hi!
Im looking for some room mates to spend a week skiing/boarding in les arc (2000), france from the 3rd jan to the 10th.
The chalet im hoping to rent out is the 'Chalet Alpina', which is close to the slopes, and has free acsess to a swimming pool and sauna in the 'L’Ours complex'.
The chalet sleeps 10, and at the moment i have 5 of mi friends, but desperately need another 4! prices are £579 per person, based on two people sharing a room. rooms available are 2 twins.
Ages between 18-20, lads or gals, ski/board standard dosent matter. we are hopefully departing from manchester.
if you need any other infomation please wirte...could any hopefulls reply as quickly as possible as the chalet is a popular choise, and we want to book as soon as possible.
thanks katie.

pavelski,

great idea, gives it more info for other skiiers!

ok, well im actuly in love for corvara so, keeping in the same order of parameters:

1,snow)-7
2,terrain)-8
3,staff)-10
4,infa structure)-8
5,social)-9
6,Access)-8 (although greatly depends on weather you fly, drive or go by train)
7,view)-9
8,personal accomadation (chalet/aparment/hotel)- hotel la perla -10!
9,skiiers and snowboarders?)-6 not great for snowboarders

this takes a bit more time than just writing down a specific resort, but for first time skiiers i can imagin that this could be a good guide.

-no restrictions :!: :!: :!:

-for me corvara ,italy

best moutain restaurents, wide selection of hotels, unknown (well was!), fab sceanery, generaly good conditions....

keep the debate going!

possibly the best ski resort on the planet???

i think so :lol:

hi,
I'm 17 but thought i might have the perfct answer for you! - the dolomites
Its about a 3-1/2 hr journey from Bergamo, but is worth the drive. In my opinion the dolomites are far more impressive than the alps, sceanery wise, and has the same standard of runs.
Im going back to a place called corvara in the alta badia area (1500m). It's not the most atractive place, but is set in a very beautiful area. It is an ideal base to explore the 'sella ronda' circut. mostly blues and reds, long winding runs...some through trees.
I think it would be a good starting point for learning how to ski. It may be worth looking at the other towns in the dolomites, as i have only ever stayed in covara.
we are staying in the 'hotel la perla', which for me, no other hotel will beat. Their is a bigger hotel next door, 'sporthotel panorama' (is more touristy, big pool, spa ect...ect), as well as a few other nice hotels.
just as an extra, im travelling by train to corvara this time, so you might want to look in to the rail network from verona to bolzano. I know that the trains are about every 1-1/2. (not sure if they run from milan - i have a feeling that the station is not handy from the ariport) from bolzano its about an hour to corvara.

hope this helps

- corvara seems to be a well kept gem by the italians. plus, and heres the best bit, the food in the moutain restaurents is to die for! :D
