Hello,
The excitement is back!
We are planning to ski in Dolomites this winter, probably in January.
We usually go on a package tour, HB hotel being our preferred accommodation.
We are looking for an area with good selection of easy blue and also more challenging runs, modern lifts, good snow record and beautiful scenery.
I know, we are not asking much )
What could you recommend?
Thank you for your advice.
Have a great winter,
Where to in Dolomites??

Hi Lynn,
Thank you for your reply.
Yes, all we need is... snow :-)
Do you know if La Villa is well connected to Corvara?
We like the sound of Cortina and Madonna as there seems to be a good variety of longish runs and we also like some live entertainment after skiing.
Have you skied there?
Kind regards,
Tony,
Thanks for your tip.
This chalet hotel is a good option.
The only possible problem might be a small size of a resort and hence lack of entertainment after skiing?
Kind regards,
Cheers for that.
Their wine is not bad, food very nice so I suppose it will do :wink:

Hi Bikki,
You should be safe with most of the Dolomites (runs wise) however I would not stay in Arabba if you are after easy blues as the return from the Corvara area involves a red which is not particularly novice friendly. Corvara would be ideal if you can find accommodation at a sensible price, though the slopes are quite sunny and low which may be a problem given the current lack of snow. I think Inghams are offering Corvara/La Villa this year or Colletts who we go with if they have anything available, though this would be a little more DIY (transfers from Venice are included but you would need to arrange your own flights.)
All we need now is some snow as with 49 sleeps to go I'm worried it will be a walking rather than skiing trip!! :(
Hope you have a great time wherever you choose to go. :D

Chalet Hotel Al Pigher in La Vella looks like a really good option, combining excellent variety of skiing with a decent standard hotel with very good facilities. Its available through Inghams I believe.

Its Italy. Just get in a bar and watch them wave their arms around, probably with some cheesy euro pop tunes in the background.
If theres beer/wine/vodka available, Bob's your uncle )

Have a look at Selva, bit bigger so you should get a better choice of accommodation. More skiing on your doorstep.
