The Schilthorn is the one above Murren with the revolving restaurant of James Bond fame isn't it? When do you intend to ski it? It's on my 'things to do while in Wengen list' first week in February. I'll be able to give my 2p when I get back. If you ski the area before then I would be interested to hear your opinions and experiences. Have a good one. :D

Hi Ally, I've been a little distracted so far this season, but I have finally got my act together and am off to Wengen (1st Feb). Would you do the honours, please? Bit of an unknown quantity for me. Anyone have any experience? Good,bad or indifferent. :-)

Pros: Wot Andy Hull said. Also got to big up the off-piste itinerary to Lac du Lou. Best day's skiing EVER! Topped off by watching French kids tearing down the slope, into the lake and water-skiing to the other side. Chapeau!
Cons: would largely agree with Andy Hull again; except I saw the distance to Courchevel as a +ve. Weather was fantastic 95% of the time. Mind you,it was late April. I imagine they must have some shockers in Jan/Feb. |

Edge, I have PM'd you with a possible option.

Soll or Mayrhofen if price is an issue. Cheap deals for either to be had except peak season in a great snow year like this one. Both should suit your level of skiing too.
Right. Off to the land of the Mickey Mouser to catch my flight to Geneva. VT tomorrow. 20 cms of fresh reported, and that's in Meribel!!! Smug? Moi? :-D |

Solden is a good shout. Not sure if any of the major UK tour operators do packages but that shouldn't be a problem if you are d-i-y-ing for 5 nights. Another place that is off the radar of the TO's is Serfaus. That's an area I really like the look of. What I have heard about it is all good.
Right. Better get packing. Have I mentioned that I'm going skiing tomorrow? :lol: |

Soll or Kitzbuhel from experience. Saalbach and Mayrhofen look OK too. I love St. Anton but it's better suited to advanced intermediates who are prepared to have a crack at some of the un-pisted itineraries. The lift-pass looks much better value when you factor in the ski-routes.

:-D. TR to follow for anyone who still gives a monkey's.... |
