It has been a while since I skied it with a friend who lives in Toronto.
Although it was in March it was very cold on the mountain.
All runs are approximately the same length 1200 - 1300 m, parallel to each other and located on one side of the long, but not high mountain. Limited skiing area and rather plain scenery. Simply does not compare with Alps but if you are very keen to ski you can have some fun there. We had! There are some decent bars/restaurants and lodgings in the resort.

0 sleeps!
Off to Gatwick in 30 minutes.
And then cafe latte and all the usual nonsense ;)

We stayed in Cervinia with Inghams last season and went for an organised day skiing to Pila. I asked about bus connections and was told that it is possible to get there and back but one bus change is required at the bottom of Aosta Valley and it would take a long time. Car hire woulkd probably be the better option.

Another snow-sure area in March is relatively cheap Cervinia (Italy) linked with Zermatt (Switzerland)with 3 glaciers to ski on.
The season in Cervinia ends in May for maintenance and reopens in July on glacier for Summer skiing!

Quick newsflash from Lech - Cafe Schneider no longer exists it seems!

My boys skied it this week and said it was a challenge with icy stretches and at the end of the run its a 100m uphill walk to the furka however, the Furka is very handy for the chair and bus. It's only 15m walk to where you can ski down to the chair or catch the bus into Lech. The Furka is a cosy chalet with great hosts. You will be looked after. I suspect the Madloch run will be fine once it is opened again. Hope the helps :D

Thank you :!:

Have you skied down Red Route No:48 on the chairlift side of the mountain?

Regards,

Conditions.should be brill. Run down into Zug closed Today due to avalanche rating. Had to get the bus back from Lech but great skiing. -)

Fantastic :)

We are off to Zug in 9 days. Can't wait!

Have you skied down to Zug at all this trip?
Is so which of the 2 Red routes is in your opinion easier:
1. Down from Madloch or
2. down from Zugerberg ?

Regards,

If you like off-piste skiing and lively apres ski then Verbier is hard to beat!
Zermatt offers beautiful views and plenty of long scenic pistes, ideal for intermediates.
Both are not ideal for beginners.
