Resorts you haven't been to but should

I've got this wish list of places I want to ski, some of which I've been lucky enough to have done already.
But there's also a number of places I've looked at and put lower down the pecking order due to things I've read or been told, often things like access time to the slopes, queues, busy pistes etc.

But

I'm wondering whether I'm wrong and that these places should be investigated, especially as so many people rave on about how amazing they are.

So; I have 2 lists here. The first is places I've read about that I want to visit in the foreseeable future, the second a list of resorts I keep being told I should ski.

Anyone got any views on either list, in particular the 2nd list?

List 1; wish list

Dolomites - val Gardena/arabba/selva
Bad gastein
Ischgl
Sölden
Cervinia
Crans Montana
Val d'Isere
Schladming

List 2; places I'm told to visit
Saalbach
Tignes
Meribel
Morzine
Zermatt
Wengen
Soll
Ski welt
Ski amade
Obergurgl

Now thats better ......

1. Cervinia

2. Sestriere

3. La clusza

4. Anzere

5. Jungfrau region

6. Dolomites

1 & 2 are possibles for March and maybe 5 next year.

What's this?
Places you want to go or places you're told you should go?

I was hoping for feedback on the places I'd listed really mate

I was going on the thread Title " Resorts you have never been to but should" :shock:

Not too sure at the mo ..... never really throught of The Kronplatz as a place to ski, I think i would rather be more into the dolomites than the Brenta D's, so at the moment I am not saying no but I have to convince her in doors that a J2ski ski holiday is the place to be.
Little W is not too bothered where she skis but her in doors may need some convincing.

OK. Just to set the ball rolling, here's my 'two- pennorth' on your List 2.

Saalbach: interests me, but never managed to find it for the 'right' money.

Tignes: Do it!

Meribel: can't put my finger on why 3V has never appealed. Might have a better idea when I return from VT in April.

Morzine: been to PdS once. Spent most of the time in Chatel, Avoriaz and over the Swiss border. A brilliant ski-area Night-life can be a bit erm... 'French' though :wink: .

Zermatt: Would love to!

Wengen: as above (but not as much as Zermatt.)

Soll/Skiwelt: Big area, nothing too challenging. Would go back with family like a shot. Great value, so would also do it as a cheaper, second trip.

Ski Amade: would do it as a DIY job. Cheap flights to Salzburg and hire a car, which I think would be needed to get around. Otherwise,stay in Gastein, which I think is part of the area.

Obergurgl: would rather go to Solden (next door) or Serfaus.

I'll be the first to admit that my negative thoughts on Meribel and Obergurgl are, to some extent, pre-conceived. I look forward to people who have had great times there 'putting me right'.

Wow! Big response to this one. Not exactly set the ball rolling, Have I? :lol:
