It´s my first time skiing in Europe. I´m currently in Zermatt and eventhough it´s much expensive than St. Anton where I´ve been last week, in my family we are all enjoying Zermatt a lot. Huge mountain 8including Cervina, nice town, good snow...I would recommend it

Great pictures! I´m traveling from Argentina to St Anton for my first time next week. It seems it worth the long trip.

Hi Cags,

I´ll be doing a similar trip on February, unfortunatelly shorter than yours. I´m going to St Anton and have to book another week somewhere. I was planning Zermatt or Val d' isere, but haven't found an easy way to reach there from St Anton.

Did you find a train form St Anton to Zermatt?

Hi everybody. I'm here again with some questions. Finally we have decided to go to St Anton for the last week of February. We still have to decide what to do in our ski second week. Either staying in St Anton and sking in the resorts nearby (lech, etc) or going to another place.
I would like better going to Zermatt or Val d'isere or Tignes, but I cannot find easy railway connections. Does anybody have any suggestions both about which resort to choose and how to get there? We are a family with 3 children (between 15 and 12) and we all like challenging runs

After the second week we are travelling by plane to London from Zurich or Geneva, so the place that we choose should have easy connections to those places.

Thanks in advance

Thanks to all. Very helpfull information.

I haven't been in Japan, but Las Leñas is the best option in Argentina if you looking for backcountry.

The lifts are old and service is not very good, either the on-piste skiing (too easy). But backcountry is great!!

Hi everybody,

We are a family from Argentina planning to travel for 2 week to Zermatt and Chamonix and I have a couple of questions, if anybody can help us:

We are 5, my wife, myself and 3 boys (15 and twins of 12), all good skiers. We are planning to go to Camonix and Zermatt in January or February.Is there any week that is better to avoid due to school holidays (like President's week in the US)?

When we go to the US we usually rent a condo. It seems that in Europe there are much more hotels than condos. Is that true?

Does anybody has a hotel or condo in Zermatt or Chamonix to recommend? We are thinking in something reasonably priced close to the lifts.

Thanks in advance
