 Poster: A snowHead

Hey
would really appreciate help with resort suggestions. we're intermediate skiers/boarders, looking for 3-4 days on the mountain. somewhere with a party vibe, nice mix of blue and reds. fairly cheap,
any tour operator recommendations would be great seen a few offering 1 in 5 places free, which would be good.
thanks!

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

St Manton. Full of blokes and you'll all need inflatable rings to sit on when coming home

You could try Galtuer which would give you access to the Ischgl party scene. Galtuer itself is quiet but has some nice easy skiing and is inexpensive.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

I went to St Anton for Hen do 1 of 3 - Supertravel for 4 days in Chalet Seeberger - had a great time. Not cheap though.
Morzine is quite good fun and you can do it on the cheaper end of the scale (more small operators offering better deals for short breaks) although unlikely to get such good deals (the 1 in 5) on short breaks.

Intermediate skiers/boarders - what about Sallbach or Mayrhofen?

Saalbach - DIY by contacting hotels directly and organising flights yourselves (Easyjet. Ryanair. Jet2, BA). Start by looking at the Saalbach.com website; there's a link for 'Accommodation' where you can enquire about availability. Many of the hotels have Spas, so you could indulge in pampering as well as partying. Out of high season, the hotels are also often open to doing deals. Transfer from Salzburg Airport using the Holiday Shuttle (get a private transfer from them if more than 4 of you, which I assume there will be).

I'd go for Innsbruck, Kath Ad. Very atmospherics city, great bars at local prices (2.50 for a pint), some lovely little ski resorts within 30 mins (trams and free coaches), 12 minute transfer to the airport, proper city entertainment, and cheap hotels (40 Euros B&B single room) and restaurants. Sorted!

You'll get to see more forums and be part of the best ski club on the net.

Yes Innsbruck is a very good call for a hen Party with a bit of skiing.

Mind you, with just 3-4 days on the mountain, I'd certainly consider being in a resort, as opposed to a city - another vote for Saalbach and Mayrhofen. I guess it depends on the priorities, though Saalbach would probably provide the best balance IMV.

Sauze d'Oulx is easy to do & cheap when you get there.
Just done a boys weekend where we booked everything independently and it worked perfectly.
PM me if you want specifics.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

I'd recommend Courmayeur if you are thinking of next season.

You know it makes sense.

Chamonix and Meribel are both good for short breaks if you want a bit of a party town although neither are exactly cheap but you can go out and not spend a fortune! Cham has a shorter transfer to

Nowhere's cheap! 3VVs, agree Cham great for a quick break. Meribel a pain to get to, I'd not be going there for a short break unless I had the cash to fly into Altiport in my big daft helicopter.
