Hopefully a ski addict is all I'll become!!

Been trawling the brouchers swaying towards the "first choice" operator now thinking of Switzerland or France. Its so hard I want somewhere picturesque wt options for other activities but mainly want to ski not bothered about loads of nightlife as thats not my scene.

I'm liking in Switzerland Wengen and Saas Fee I've heard Switzerland is pretty expensive compared to other areas is this true?

In France so far looking at Meribel, Val Cenis, and the Three Valleys area any expert opinions?!

Its a mind field!!

Hey everyone

Thanks for all your help

Decided that maybe I will bite the bullet & fly get over this silly phobia its time to start living :)

Trawling through brouchures at present will let you know when I narrow down the selection.

Really appreciate you all taking the time to offer advice & will take it into account when choosing where to go.

Thank you -Kim x

Thank you for the warm welcome & all the advice, I really appreciate it :)

Re the flying - I've always been a nervous flyer but after being on a plane where the engines failed I now prefer to keep my feet on the floor. For this time I think flying will be a step too far and I don't want to overshadow the holiday worrying about the trip home :S

Anyway I'm going to do some more research and check out the links (thanks!) and see if I can narrow done the selection.

Hello

I'm a total newbie to Skiing, after beating depression and overcoming social phobia I am now making the most of my life & want to take my first holiday in years and decided I'd love to take up skiing :)

Planning on doing a "learn to ski in a day" course at one of the indoor snow domes before embarking on a holiday, most probably by snow train (not overcome the flying phobia just yet :?

I will be going with my sister (also beginner) we are both in the later half of our 20's, not that that really matters!

I guess I am looking for advice on where to go, what tour operators are best to use for a "smoothly" run trip (don't want to be left stranded on a train station somewhere - que anxiety!) and any other hints & tips I should know before embarking on skiing holiday.
