 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi everyone
Just wondering if anyone has stayed here before. I think it's new to Ski Total this year and has had a slight refurb, however keen to find out if anyone has stayed here, knows where it is etc?
Also, we are a mixed group of 15 going in mid March, so just wondering is the resort really that bad for beginners?
Any information would be gladly appreciated.
Cheers
Matt

Not stayed there but from the description the location sounds good for beginners.
The resort is not terrible for beginners really, there are some options. It's not perfect, there are some tough areas you don't want to end up and there are not many easy blue motorways but there's some easier stuff if you look around and a trip to Zurs would be a good idea for them at the end of the week if they are not in ski school all week. The beginner slopes are in Nasserein so they'll be walking distance from that chalet.

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

For beginners I would not recommend it. Most (if not all) of the runs down to the village are narrow and get bumpy quickly with plenty of struggling skiers on them. Ah and then there are the drunk ones too. Lech should be better.

The nursery slopes at Nasserein are right at the bottom of the hill, so complete beginners will not need to contend with the main run down at all, they can just stumble directly in to the Fang Bar  . Also, Rendl is a good place for advanced beginners at the end of the week (although the run down is a red run, so perhaps beginners would take the lift down from there).
But yes, I agree that beginners maybe would not enjoy the main run down from Galzig at the end of a day if they got up there at all... better to take the cable car home from there!
Lech is far from perfect, the last couple if hundred metres down their blue runs are actually very steep (for blue runs), and they can get busy too.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

mhays1983, Agree with all the above, my advice would be Ischgl mid March, same sort of place but less extreme and plenty of motorways/ steady blues, also plenty of apres to go at. St Anton IMO is best tackled with 2-3 seasons minimum under beginners belts, so much to go at it'd be frustrating to ski so little of it, yet could dent confidence if people got carried away and got caught out.
