lutins is very close to the main lift.
