The time has come to start thinking about ski trips 09/10 - so here is the question: where to ski in Switzerland this season?

Dallenwill-Wirzwili? Hochwang? Tschterten? Chur-Brambuesch?

Actually my eye keeps returning to the Val D'Anniviers; I know there are some correspondents on here who have intimate knowledge of the area.

So would it suit me? Not bothered about lively nightlife - decent dinner and beer or three these days.
Have been ski-ing for 35 year plus; like to cruise but I also like a bit of adventure as well.
Also enjoy the occasional decent mountain lunch.

Any answers would be most appreciated.

St Luc/Chandolin is the cruisey area of the Anniviers,with optional steeps, plus there are some exceptional restaurants too.
This one is at the bottom of a long fast red. http://prilet.ch/

Are you thinking about a hotel or an apartment holiday?

The nightlife in Grimentz is a little rustic ) , though there are bars in the hotels.

Closest smart hotel to the main gondola is this one:

Prettiest budget hotel in the village IMHO:
