Hi all,
We'd love to drive to Italy next February half term - there are four of us, two parents and our teenage daughters.
Any recommendations of a good resort with a range of accommodation? Ideally ski-in, ski-out.
A big consideration is for the girls to go somewhere where there'll be others of the same age - they get very bored with us oldies all the time :cry:
And we're experienced ski-iers, so tuition isn't a major factor, although we might book a few private lessons to brush up.

Shortest drive would be Sauze, fun kind of place with lots of cruising reds and a young crowd.
Cervinia might be a good shout.
Otherwise, your drive over will be much longer if heading to the Dolomoties, although I'd take a couple of extra days and head for somewhere like Selva.

Ill be out teaching in Passo Tonle that week. Was there last half term and its not bad. Really modern lift system and much quiter than some of the better known resorts. For instance we had the choice of Bormio but apparently its manic half term.
Ponte de legno is nice as well and is linked in with a big new gondala.

If you are experienced skiers steer well clear of Passo Tonale, the pistes are short and very much up and down, we were their for four days and spent a lot of our time in Ponte legno
as the slopes are that much more difficult, well as least more red. 8)

Thanks. Sauze has definite appeal - hubby and I went there pre-kids and had a ball - I'm sure our daughters would enjoy it.
I've love to return to the Dolomites - it was the first place I ski-ed on a school trip, aged 14 - but the drive from Cardiff is a bit daunting to be honest

how about la Thuille... ski in good runs and a nice place and you can ski Courmayuer as well on the same pass....and 80 miles nearer than Sauze and Selva is another 100 miles on that

Pila is close by too and the town of Aosta itself has lots of shops, restaurants, Roman ruins, etc. if you want some time away from the slopes.daved wrote:how about la Thuille... ski in good runs and a nice place and you can ski Courmayuer as well on the same pass....and 80 miles nearer than Sauze and Selva is another 100 miles on that
