https://www.j2ski.com/ski-chat-forum/posts/list/15.page Latest messages posted in the topic "Best ski resort for experienced skiers and non-skiers" Hi <br /> <br /> Does anyone have any suggestions on ski resorts that are good for skiers who like to travel a lot of ground along with some that don't want to ski everyday and so would like other activities such as walking and cross country skiing. Any advice and thoughts greatly appreciated! <br /> <br /> Many thanks <br /> https://www.j2ski.com/ski-chat-forum/posts/preList/14340/137174.page https://www.j2ski.com/ski-chat-forum/posts/preList/14340/137174.page Tue, 17 Sep 2013 19:27:48 GMT How active are the "other activities"? Sounds like you want "towns with good skiing" rather than just ski resorts, so... how about Serre Chevalier (lots of different activities in the area and an actual town - Briancon - to explore)? <br /> <br /> Will you have your own transport or be relying on public transport and/or tour operator transfers? https://www.j2ski.com/ski-chat-forum/posts/preList/14340/137188.page https://www.j2ski.com/ski-chat-forum/posts/preList/14340/137188.page Tue, 17 Sep 2013 22:14:21 GMT Thanks for getting back to me! They would be relying on public transport but will ski some days so its just finding somewhere with opportunity do do other things if conditions are not ideal. Somewhere with nice walking routes and possibility to learn cross country would be ideal? Will have a look at serre chevalier, thanks for the suggestion! https://www.j2ski.com/ski-chat-forum/posts/preList/14340/137190.page https://www.j2ski.com/ski-chat-forum/posts/preList/14340/137190.page Wed, 18 Sep 2013 07:41:03 GMT Chamonix....lots of things to do..but the skiing is a bit spread out...or how about Bourg St Maurice...nice town and Les Arcs at the top of the Funicular...Mayerhofen ...lots of everything with good links https://www.j2ski.com/ski-chat-forum/posts/preList/14340/137191.page https://www.j2ski.com/ski-chat-forum/posts/preList/14340/137191.page Wed, 18 Sep 2013 07:44:50 GMT Thanks for the help - mayerhofen sounds good as we like to be able to easily access the skiing!
