Quickie.
Anyone know which resort (europe) has the greatest or a larger number of green runs?
My wife is very much a beginner and while she can handle easy blues and nice amount of greens would be a big plus.
We are possibly looking to get away again later this season dependant on price.
I did notice the ADH has a nice selection of greens but i am turned off by the lack of tree lined skiing, i love the trees.
Any other suggestions?
Thank you.

Thanks, i did look at Valmorel but was put off by its size. it seems a smallish place, little apres, and few cannons.
I guess i want the best of both worlds, large resort with tons for me to do and enough for the beginners too.
It may be too much to ask though.
Thanks Finn, i looked at Soldeu too....in fact having been to Andorra before i would like to go back. The only problem with Soldeu for me is the lack of SC Apartments. Or at least offered by the major TO's. I am sure i could find somewhere DIY though.
There are lots of self catered appartments if you go DIY, we have friends that have found some real bargains!
I love soldeu! :D

I think Valmorel is meant to have lots of easy skiing.

I think Soldeu in Andorra is a great confidence boosting resort. Plenty of easy greens & cruising blues.

What about either, Montgenevre, Risoul or La Rosiere

If your wife can handle blues I wouldn't get too hung up looking for resorts with greens - they are often so slow that it can be hard to practice your technique. Often they are flat areas that link other pistes & involve hiking.
I would reitterate what others have said about the Granvalira resorts (like Soldeu & El Tartar) in Andorra - the blues there don't have hidden horrors & the ski schools are highly regarded. (It's got plenty of skiing for intermediates too).
We had our second week on snow there & loved it. The mountain cafes were a little uninspiring but that's as far as the negatives go. Even in a year of little snow they had the snow cannons working hard to keep the pistes well maintained. (Some of the reds high up beyond the canons were a little thin)
