Poster: A snowHead
|
OH and I are considering a 3/4 day ski "mini" break. Will be mid week/mid March. Anywhere with easy transport/drive from airport considered. Prefer HB or catered chalet, and accommodation not to far from slopes. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Sorry, should have mentioned that we are looking for nice, cruisy pistes preferably with a nice (not icy/narrow) "home run". No off piste required. thanks

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

PS, ...where we are is good for a short break - flight to geneva, 100m walk to train, train to sierre (under 2hrs) beautiful journey alongside lake geneva, taxi or funicular up to resort. Crans Montana - excellent sun record. plenty of accommodation near the lift stations. Excellent ski lessons from Swiss Mountain Sports if you need them.

Megeve, Les Carroz, Courmayeur, Chamonix and Verbier from Geneva.
Flims/Laax, Villars, Davos/Klosters and Crans Montana from Zurich.
I've done short breaks at all the above, I've found a hire car is a little more expensive than a train/transfer bus - but you get to and from the resort faster (so can get extra snow time in) and you can stay just outside the resort centre and drive to the lifts; which cuts down costs anyway.

I've generally ended-up in Morzine/Avoriaz for my short breaks. Close to Geneva, and also plenty of shared transfer companies if (like me) you'd rather not hire a car / use public transport.
Ski area sounds like it would suit - it's a sea of of cruisey blues/reds.
I have tended to go for self-catering apartments - so can't comment on the half/board / chalet end of things though.

PS, we can offer 3/4 nights fully catered from 16/3 or start any day that week - fully booked until then. Easy drive from Chambery or GVA if you haven't already got flights, and lots of transfer options if you don't fancy the drive. PM if it may be of interest

I have also driven to La Tania from Chambery, it's a very quick journey too.
