I am off to Courmayeur tomorrow , feeling a little concerned about travel to resort from Geneva.
Hoping tomorrow will be cleared from the roads.

With more heavy snow forecast will they potentially close the lifts ?

Well I ended completely off track , only because of a deal Mrs P found with Mark Warner.
Now booked to go to Courmayeur on New Year's Eve , never been there before ( never skied In Italy before).
Any good ? I know it's not a huge ski field but opportunities to Cham or La Thuile etc.

My daughter has asked if there be snow at village level in Soll , Can I safely assume there will not be any at that time of year because of the resort height ?

Thank you all for the advice, much appreciated .

Now to spend the night deciding.

Hi Ncouse, planning on Leaving on 30th Dec, I can see that Soll is quite low and there will be risk, I have never stayed at a resort that low before, especially early season.

Hi Dobby , thanks for responding , three people going , one intermediate safe skier, one fast skier and a fearless 13 year old.

However , since I posted, the hotel did not look like it was that good so now looking at Soll , never skied Austria before so that's why we fancy it.

Normally we book catered chalet or hotel , not up to the ridiculous hours because we love to get first tracks.

So any advice on Austrian skiing would be great fully welcome.

Hi all, has anyone been to Obertauern at all, if so is it worth trying?
