I am now looking at:

Sella Ronda area for Italy

Ischgl/Schladming/Solden for Austria

Zermatt/Laax for Switzerland

I have dismissed France out of hand as none it really compares to the above for what I want. I was seriously considering Les Arcs until I came across the bits that said it was bleak, miserable, lots of long cold lifts, plenty of queuing, and very expensive to eat/drink out and on the slopes. I guess thats much of France summarised in one sentence. Alpe d'Huez keeps appearing and then disappearing from my list, but I just cant put anything French above the above.

And then, after all thi research, the Mrs goes and finds a couple of particularly smart chalets in Verbier that she wants me to look into forher...... :shock: :roll:


Classy woman Mrs H :mrgreen:

Tony,
I agree with your idea of avoiding France but your ski needs seem pretty much the same as mine and I loved Alpe d'Huez for everything but the beer and food prices. If your gonna go to France try it.
When in doubt?....Flat out.

I like italy !!

been to la thuille from La Ros and loved the skiing there much better than La Ros..and the drag is a drag!..Courmayeuer is ok and the lift pass includes 2 days in La T (including free bus)or Pila or even Cervinia (but it is a trek from there)

Looking at a budget trip next season and thinking of going to Limone di Piedmonte..which has a few special offers of hotels including the pass..and no single supplement (€399 for the week RyanAir (spit) to Cuneo)
