Liking the looks of that and looking forward to the full report. I wonder what poor old St. John thinks about being called 'crap' all the time? :-)

Lech and Zürs are worth a mention. 250cm on top; 120cm in the village. That's gonna stick around for a while yet. They're not exactly 'bargain basement', but then again, neither is Obergurgl. Good luck.

The cat's out of the bag already, I'm afraid. -) Along with a few others, I have been 'banging on' about Monte Rosa ever since Tony H announced that it was to be the destination of his next ski-holiday. :)

Seriously, a top report and some nice pictures too. I love the area; it's top of the list for 2014 and I suggest that anyone thinking about visiting does it sooner rather than later as the lift company is going to want to see a return on its (not inconsiderable) investment, resulting in busier pistes. I wouldn't go so far as to mention the 'Q' word just yet, though.

I know the Punta Jolanda restaurant as we based ourselves in Gressoney. Best bombardinos (bombardini?) bar none. Last year but one, we did half board, but the evening access by snow-cat is good to know in case we take the B+B option next time.

Just reading the report is getting me really 'revved up' to re-visit. In fact, I'd love nothing better than to be there right now. The 'foot of fresh' that they had over the weekend should make for some terrific off-piste action this week. As I said, great report and thanks for taking the trouble. :thumbup:

Thanks for the 'heads up'. Only ever heard good stuff about Lofer for families.

Nice report. This area interests me for a possible future family trip. I'll bear in mind the facilities that Reith has to offer.

Were they 'smart' - 'Calvins', or 'scruffy' - 'Ethels'? :lol:

Alaska. ;-)
