 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi All,
Want to surprise missus with weekend away toward end of season but I'm abit worried about snowcover. I usually go in Jan/Feb so its not a problem.
Ideal plan is early flight into Geneva, Zurich or Munich, hire car, drive 2hrs, on slopes for lunchtime. And on way back, ski for morning leave resort at 2.30-3.00 & return to airport.
I've been looking at going high so 3V, Morzine, St Anton etc?
Have you guys any pearls of wisdom?
Thanks!

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

James the Last, is absolutely right of course. However. given your brief, I would suggest Laax - less than 2 hours from ZRH, 70% of pistes over 2000m altitude so reasonably snow sure, and plenty of options for stays that aren't the conventional Sat-Sat. Lenzerheide might also be worth a look. Given the amount of snow I can see out of my window at the moment, chances are looking reasonable that anywhere will still have decent-ish conditions unless temps hit +10 for the next month or two (actually more like -10 at village level here from Friday on)

As eng_ch says, there should be good snow in most places, still, given the enormous amounts around at the moment - however, Morzine isn't high. The Swiss suggestions sound good - you need to be guided by where you can get nice accommodation for the weekend - more difficult in France, as a rule.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Laax has a coach transfer to & from Zurich airport and accomodation right at bottom of godola - ideal for quick weekend break.
off piste (not literal) suggestion Ljubliana - Krvavec - you can be on the slopes within 45 minsd of leaving airport and sleep in an igloo.

rofno1, but two of your suggested airports are in Switzerland!!
It's expensive though, because of the exchange rate.

rofno1, Geneva/Morzine/Avoriaz.
Transfer, save the hiring time and hassle.
May be a little biased
