I think that is because those are the resorts that people asked for.

Fair enough

Would there be anywhere good to stay that you would recomend in your valley?
I'd heard the name Anniviers but never looked at it until coming on here but it does looka really tidy place.

The Anniviers is unlikely to fit many of the criteria for the group. Chalets offering catered accom tend to be rare and upmarket, there is almost no ski in/out and the slopes predominantly suit adventurous skiers.

Good answer Bandit. You dont want all and sundry exploring your area

Those are the facts, plain and simple

Does anyone know of any hotels/chalets on the Sella Ronda route that has twin beds that really are two separate beds?

I have been looking in the Selva Val Gardena area and I must have checked the details for about 15 chalets and hotels and they ALL have Austrian twin beds (which are basically double beds with separate mattresses).

Now, whilst I am perfectly happy to share a room with another female I've never met, I'm not too sure I want to share a double bed with them, and I expect other J2Skiers will feel the same

I have looked with several agencies, as well as with the hotels directly, and several of them are pretty sneaky and say 'twin room', but when you look at the photo it's a double bed

I really like the look of the ski area and the mountains, which are also known as the Dolomites Superski, or South Tyrol, and it would be an awful shame to have to knock it off our list of potential resorts/ski areas just because I can't find a chalet or hotel suitable for our group holiday

Has anyone got any ideas please?

Well, I suppose if the beds really don't come apart into two singles you could always put one of the mattresses on the floor.

Thanks for the suggestion Billip, but I think I might be rather annoyed if I had to pay over £400 to sleep on the floor all week

Plus, I expect the chalet/hotel owners might be rather annoyed at us dragging mattresses all over the place

Let's hope someone on here knows of a nice, large, cheap chalet/hotel in this ski area, which has real twin beds

I might try posting a message in the winter solutions room on chalets direct as well, and hope a chalet/hotel owner will respond.

Indeed, Ally ! Sleeping on the floor wouldn't really be what you'd be wanting to look forward to for the next 18 months ! If the resort of Serfaus-Fiss-Ladis in Austria was on your list, I'd recommend this chalet / appartement house, as it was pretty swish last year(sauna etc) and did have proper twin beds !
