Is it busy on the slopes?

Is there queuing to get on the lifts?

This January it was very quiet on the slopes and no queues even at the bottom station of the main 6-seater heated bubble in a village centre :D

Due to it's very compact centre most accomodation is virtually ski-in ski-out. Eating out is a treat :)
The only downsides ) are:
- no tree line runs in Cervinia, but plenty in Zermatt and Pila;
- very quiet in the evening if you are party animal, but plenty of restaurants and bars.

My plans for 2013:

Jan Ski Trip
March Ski Trip
J2Ski Trip :D

Better start saving now :shock:

It is doable, particularly in January.
We paid £379 for H/B hotel package to Cervinia this January.
~£210 for a lift pass + appr. £150 for food and drinks while there.
Cervinia is not too expensive and local pizzas are delicious. It is a different story over the hill in Zermatt though.

AllyG,

Me + 3 more off to La Tania :) with 120 cm of snow at the base!

However, I have one question.

Did you make it to the moose?

Thank you for a great reporet Tony :thumbup:
We hope to make it to St Anton one day.

6 sleeps to La Tania & 3 Valleys :D

I'd recommend Cervinia due to it's height and link to Zermatt. It is at the far end of Aosta Valley, but you can get a bus from Aosta, probably with one change further down the valley, to keep the costs down.
