I read somewhere ( & also got it from my brother inlaw who has had similar experience)that with this conditon ( & the drugs he will now be taking) keeping the altitiude as low as possible is the way to go; so if this is correct, keep away from the major high altitude rsorts.
Hope he keeps on the road to full recovery.
Be lucky

Just 'google'full accomdation name & it will come up somewhere on the list...........although if driving , peak retreats offer a euro tunnel flexi pass in the price ( which I can confirm is worth £399-00 on its own) so you will be hard pushed to beat their combined price.

I think you make some very good points...........was actually considering something with peak retreats myself (+ family) this coming season; so if I can change my outlook on the drive ( wife to nervous to drive in France so usually becomes a bit of an endurance as a sole driver trying to cover off hundreds of miles in a day) maybe I will end up preferring this ; must say as well, getting through Gatwick is a bloody nightmare these days ( out & inbound); I think for actual travelling hours you could probably match the time driving Vs flying to some of the closer ski areas as there isnt the hours of hanging about in airports..........
I,m begining to like the 'sound' of this........... :D

They are low prices BUT once you add the travel etc on it comes up to 'normality', although still a good price. If you drive & are stopping overnight you can add around £600 for the journey & more if you fly drive.............+ you get the agro of doing the drive !!! probably only a good cost saver if doing in the school holidays otherwise I think you can match , if not beat ,the price doing a late TO booking & most likely get 1/2 board as well).
Thats my 'take'

Thanks for the feed back everyone, + the pics look great Lynn. Coincedently enough, last March I went to book a late deal at Sauze but by the time I'd okayed it with my ski buddie, it was sold :cry: Hotel splendid if I remember correctly.
Will keep your advise in mind & watch the snow conditions as we approach nect season.
Thanks again.

On a side issue, Tony H; which do you prefer? Austria or Italy

Probably best to buy one in the style you like & 'paint' it with a chrome effect paint......there are some decent paints availble ( if you dont mind paying for it) that should do the job.

Hi everyone,
Am keen to go back to Italy again this coming season & was hoping I could get some advice on a resort;
Am after,

Tree line skiing ( doesnt have to 100%)
Ski back to village ( ideally ski in/ ski out)
Approx 100km + of piste ( can be more; need to be enough skiing for a week)
'Relatively' good value ( unfortunately I have to work to a budget ).
Decent amount of reds , not too fussed about blacks.

Thanks in advance
