We're off for a week in January, and as I missed out last season (we were going to go to BC for a couple of weeks, but husband made me go to Vegas and marry him instead, damn him) I quite fancy trying to get a late season week somewhere else - I'm thinking late March or April, after the school holidays.
We can fly easily to Geneva, Innsbruck and Grenoble.
We have an experienced boarder and a wimpy skier (me) - I'm a nice wide red run cruiser!
Ideally not France, I fancy somewhere different this time, and we're going to France in January
Probably needs to be high
Preferably no more than 60-90 mins transfer
Some nice bars and restaurants, I'm too old for wild nightlife.... :lol:
Any suggestions would be very welcome to get me started. I need to start planning now so I have something to look forward to the minute I step off the plane home in January!
Now then you lot

Zermatt... although when I was there a lot of the area wasn't open (no demand, not too little snow) what was open fits the bill, plenty of long wide cruisy reds especially over in to Cervinia.
Edit: transfer durations might not suit you but there is plenty to look at on the way...

Zermatt would not be a good choice for a beginner

Dave, am I missing something?
Sounds perfect to me... what I saw of Zermatt suggested that it has plenty of confidence inspiring terrain choices.

(apologies to regulars who've heard me say this a million times...)
Obergurgl/Hochgurgl ticks every box there.
90 mins from Innsbruck
Lovely hotels with bars and restaurants (and a club or two if you get the urge!)
Highest resort in Austria, open late into the season
all cruisy blues and reds
I'd highly recommend it.
The only negative is that it's not a mega resort so wouldn't suit you if you like to ski a different run each time.

Nope, we're not too bothered about mega resorts! And Obergurgl is on the list thank you!
