Pavel, many thanks for doing this quiz.

I may not have got them correct, but I have enjoyed trying to find the correct answers, and have certainly learnt many things I probably would never have known about skiing otherwise.

Thanks again, your time is very appreciated.

How about the Jungfrau region. Either Wengen, Grindlewald or Murren.

Options for non skiers almost everywhere, as part of the ski-lift system involves the use of the mountain trains. There are sledge trails around and last time I was there these were also being used by walkers, but there is also plenty of walking in the valleys. Easy to get to Interlaken or Thun by the train and then you have plenty of things to do. You can get all the way up to the Piz Gloria restaurant by cable car. I would say that it may be worth a look.

:shock: Bummer Snapzz, how bad is it? :cry:

Plenty of time to get the gear cleaned and dried.

Plus you can always use the argument that now you have your own skis, every time you use them, you actually save the cost of hiring for the week, so you get a net gain of £100 or so :shock:

It's only a 30-40 minute drive from Les Arcs. Why not pack the family off home and extend to a fortnight :wink:

:shock:

Too right Brooksy. What happens in Tignes, stays in Tignes! Or at least stays in the private Tignes Facebook group to remind us all next year what a great time we had :twisted:

:D Yep, only 123 days to go. Have to start doing the washing from last year soon :shock:

:twisted:

As OA states only real issue you may face is the weather.

Do not forget to go prepared, ideally with winter tyres, but also with chains, as if the weather turns, the local powers that be can enforce you to fit them. Tignes is pretty easy to get to, decent road all the way to Bourg St Maurice, then the road beyond is better than most for a resort run. Follow the signs to Val D'Isere, and turn off at the Dam for Tignes.
